How to Research Trending Products with Claude
Discover trending TikTok Shop products using Claude and ToolRouter. Find viral products before they saturate.
Tool
Claude turns social commerce research into an interactive terminal session where each query builds on the last. Explore TikTok Shop and Amazon product data iteratively -- start with a broad category search, drill into pricing details and review patterns for specific products, then compare findings across platforms. The conversational depth lets you follow emerging trends as they develop, refining your search criteria based on what you discover rather than committing to a fixed research plan upfront. Your entire research trail stays organized in one session.
