# Research Market Trends

Staying ahead of market trends is essential for product strategy, investment decisions, and competitive positioning. But manually scanning dozens of sources every week is time-consuming and easy to let slip. Automating this research with web search and news aggregation surfaces patterns you would otherwise miss.

ToolRouter's Web Search tool combines general search with real-time news to give you a complete picture of what is happening in your market. The search skill finds established content like reports, analyses, and discussions, while news_search surfaces breaking developments and fresh coverage. Together they reveal both the long-term direction and the latest signals.

This approach is especially valuable for product managers scoping new features, analysts preparing market reports, and founders evaluating new market opportunities. Running these searches regularly builds a longitudinal view that one-off research cannot match.
