AI Market Research Assistant for Malaysian Online Fashion Sellers
Challenge: Malaysian online fashion sellers on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop make most of their product, pricing, and restocking decisions based on gut feel. They have no dedicated analyst, no market research tool built for their scale, and no time to monitor competitors, trends, and platform changes every day.
Solution: TrendMate is an AI-powered market research assistant that gives fashion sellers fast, data-backed answers on what to stock, how to price it, and when to promote — in plain, actionable language that busy sellers can act on immediately.
Searches TikTok Malaysia, Shopee trending pages, and local fashion media to identify what clothing styles, colours, and silhouettes are gaining momentum this week.
Checks competitor listings and current market prices on Shopee and Lazada to give sellers a recommended price range for any product category.
Finds wholesale sourcing options — both local Malaysian suppliers and China sourcing via Alibaba/1688 — with typical MOQs and landed cost estimates.
Flags upcoming Malaysian sale events (Raya, CNY, 11.11, 12.12) and advises on stocking timelines, top-selling styles, and promotional strategies for each season.
Sidebar includes 10 common seller questions — from trending styles to hashtag strategy to profit margins. One click sends the question with no typing required.
Every answer has a copy button for quick use. Full conversation can be downloaded as a .txt file — useful for sharing research with business partners.
The reasoning engine. Claude reads Tavily search results across multiple sources, identifies the most relevant market signals, and synthesises a 3-sentence actionable recommendation with evidence.
Claude uses the Anthropic tool-use API in a ReAct loop — it decides what to search, calls Tavily, reads results, and iterates until confident. Typically 1–3 searches per question.
The system prompt restricts Claude to the Malaysian fashion market, enforces the 3-sentence format with evidence + action structure, and requires price ranges to be in RM and platform-specific.
The system prompt is aware of the Malaysian seasonal sales calendar — Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, 11.11, 12.12, school holidays — and flags urgency when a prep window is approaching.
