How I Reduced a 6-Week Market Research Process to 2 Minutes

Most founders skip market research.

Not because it's not important.

Because it usually means:

Hours on Google
Reading industry reports
Searching competitors
Analyzing Google Maps listings
Building spreadsheets nobody reads

So I asked myself:

What if AI could do the entire process automatically using real-world data?

For the last few months, I've been building Evaltrum Intelligence.

A tool that combines:

Google Maps business data
Web research
Competitor analysis
Market trends
AI synthesis

To generate a complete market intelligence report in minutes.

A recent example

I tested it on a local bakery project.

Manual approach

Research time: ~5 hours
Competitors identified: 12
Report quality: basic notes and screenshots

Evaltrum Intelligence

Research time: 2 minutes
Competitors identified: 37
Local market analysis
Customer demand signals
SWOT analysis
Growth opportunities

The biggest surprise wasn't the time saved.

It was discovering competitors and market opportunities that I had completely missed manually.

What I learned

Founders don't need more AI-generated fluff.

They need:

Real data
Faster decisions
Less research overhead

The goal isn't replacing thinking.

It's removing the 80% of research work that nobody enjoys doing.

I'm still improving the product every week and looking for feedback from founders who spend too much time researching markets.

What part of market research takes you the longest?
