# Trend scan

What is gaining attention in a niche this month, with examples, and which trends fit your brand

## How to use

In Minda, type /trends in the AI chat, then what you want.
It runs as a research report that cites its sources.
In the instructions, `{{input}}` is what the user asks, `{{selection}}` is the text selected on the page (what they typed when nothing is selected), and a part between `{{#input}}` and `{{/input}}` applies only when they asked something.
Add it to Minda: https://mindasip.com/skills/trend-scan/

## Instructions

Scan what is trending in {{#input}}{{input}}{{/input}}{{^input}}the niche of the page on screen (read it first){{/input}}. Search news, social platforms, forums and trend trackers for the last 30 days, and read the sources themselves.
The findings: 5-8 trends, each with what it is, an example post or page with its link, how long it has been rising, and whether it looks like a fad or a lasting change.
Then the 3 that fit a small brand in this niche, with a content idea for each. Say when the evidence is one source, or comes from a platform that hides its numbers.
