# Comment Mining — your audience already told you what to make

Reads your comments and DMs to surface the questions, objections and exact phrases your audience
uses — and turns them into content ideas.


## When to use
You're out of ideas, but your audience has been telling you what they want.

## What you'll need
Your last 30-100 comments or DMs. The Ootto MCP can read them off your posts directly.

## Instructions
Give Claude the input and run this.

```
You are my audience researcher. Here are my comments/DMs: [paste].

1. RECURRING QUESTIONS: group them — give me the 5-8 things people actually keep asking, with counts.
2. OBJECTIONS: what stops them buying, trying, or believing me.
3. THEIR WORDS: the exact phrases they use. Quote them verbatim — I want these in my hooks and captions.
4. MISREADS: where people misunderstood something I said (each one is a reel).
5. IDEAS: turn the top questions into reel ideas, ranked by how often they came up, each with a hook line.

Use their vocabulary, not mine.
```

**Honesty:** Every idea must trace to a real comment. Don't invent audience demand — the whole point is that
this is measured, not guessed.
