Topic demand

Ask whether a category, keyword, or niche is growing. Cite42 gives your AI the primitive endpoints to check demand, momentum, and current AI coverage.

Overview

Use this for market research, positioning, content planning, and product bets.

It combines search volume with trend direction, instead of treating one number as the whole market.

The workflow price is calculated from the primitive tools it runs. The listed default is $0.37 for all models; pass fewer models to reduce the per-model primitive portion.

Example

Ask your agent in plain English and it calls the workflow tool for you:

# you say
Should we build content around "AI agent monitoring" this quarter?

The tool runs every primitive in parallel and returns the aggregated data to your agent (you never see this directly):

{
  "status": "workflow_result",
  "workflow": "topic_demand",
  "results": [
    { "endpoint": "/v1/keywords", "ok": true, "why": "Adds search volume, CPC, competition, and related keyword ideas.", "data": { /* full /v1/keywords output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/trends", "ok": true, "why": "Shows whether demand is rising, flat, or fading.", "data": { /* full /v1/trends output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/search", "ok": true, "why": "Shows what AI models already say about the topic.", "data": { /* full /v1/search output */ } },
    { "endpoint": "/v1/reddit/trends", "ok": true, "why": "Adds repeated questions, pain points, and language from Reddit.", "data": { /* full /v1/reddit/trends output */ } }
    // …one entry per primitive in the workflow
  ]
}

Your agent reads the per-source results and answers you in plain English:
