The Problem

The guessing tax
is costing you.

1
You spent hours making something nobody wanted.
You listed it at a fair price. Took good photos. It sat. The trend had peaked two weeks earlier and you had no way to know. That's time, clay, and energy you won't get back.
2
Your competitors are moving faster — not because they're smarter.
Someone in your niche is listing exactly what buyers are searching for right now. Not because they have better instincts. Because they have better information. That gap is what MakerIntelligence closes.
3
You're drowning in data. Starving for decisions.
eRank, EverBee, trend reports — they give you numbers and expect you to figure out what to do with them. Nobody tells you what to actually make this week. Until now.

How It Works

Set up once.
Get smarter every week.

The longer you use MakerIntelligence, the more accurate it gets — because it learns your shop's history, what sold, and what flopped.

Your Report. Your Rules.

It learns you.
Then it adapts.

Every Friday update you submit doesn't just train the AI — it shapes next week's report. Tell it you're squeezed for time and it tightens the action list. Tell it to push mugs this week and it surfaces mug opportunities first. Over time, your report drifts away from the default and toward something that feels built entirely around you.

Founder · MakerIntelligence
Built by a person. Not a committee.

The system behind
the reports.

I built MakerIntelligence because I kept watching talented makers waste time and materials on products nobody was searching for. I’m 36, from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, and I studied Business with a focus on Engineering Management at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. That combination — systems thinking plus commercial instinct — is exactly what’s under the hood of every report. MakerIntelligence isn’t a faceless AI product. It’s a focused system I built, maintain personally, and stand behind. Every report that goes out has my name on it.

Questions

Answers to what you're probably wondering

Do I need to log in to anything?
No. Reports are delivered directly to your email inbox every Monday and Friday. No dashboard. No account to check. No app to download. Just open your email.
What niche does this cover right now?
We're live with Etsy ceramics, pottery, and candle sellers. Handmade jewelry is next, followed by fiber arts. If you make ceramics or candles, you're in the right place right now — your reports are built specifically for your niche's seasonal windows, search trends, and competitor gaps.
How does the AI learn my specific shop?
After you sign up, you fill out a short onboarding form about your shop. Every Friday, you submit a 90-second update — what sold, what flopped, what you're planning. Your AI reads your updates before building Monday's report. By Week 6, it's operating with over 80% accuracy for your shop specifically. The longer you stay, the smarter it gets.
What's the difference between Starter and Growth?
Starter gives you the #1 opportunity fully unlocked every week — complete with specific actions, copy-paste tags, and seasonal timing. Growth unlocks all 3 opportunities, adds a product analysis dashboard tracking your specific listings, full buyer voice quotes with ready-to-use listing copy, the Friday performance review showing how Monday's predictions actually did, and the full seasonal capture strategy for upcoming windows.
What happens at the end of my free trial?
On Day 12 of your trial you'll receive a personal email with a link to choose your plan and keep your reports coming. If you don't choose a plan, your reports pause after Day 14. No automatic charges — ever. No credit card is collected at signup.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime, no contracts. Keep in mind — when you cancel, your shop's AI history doesn't transfer. Six weeks of personalized data built around your shop stays with your subscription. The longer you stay, the more accurate and valuable your reports become.
I sell more than ceramics on my Etsy shop. Does this work?
The intelligence is built around your primary niche. If ceramics is your main category, the reports will be highly relevant even if you also sell other items. Multi-niche reporting is coming in a future tier — for now we go deep on one niche and do it right.

No subscription required.
