How it works

Three steps, every time you run a search: describe what you're after, we search public discussions for it, and an AI classifier turns what's found into something you can act on — a ranked lead if you're selling, a tracked signal if you're researching.

1. Describe what you're after

A sentence is enough — what you sell, or the area you're researching. The system turns it into the phrases someone with that problem would actually type, not a restatement of your own pitch, because forum search matches words, not intent.

2. Public communities get searched

Dozens of specialist forums running Discourse, plus Hacker News, GitHub and Stack Exchange, are all searched by default — wherever the people who'd have this problem actually post. Which sources actually get checked depends on the area, not one fixed list run every time.

3. AI reads it, you don't have to

This is where intent classification happens: looking for leads, every post gets scored 0–100 on how close the author is to hiring someone — not on keyword overlap — with a one-line reason and a next step specific to that thread, once it clears 70. Two posts from the same author saying the same thing get merged into one lead, not counted twice. Researching a market instead, recurring problems get grouped into signals: named, scored, and tracked as they grow or fade across everyone's research in that area over time.

Manual reply, not automated outreach

The service never posts, messages, or replies on your behalf — there's no automated outreach here. It finds the conversation and scores it; writing and publishing a reply is a decision you make yourself, on the original site, outside this tool.

Track a lead, or let it watch for you

Every lead can be marked New, Reviewed, Contacted, Replied, or Closed — and you can flag a score as wrong so the classifier keeps improving. Or save the search as a Watchlist: it re-runs on its own, daily or weekly, for free, and only emails you when it finds something new worth a look.
