Primary use cases
Lead discovery from public threads
Search many communities in one run, rank posts for buying intent and fit, then open the threads worth replying to first - without tab-hopping.
- One workflow across the sources your plan includes (e.g. Reddit, X, Hacker News, GitHub, and more)
- Intent and sentiment on each result so urgency floats to the top
- Manual search for deep dives; saved history on paid plans
Idea validation & demand signals
Use Trending Problems and cross-community search to see what people complain about before you commit engineering time.
- Trending Problems for category-level demand signals
- Cross-platform themes with sentiment and intent
- Fast feedback from real conversations, not surveys alone
Brand & competitor conversations
Find where people talk about your product, solution, or competitors - then read the same intent signals on every result.
- Brand, alternatives, and competitor names in one ranked workflow
- Triage praise, risk, and opportunity with intent on mentions
- No separate “social listening” silo
Auto Search & digests
On paid plans, **Auto Search** runs **scheduled passes** using the **phrases, sites, and cadence** you save for **your brand** in **Settings**; optional **digest alerts** notify you in connected channels when there are **new** high-signal posts since the last digest.
- Your brand bundles keywords/phrases, platforms, and how often Auto Search runs
- Automatic Auto Search runs do not consume manual search quota
- Optional digest channels where your plan supports them
Content from real buyer language
Mine threads for phrases, objections, and themes your audience already uses - then feed SEO, landing pages, and campaigns.
- Trending Problems plus search for recurring topics
- Cross-platform themes instead of a single-site echo chamber
- Exports where your plan allows for stakeholder updates
MVP validation from pain threads
Listen for feature gaps, workarounds, and “I wish” moments where power users vent - then prioritize what ships next.
- Pain and feature-adjacent language from search
- Intent signals separate idle chatter from motivated users
- Competitive context when buyers compare tools in-thread
Competitor & switching intent
Mine “alternatives to X” and switching threads for positioning, comparisons, and ethical outbound.
- Search switching patterns across Reddit, HN, and more
- Honest comparison guides and live thread research
- Feed sales enablement from real buyer criteria
