IntentHunter in context.
Two ways to think about whether IntentHunter is for you: by the job you want done, or by the kind of founder you are.
What do you want to do?
Get to the buyer while they're still asking: reply to recommendation requests.
"Recommend me a tool that does X" is someone shopping out loud. IntentHunter finds these threads on Reddit, Hacker News, and X, scores each one 0-100 by how close they are to buying, says in one line why it matched, and drafts a reply, so you show up while the thread still counts.

Reach the switcher before your competitor wins them back: competitive intelligence.
When a rival raises prices or breaks a feature, their customers say so on Reddit and Hacker News, then go shopping. IntentHunter watches those competitor conversations, scores each thread 0-100 by how close someone is to switching, says in one line why it matched, and drafts a reply, so you read the switching moments instead of a mentions chart.

Your first 100 customers are already asking in public.
Pre-revenue, the job is to find the first real people who would use what you built. IntentHunter scans Reddit and Hacker News for threads where they describe the exact problem you solve, scores each one 0-100 by fit, says in one line why it matched, and drafts a reply.

Write content from real public pain, not a keyword list.
The best post answers a question someone actually asked. IntentHunter surfaces the recommendation requests and category-pain threads on Reddit and Hacker News where people describe the problem in their own words, scores each one 0-100, and says in one line why it matched, so your next post writes itself from real demand.

Social listening that finds the buyer, not just the mention.
Most social listening shows you a mentions chart. IntentHunter watches Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky, scores each conversation 0-100 by how close someone is to buying, says in one line why it matched, drafts a reply, and links you to the thread, so you act on the ones that count.

Brand monitoring that hands you the reply, not just the mention.
When your brand, category, or a competitor comes up on Reddit, Hacker News, or Bluesky, IntentHunter scores the thread 0-100, says in one line why it matched, drafts a reply, and links you to the source, so you answer the threads that matter instead of reading every ping.

Catch the customer support signals that never become a ticket.
Customers vent on Reddit, ask for help on Hacker News, and flag confusion on Bluesky long before they email you. IntentHunter surfaces those public support signals, scores each one 0-100 by urgency, adds sentiment and a one-line reason it matched, and links you to the source, so you reach the thread while you can still fix it.
