How is this different from Brandwatch, Sprout Social, or Meltwater?

Those are broad social listening platforms built for marketing and PR reporting. IntentHunter scores each public conversation by how close someone is to buying, says in one line why it matched, drafts a reply, and links you to the thread. The output is a conversation to show up in, not a mentions chart.

Can I export signals to my analytics or reporting tool?

Web inbox and email digest at launch. Email is the default, with Slack, Discord, and Telegram on plans that include alert channels. Check export and handoff workflows against the current plan before you buy.

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.

What's actually happening today

Mention dashboards are built for someone else's job

Enterprise listening suites track thousands of mentions a day for global PR teams. As a founder or a small team, a reporting dashboard is the wrong shape. You want a short list of conversations worth a reply, ranked by intent.

Broad tools skim the sources you live in

Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky are where your category actually argues about tools. General listening platforms optimize for breadth and treat those sources thinly. Source fit and scoring matter more to you than a wider net.

A mention without a score is just data

Knowing your category came up is half the value at best. The 0-100 score, the one-line reason it matched, and a drafted reply are what turn a raw mention into something you can act on the same morning.

What IntentHunter does for you

Scored by intent, not sentiment

IntentHunter scores for how close someone is to buying or switching, not positive-versus-negative polarity. A glowing tweet about your category and a finance lead asking which tool to pick do not arrive with the same weight.

Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky by default

Those three are on from the start. X (Twitter), Threads, LinkedIn, and YouTube are available on plans and configurations that include them.

A reply drafted, the source thread one click away

Every scored signal carries a drafted reply and a link to the original thread, so you read the context and post in your own voice. IntentHunter never posts, votes, or DMs for you.

Plan limits shown before checkout

Projects, keywords, sources, alert channels, seats, and credits are all visible before you pay, so you know what is included up front.

IntentHunter scans Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky

Triage by score and reply

Open the inbox, read the source and the drafted reply for the highest-scored threads, and decide where to show up. You post on the source platform yourself.
