Lead Radar
Stop cold outreach. Start warm conversations.
Lead Radar scans 9 social platforms every morning for people actively asking for what you sell — then delivers the top 10 buying-intent leads straight to your Telegram, each with a pre-drafted reply ready to send.
How It Works
- You describe your offer — e.g. "I sell a CRM for freelance designers"
- Gemini 2.5 Flash generates smart keywords tailored to your niche
- 9 sources are scanned for posts matching those keywords (Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Stack Overflow, Quora, Hashnode, Dev.to, GitHub Discussions, and Lobsters)
- Each post is scored 0-10 for buying intent using AI — filtering out noise and keeping only real opportunities
- Top 10 leads are delivered to Telegram every morning at 8am, each with:
- The original post title and snippet
- A direct link to the conversation
- An intent score with explanation
- A pre-drafted reply you can copy-paste
What Gets Detected
Lead Radar finds posts like:
- "Looking for a tool that does X" — direct buying intent
- "How do you handle Y?" — pain point that your product solves
- "We switched from Z and need an alternative" — active comparison shopping
- "Any recommendations for...?" — open to suggestions
