GoldMine AI (goldmineai.io) platform help — an AI "idea-to-customer" validation platform for B2B founders whose edge is surfacing real, contactable leads, not just a score. AI agents run market research (demand scores, TAM/SAM/SOM, up to 15 competitors), validate the problem on Reddit with evidence-backed next-steps, generate an ICP plus matched professionals with contact info from B2B databases, continuously monitor Reddit (Twitter coming soon) to qualify people voicing your problem as leads, and generate launch assets. Credit-based, NO free tier; UI-only — NO public API/webhooks/Zapier/MCP. Use when running a B2B idea through GoldMine AI, reading its demand score or competitor/ICP output, using its Reddit-sourced leads, or asking about credits or an API. Scores are AI estimates and a surfaced lead is interest, not demand. NOT GoldMine CRM (goldmine.com). Do NOT use for the validate-before-building method or comparing validators (use /sales-idea-validation), or cold-emailing the leads (use /sales-cadence).

GoldMine AI (goldmineai.io) is an AI "idea-to-customer" validation platform for B2B
founders. You describe a B2B idea once and its AI agents run deep market research (market-demand
scores, TAM/SAM/SOM, trend analysis, up to 15 competitor profiles in under ~30 minutes),
validate the problem on Reddit (evidence-backed recommendation: proceed to market research, talk
to users, or refine the idea), generate your ideal customer profile (ICP) and surface real
professionals who match — with contact info from B2B databases, continuously monitor Reddit
(Twitter "coming soon") to qualify people voicing your problem as leads, and generate launch
assets (landing pages, ad copy, surveys). Its distinctive job in the validator market: it doesn't
stop at a score — it hands you a contactable pipeline so you "know your market is real and have
people to sell to before writing a line of code."
This is goldmineai.io — NOT "GoldMine" the legacy B2B CRM (goldmine.com). The CRM's REST API and
Zapier docs are a different product; do not apply them here.
Step 1 — Gather context
Ask only what you need to answer well:
What's the goal? Interpreting a demand score / competitor list, using the ICP + surfaced leads,
understanding credits/pricing, or wiring GoldMine into a workflow (API question).
What stage are they at? Pre-idea (validating), or validated-and-now-selling (working the leads).
Is it a B2B idea? GoldMine is explicitly built for B2B ("will businesses pay?"). A B2C or
consumer idea is outside its ICP/lead-database sweet spot — say so and route the method to
/sales-idea-validation.
Automation need? If they want to export/automate, note up front there's no public API (see
Step 3) and steer to the realistic paths.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
"Is my idea validated because GoldMine says so / found me leads?" → answer here, then hand the
go/no-go to a real-behavior test via /sales-idea-validation (the surfaced leads are interest, not
demand).
Comparing GoldMine vs other validators (WorthBuild, IdeaProof, Validator AI…) → /sales-idea-validation.
→ keep the outreach personal and
compliant; sequence with and make it land with .
Actually reaching out to the surfaced Reddit posters / ICP leads
/sales-cadence
/sales-deliverability
Ongoing Reddit/community lead monitoring as a channel (beyond validation) → /sales-social-listening.
Building the smoke-test landing page the real demand test runs on → /sales-funnel.
Otherwise answer directly from Step 3 / the platform reference.
Step 3 — GoldMine AI platform reference
For the full module list, pricing, data shapes, and automation reality, read
references/platform-guide.md. The essentials:
Every module is UI-only. No public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make/n8n, no MCP server were found
in research. Data flow is out only, manual (read the report in the browser, copy the ICP/leads).
Powered by multiple models (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) running as agents.
Pricing: credit-based, NO free tier (GoldMine cites the compute cost of AI agents); unused
credits never expire; cancel anytime. Exact tier/credit numbers were not public at research —
confirm on the live pricing page.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Treat the demand score and every market number as an AI estimate, not demand. A high score or a
fat TAM is a hypothesis; keep the structured outputs (competitor map, positioning, ICP) to sharpen
the pitch and take the go/no-go from a real behavior test (waitlist signup, "buy" click, pre-sale).
Route that test to /sales-idea-validation and /sales-funnel.
Vet the surfaced leads before contacting — they are interest, not customers. A Reddit poster or a
B2B-database "match" voiced or fits a problem; that is not willingness to pay. Hand-filter (drop
bots, off-topic threads, stale posts, wrong-fit companies), then personalize every message and
respect the platform's norms — do not blast the ICP list. Sequence with /sales-cadence,
deliverability via /sales-deliverability.
Feed it a sharp, specific B2B problem statement. The precision of the Reddit scan and ICP match
tracks how specific the input is (concrete buyer + concrete pain), not a vague one-liner.
Mind data/outreach compliance on the contact info. Emailing scraped B2B contacts triggers
GDPR/CAN-SPAM obligations (lawful basis, opt-out, identification) — treat the list as cold data to
qualify, not a permission to spam.
There's no API, webhooks, Zapier/Make, or MCP — plan the handoff as manual. GoldMine AI is
UI-only; the only export is copy-from-the-browser. If they need the signal in a pipeline, don't wait
on a GoldMine endpoint; reconstruct the underlying Reddit demand signal yourself (see
references/platform-guide.md, Recipe 2) and store/score it.
When asked GoldMine vs WorthBuild (or another validator), name the split before routing. GoldMine
is B2B-only, credit-based with no free tier, agentic, and a continuous Reddit lead monitor that
also surfaces ICP-matched professionals with contact info from B2B databases; WorthBuild is
cheaper, one-time, has a free monthly validation, and scans Reddit/HN/X posters but isn't
B2B-focused. State that distinction, then route the full head-to-head and the validate-first method to
/sales-idea-validation.
B2C ideas are off-target. GoldMine's ICP databases and framing are B2B; for a consumer idea, use
the tool-agnostic method in /sales-idea-validation instead.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07). GoldMine AI is a young, JS-rendered indie tool with thin
third-party coverage — verify pricing, credit costs, the free-tier claim, and the lead data sources
against the live site before relying on specifics.
Name collision. "GoldMine" is also a decades-old B2B CRM (goldmine.com) with its own REST API and
Zapier integration. goldmineai.io is unrelated — don't cite the CRM's API here.
No free tier. Unlike WorthBuild (free monthly validation) or Validator AI (free core), GoldMine is
paid-only/credit-based from the first run. Budget accordingly.
A surfaced lead is not demand. Both the Reddit posters and the ICP-matched professionals are
interest / fit, not proof anyone will pay — the "while you sleep" framing is lead discovery, not
qualified pipeline.
AI validators hallucinate with confidence. The demand score can rationalize a weak idea; two
validators disagree on the same input. Cross-check with a second source and a real test.
"No competitors" is usually a red flag, not a moat. If GoldMine returns an empty competitor set,
suspect no market or a bad search before celebrating.
Twitter/X monitoring is marked "coming soon." Today the live-lead monitoring is Reddit-centric —
don't assume full multi-channel coverage.

/sales-idea-validation — The tool-agnostic validate-before-building method and how GoldMine AI
compares to other validators (WorthBuild, IdeaProof, Validator AI, DimeADozen…). The go/no-go belongs
here, on real behavior — GoldMine's score is a directional input.
/sales-worthbuild — The closest sibling: a cheaper, one-time AI validator that also surfaces "first
customers" from Reddit/HN/X (with a free monthly validation), but not B2B-specific and not a
continuous lead monitor.
/sales-social-listening — If ongoing Reddit/community lead monitoring is the real job (beyond a
one-time validation), the strategy + dedicated tools (Reddinbox, PainOnSocial, Trend Seeker…) live here.
/sales-cadence — Sequence outreach to the surfaced Reddit posters / ICP leads (personalized, not blasted).
/sales-deliverability — Make that outreach land in the inbox.
/sales-funnel — Build the smoke-test / fake-door landing page the real demand test runs on.
/sales-do — Not sure which skill to use? The router matches any sales objective to the right skill.

Examples
Example 1: "GoldMine gave my idea a high demand score and found 40 leads — am I validated?"
User says: "GoldMine AI scored the market strong and surfaced 40 people with my problem. Good to build?"
Skill does: Reframes the score as a directional AI estimate (not demand) and the 40 leads as
interest, not willingness-to-pay; keeps the competitor map and ICP for pitch-sharpening, then
prescribes the real test — a smoke-test landing page with a pre-set ≥5%-join threshold and a pre-sale —
routing the build to /sales-funnel and the method/threshold to /sales-idea-validation, and the lead
outreach (vetted + personalized) to /sales-cadence.
Result: The founder earns a go/no-go from stranger behavior instead of betting on a score.
Example 2: "Should I use GoldMine or WorthBuild to validate my B2B SaaS idea?"
User says: "Both surface customers from Reddit — which one for a B2B idea?"
Skill does: Explains the split — GoldMine is B2B-specific, credit-based/no free tier, agentic,
with continuous Reddit lead monitoring + ICP-matched professionals (contact info) from B2B databases +
launch-asset generation; WorthBuild is cheaper, one-time, has a free monthly validation, and scans
Reddit/HN/X posters but isn't B2B-focused or a live monitor. Routes the head-to-head and the
validate-first method to /sales-idea-validation.
Result: The user picks on fit (B2B + ongoing leads vs cheap one-shot) and validates with a real test.
Example 3: "Can I pull GoldMine's leads into my CRM automatically via an API? (developer/automation)"
User says: "I want the ICP leads to flow into HubSpot on a schedule."
Skill does: States plainly there's no public GoldMine AI API, webhooks, Zapier, or MCP (and that
the "GoldMine API" search hits are the unrelated CRM); the only export is manual from the browser. For a
real pipeline, points to references/platform-guide.md Recipe 2 — reconstruct the Reddit demand signal
yourself via the Reddit API and score/store it — then push to the CRM; warns that scraped B2B contacts
carry GDPR/CAN-SPAM obligations.
Result: The developer stops hunting for a nonexistent endpoint and builds the signal from source.
Troubleshooting
"GoldMine says my idea is great / found leads, but should I believe it?"
The demand score and market numbers are AI estimates, and the surfaced people are interest, not
demand. Keep the structured outputs (competitors, ICP, positioning) and run a real behavior test —
waitlist, "buy" click, or pre-sale — before committing. See /sales-idea-validation.
"The surfaced leads / ICP matches look thin, off-target, or not B2B."
Two causes: (1) a vague idea statement — re-run with a specific buyer + concrete pain; (2) a B2C
or fuzzy-market idea — GoldMine's lead databases and framing are B2B, so consumer ideas return weak
matches. Hand-filter what remains (drop bots/stale/wrong-fit) and personalize outreach; don't blast.
"How do I export or automate GoldMine's report and leads?"
There is no public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP — the "GoldMine API/Zapier" results you
find are the unrelated GoldMine CRM. Export is manual (copy from the browser). For an automated
pipeline, reconstruct the Reddit signal in code (Reddit API) per references/platform-guide.md Recipe 2
and store/score it yourself — and mind GDPR/CAN-SPAM on any scraped contact data.
