Description
LeadSleuth functions as an AI-powered lead detective, meticulously scanning various public online communities to identify individuals actively expressing a need for products or services. It monitors platforms such as Hacker News, Bluesky, GitHub, and Dev.to, with additional sources under evaluation, to detect buying signals. Unlike traditional lead databases or keyword alerts, LeadSleuth focuses on explicit intent, pinpointing users who are asking for recommendations, complaining about competitors, or seeking solutions to specific problems.

The process begins with users describing their product and Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) in a single paragraph. LeadSleuth's AI then parses this information into structured criteria, including industries, roles, pain keywords, and competitors, which the user confirms. Following this setup, daily scans commence, reading posts where people are discussing alternatives or expressing dissatisfaction with existing solutions. Leads are then scored based on buying intent, and only those with a score of 60 or higher receive a full dossier, filtering out low-fit prospects.
Each dossier is designed to be concise and actionable, providing four key pieces of information: who the lead is (cross-platform identity with confidence tags), why now (the exact public post that triggered the lead, quoted with a link), how to get in (recommended communication channels and warm-path hints like shared communities or past employers), and what to say (drafts that quote the lead's own words). Every claim in a dossier is linked back to its public source, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
LeadSleuth is built for indie SaaS teams, emphasizing public data only, with no scraped emails or private databases. It explicitly states that it never sends messages on behalf of the user, instead providing drafts for personalized outreach. The platform offers a read-only REST API for accessing leads, dossiers, and ICPs, and also exposes its signal layer to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Pricing is free during the beta phase, with tiered plans (Starter, Growth, Scale) planned for after beta, offering varying numbers of daily dossiers and ICP profiles.
