Introducing CatchIntent: AI-Powered Buyer Intent Detection for B2B Teams
We're building CatchIntent to help B2B teams discover high-intent leads from social conversations. Here's our vision, current progress, and how you can get early access.
Every day, thousands of potential customers are actively searching for solutions like yours on Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter, and other platforms. They’re asking questions like “What’s the best tool for X?” or “Can anyone recommend a solution for Y?” These are golden opportunities — people with genuine buying intent, ready to discover your product.
But here’s the problem: finding these conversations manually is nearly impossible. By the time you stumble upon a relevant post, it’s often days or weeks old, and the opportunity has passed.
That’s why we’re building CatchIntent.
What is CatchIntent?
CatchIntent is an AI-powered buyer intent detection platform that monitors social conversations across Reddit, HackerNews, Bluesky, and more. It uses advanced language models to identify posts and comments that show genuine buying intent — not just keyword matches, but real signals that someone is actively looking for a solution.
Think of it as having a team of researchers working 24/7, scanning millions of conversations and surfacing only the ones that matter to your business.
The Problem We’re Solving
Traditional social listening tools rely heavily on keyword matching. Search for “CRM” and you’ll get thousands of results — most of them irrelevant. People discussing CRM concepts, complaining about their existing tools, or just mentioning it in passing.
What you actually want are conversations where someone is:
- Actively seeking recommendations (“What CRM do you use for a small sales team?”)
- Comparing solutions (“Has anyone tried X vs Y for managing contacts?”)
- Expressing frustration with alternatives (“Our current tool doesn’t do X, looking for options”)
- Ready to make a decision (“Planning to switch from X, what should I consider?”)
CatchIntent’s AI understands context, sentiment, and intent. It can distinguish between someone casually mentioning a topic versus someone who’s ready to pull out their credit card.
How It Works
CatchIntent follows a simple but powerful workflow:
1. Create Listeners
You define what you’re looking for — your product category, target keywords, competitor names, and the platforms you want to monitor. Each “Listener” is a customized search configuration that runs continuously.
2. AI-Powered Filtering
Our system ingests thousands of posts across your selected platforms. Before any AI analysis, we apply smart pre-filtering to eliminate obvious noise — spam, off-topic content, and low-engagement posts.
3. Intent Analysis
The remaining posts go through our AI analysis pipeline. We classify the intent type (buying, comparing, researching, or complaining), score relevance to your product, and generate actionable insights.
4. Instant Alerts
When we find a high-intent signal, you get notified immediately via email, Slack, Discord, or Telegram. Each alert includes the original post, AI analysis, intent score, and suggested response timing.
What Makes CatchIntent Different
Context-Aware AI: We don’t just match keywords. Our AI understands the difference between “I love my CRM” and “I need a new CRM.”
Multi-Platform Coverage: Monitor Reddit, HackerNews, and Bluesky from a single dashboard. Twitter and LinkedIn support coming soon.
Signal Quality Over Quantity: We’d rather send you 5 qualified leads than 500 keyword matches. Every signal is verified by AI before it reaches you.
Real-Time Alerts: Social conversations move fast. We detect and alert you within minutes, so you can engage while the conversation is still active.
Built for B2B Teams: From quota management to team collaboration features, CatchIntent is designed for sales and marketing teams, not individual users.
