Lead discovery on X

Find buyers on X without drowning in noise

Most of X is noise, but “what do you use for…”, “anyone else frustrated with…”, and switching posts still surface real buyers. Needle searches recent X posts alongside Reddit and Hacker News and ranks every result by buying intent.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Search intent phrases, not hashtags

    Track how people describe pain (“looking for an alternative to…”) instead of chasing trends.

  2. Step 2

    Rank by intent, not virality

    A viral post rarely means demand. Buying and switching signals rank above engagement bait.

  3. Step 3

    Reply where you can help

    Open the thread on X and answer the question first. Needle finds and ranks the conversation; the reply is yours.
