Work · Finds people asking for help
The people asking,found for us.
A radar that reads Reddit and the Telegram groups we are in, and sends us only the people asking for something we build. It is how this studio finds its own work.
THE BUILD
Finds people asking for help · Since October 2026
Lead radar
It filters out bots, forwards, duplicates and posts without a real request, and lets Claude score what is left for fit and urgency. A match arrives in a private Telegram bot as a card with the message and the author, and the reply is written by hand.
- WHY IT EXISTS
- Small business owners rarely post "hiring". They complain about a tool, or ask how others handle something. Those posts are the work, and they are buried in thousands of messages a day.
- WHAT WE BUILT
- A listener that reads chats with our own account and never writes, a prefilter on keywords, length, bots, forwards, duplicates, blocked authors and serial posters, and a classifier that scores what is left from 0 to 10 with a one-line summary. Each card has buttons to open the message and the author, and to mark how it went.
- THE NUMBERS
- In one week of October the Telegram side read 176,199 messages, let 5,568 through the filter, scored 1,391 and sent two cards. In its week the Reddit side scored 1,643 posts and sent twelve, ten of which we marked good. Claude cost under fifty cents for both.
- WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
- It never messages anyone. The only thing it ever posts is a mention of an author without a username, in our own chat with the bot, so we can open their profile.
