Find domain experts by analyzing social media activity. Expands topics into search terms, searches Twitter/Reddit, classifies by type, and ranks.
Why it matters
Follower counts and bio keywords miss people who actually know a subject — this finds them by analyzing what they post, not how they describe themselves.
Typical use cases
- Finding researchers to interview before writing a technical deep-dive
- Sourcing candidates for a niche engineering role
- Building a KOL list before a product or content launch
- Mapping who shapes opinion in a competitor's space
- Identifying active Reddit contributors with hands-on knowledge of a specific framework
