SignalPipe is an agentic sales pipeline that monitors Reddit, Hacker News, and RSS feeds 24/7 for buying-intent signals. It uses AI to score each signal, draft a reply, and surface only real leads for human review and approval before anything is sent.

How does SignalPipe detect buying intent?

SignalPipe uses a three-stage pipeline: a keyword gate for cheap pre-filtering, OpenAI text-embedding-3-small for semantic similarity scoring against your anchor sentences, and a three-model LLM swarm (Optimist, Analyst, Skeptic) that evaluates each post independently. A hard skeptic veto suppresses any signal the most skeptical judge dismisses.

Does SignalPipe send messages automatically?

No. Every message requires human approval before it is sent. SignalPipe drafts the reply and queues it for your review — you approve, edit, or reject each one. Nothing is sent without your explicit sign-off.

What platforms does SignalPipe monitor?

SignalPipe monitors Reddit (via subreddit RSS feeds), Hacker News (via hnrss.org keyword feeds), and any RSS-compatible feed. You can add as many sources as you want per product.

How is SignalPipe different from Clay or Apollo?

Clay enriches contact lists you already have. Apollo is a cold email database. SignalPipe generates net-new leads by detecting live buying signals — finding people who are actively posting that they need what you sell, right now, in public communities.

SignalPipe has four tiers: BYOK ($19/mo — bring your own LLM key, 3 products, 50 leads/day, 1,000 prospects), Starter ($49/mo — 2 products, 25 leads/day, 500 prospects), Growth ($149/mo — 10 products, 250 leads/day, 5,000 prospects), and Scale ($499/mo — unlimited everything). Open Source is free for self-hosters. The first 100 waitlist members get 50% off for 3 months.

Does SignalPipe work with NVIDIA NeMoClaw?

Yes — fully compatible out of the box. NeMoClaw is NVIDIA's enterprise distribution of OpenClaw, so any OpenClaw plugin installs and runs on NeMoClaw without modification. For on-prem deployments, SignalPipe also supports local model inference: set COMPANION_LLM_PROVIDER=openai_compatible and point it at a locally running Nemotron or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your leads, prospect data, and generated messages never leave your infrastructure.

Can I run SignalPipe fully on-premises?

Yes. Self-host the FastAPI backend on your own server, connect it to your own PostgreSQL database, and configure the companion message generation to use a local model via any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Nemotron via NeMoClaw, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM). The only external call that remains is the OpenAI embedding API for signal scoring — and that can be swapped for a local embedding model by request.

Indie Hackers

Lead Generation for Indie Hackers

You built the product. Now find the buyers. SignalPipe monitors Reddit and HN for people asking about your problem space — and drafts replies you can approve in seconds.

Why is lead generation hard for Indie Hackers?

Distribution is the hardest part of building a product as an indie hacker. You don't have a marketing budget, a sales team, or brand recognition. Cold email feels dirty and gets ignored. SEO takes months. But every day, people post on Reddit and HN with problems your product solves — and almost nobody responds to them.

How does SignalPipe help Indie Hackers?

SignalPipe turns community monitoring from a manual 2-hour daily habit into a 5-minute review queue. It monitors every configured community every 10 minutes, scores posts for genuine buying intent, and drafts a reply tailored to the post content. You see only the leads worth your time — with a reply already written.

What Indie Hackers use most

First-mover advantage

SignalPipe scans every 10 minutes. You reply to posts before they get old — the first response in a thread converts at 3–5× the rate of the second.

No cold outreach

You're replying to someone who posted publicly. They're inviting responses. That's not outreach — that's help.

OpenClaw native

SignalPipe runs as an OpenClaw plugin. Your AI agent manages the queue, drafts replies, and tracks follow-ups inside a single conversation.

Open source self-hostable

The plugin is MIT licensed and the backend can be self-hosted. Free tier for indie hackers who want full control.
