Question 1

What is SignalPipe?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How does SignalPipe detect buying intent?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does SignalPipe send messages automatically?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What platforms does SignalPipe monitor?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How is SignalPipe different from Clay or Apollo?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What is the pricing?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Does SignalPipe work with NVIDIA NeMoClaw?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Can I run SignalPipe fully on-premises?

Accepted Answer

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.
