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.

What is OpenClaw Community Prospecting?

Community prospecting is the practice of monitoring online communities for prospects who are actively expressing a need for your product. Unlike cold outreach, you are responding to someone who has already raised their hand — in public, in their own words.

How SignalPipe adds Community Prospecting to OpenClaw

SignalPipe operationalizes community prospecting at scale inside OpenClaw. Configure the communities your buyers use, define what a buying signal looks like, and let the agent run. Every qualifying post arrives in your session with context, score, and a draft response already written.

How to set up Community Prospecting in OpenClaw

Map your buyer communities

List the subreddits, HN keyword feeds, and niche forums where your ICP is active. These become your station list in SignalPipe.

Write anchor sentences

Write 5-10 sentences from the buyer's perspective that describe their problem. "Looking for a tool that..." or "Struggling with..." style phrases work best.

Launch and let it run

After setup, SignalPipe monitors continuously. It typically takes 2-3 days to see the first batch of scored prospects from each community.

Respond genuinely

The AI-drafted replies reference what the prospect actually said. Review, personalize if needed, and send. You're helping someone who asked for it — not cold outreach.

Frequently asked questions

Is community prospecting effective for B2B sales?

Community posts convert at 5-15x the rate of cold email — the prospect has already described their problem and is actively seeking solutions. The challenge is finding these posts at scale. SignalPipe solves the scale problem.

Which communities have the best B2B buying signals?

r/SaaS, r/indiehackers, r/startups, r/entrepreneur, Hacker News Ask HN threads, and category-specific subreddits for your product vertical. SignalPipe can monitor all of them simultaneously.

How do I avoid looking spammy when responding to community posts?

SignalPipe drafts replies that reference the specific content of the post. The result is a reply that reads as genuine help, not advertising. You review every draft before it sends.

Can I use SignalPipe for community prospecting outside Reddit?

Yes. Any public RSS feed is a valid station — niche forums, industry newsletters, product hunt launches, and more. Hacker News is supported natively with keyword-based RSS feeds.
