How it works

From a product URL to ranked, reply-ready conversations — in four steps.

1. You describe your product

Paste a product URL or a short description into the search box. If you give a URL, lookaround reads the page to understand what you sell and who it’s for.

2. lookaround derives a target

A language model turns your product into a search plan: the ideal customer, the communities worth watching, and the buyer-intent keywords that tend to appear when someone is looking for a solution like yours.

3. It searches eight platforms

lookaround searches public conversations across eight sources:

• Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Exchange, and GitHub — queried directly through their APIs.
• X (Twitter), Quora, LinkedIn, and Dev.to — reached via Apify, which searches them for matching public posts.

4. It ranks by intent and drafts replies

Every conversation is scored by how strongly it signals buying intent — a complaint about an alternative, a request for a recommendation, a comparison, or a direct question — and the strongest matches surface first. For those, lookaround drafts a suggested reply you can copy, edit, and post yourself; any other match can be drafted on demand. You can also export the full set as CSV or JSON.
