The right post is out there. By tonight it's buried.

Every day people ask in public for a tool, a freelancer, an alternative or an answer. Hundreds of new posts land on top of them within hours, and nobody who could help ever sees them.

Questions before you try it.

The fastest answer is usually to add one keyword and run a scan. It takes about a minute.

Create a free account

Anyone looking for people who need what they have, or who have what they need. Founders find customers, freelancers find clients, and anyone can find gigs, jobs or answers.

Searching means checking every site by hand, one query at a time. Sparrow watches all three sources for your keywords, has AI read each new post, and ranks them by how relevant each post is, so you only open the ones worth answering.

Reddit, Hacker News and Bluesky. Each keyword can listen on one, two or all three.

No. Sparrow only reads public posts, so there's nothing to connect or log into. When you find a post worth answering, you reply from your own account.

The words someone would actually write when they need you, like “looking for a CRM” or “recommend a logo designer”. Short, specific phrases beat single words. Start with three to five and pause the ones that bring noise.

Yes, add the name as a keyword and you'll see new posts that mention it. Complaints about a competitor are flagged as their own type, and they're often the best leads you'll get.

Right away. Press scan and new posts usually arrive within a minute. After that Sparrow checks again every 6 hours on its own, and can email you the best new leads if you turn that on.

It's a 1 to 10 rating of how relevant the post is, with a one-line reason. It's AI, so it can misread sarcasm or a vague post. Use it to decide what to open first, not as a final verdict.

Yes. Write a keyword in any language and Sparrow finds posts using those words. The AI reads and scores them too, and writes its short explanation in English.

Never. It drafts a reply you can edit and copy, and you post it yourself. Sparrow only reads public posts, and you can export everything it saved for you from settings.
