Build SaaS that actually sells

EchoSift reads what teams still do by hand and verifies who pays, then answers every question with the receipts. Every night it reads developer issues, Stack Exchange sites by sector, vendor communities and public job boards, extracts one structured claim per document, groups claims into opportunities by task and market, and rescores every opportunity with four fixed rules. You ask in plain language in the Workbench, or from Claude Code, Cursor and Codex over MCP.

The most accurate market analyst on the internet

EchoSift reads the discussions, counts the organizations and links every quote, on the questions founders actually ask before building. Compared with asking ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, or with Reddit-mining tools:

Linked. Every answer cites the source: quotes link to the original thread. Chat models cite partly, Reddit tools link threads.
Counted. Organizations, not upvotes: breadth is the number of distinct organizations describing a task. No other option counts organizations.
Nightly. The whole corpus is read and rescored every night. Chat models answer from training data.
In-agent. The same analyst inside Claude Code, Cursor and Codex through MCP.

Reads all night. Answers in one line.

Ingestion: collecting around the clock. Developer issues, Stack Exchange, vendor communities and job boards, read, classified and grouped by task while you sleep. 103 configured sources, 18 Stack Exchange sites with historical backfill, Discourse communities armed after admin consent, Greenhouse and Ashby boards of tool-buying companies.
Ease: easy to use by design. One question, one answer with the receipts. No filters to learn, no dashboards to build. Results come back as a table of tasks with organization counts and a Verified, Hiring or Candidate stage; from there: open the brief, follow the market, export CSV.
Agents: works with the agents you already use. The EchoSift MCP server exposes the same opportunities and evidence to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client, so the market check happens where the code gets written. Add it with claude mcp add --transport http echosift https://mcp.echosift.io/mcp.

Built for the people who decide what to build

Indie founders validating the next B2B idea: ask whether a task is worth building before writing code, and get the organizations, quotes and budget signals behind the answer.
Agent-native builders on Claude Code, Cursor, Codex: the market check runs inside the coding session, through MCP, with the same evidence the Workbench shows.
Seed-stage teams building dev tools and AI tools: choose the second feature from adjacent tasks people already pay for, and defend the roadmap with receipts.
Automation builders on n8n, Zapier and Make: see what teams still glue together by hand, and where the failures actually happen.
Vertical SaaS builders for finance, IT, sales and e-commerce ops: read the vendor communities and job boards of the companies that buy tools, one market at a time.
Studios and agencies scoping products for clients: turn what a client asks for into a brief in the customer's own words, exported as the spec.

EchoSift reads the market. You make the call.

Find. Ask what a market still does by hand. Real tasks come back ranked, with the organizations behind each one.
Validate. Open the brief: four rules, the quotes, the links, the budget signals. Verified means three of four pass.
Analyze. Compare tasks, see who pays and which tools they complain about, export the brief as the spec.
Track. Follow a market. One message on Telegram when hiring or spend moves, a digest every week.

One plan. Agent included.

Included: unlimited questions to the analyst, verified opportunities with quotes and links, organizations counted with hiring and spend signals, brief export in CSV and Markdown, the MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, follows with a weekly digest and Telegram alerts, every market rescored every night, cancel anytime from the billing portal.

Questions, answered

How is this different from asking ChatGPT for ideas?: ChatGPT guesses. We read: every result comes from a real quote, checked against the original document, and grouped by task and market. Every result links back to where it came from.
How is this different from Reddit-mining tools like Octolens or GummySearch?: Those surface loud threads. We count distinct organizations, not upvotes, apply four rules to every result the same way, and rescore nightly, so a single viral post never outranks a real market.
What do you read, exactly?: Public discussions where operations people and paying customers talk: vendor communities on Discourse, Stack Exchange sites by sector, developer issues, and public job boards of companies that buy tools. Over 45,000 documents read so far, and counting. Every claim we extract carries the original words and a link back to the source.
What does "verified" mean?: Each opportunity is checked on four criteria by construction: breadth, three or more distinct organizations; budget, a hiring or spend claim; solution inadequate, done by hand or with a tool people complain about; and trend, three or more claims in the last 90 days. Verified means three of the four pass. No opinion, no LLM verdict, just claims counted.
Which markets are covered?: Finance and back-office, sales and marketing ops, e-commerce ops, IT and MSP, analytics and data, no-code and automation ops, and developer tools. If a market has no data yet, the analyst says "not covered" rather than guessing.
Can my coding agent use it?: Yes. The EchoSift MCP server exposes the same opportunities and evidence to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client, so your agent can check the market in the same session where it writes your code.
How do you handle privacy?: We track market pain, not people. Author handles are pseudonymized at ingestion and the original is never written to disk. We quote the claim, never the person.
What do I get for the price?: Unlimited questions to the analyst, verified opportunities with quotes and links, brief export in CSV or Markdown, full MCP access for your coding agent, and follows with a weekly digest and Telegram alerts. One plan, $39 per month or $390 per year, no free trial. See pricing.
