Finding Conversations
Learn how ConvoHunter's AI identifies and surfaces the most relevant conversations for your business.
How Our AI Works
ConvoHunter uses advanced AI to go beyond simple keyword matching. Our system understands context, intent, and relevance to find conversations where your product can genuinely help.
Semantic Understanding
Our AI understands the meaning and intent behind conversations, not just keyword matches. For example, if someone asks “How do I track my brand mentions online?”, we'll identify it as relevant to social listening tools even without exact keywords.
Context Analysis
We analyze the full conversation context - the original post, all comments, and the overall discussion tone - to determine genuine relevance.
Relevance Analysis
Each conversation is analyzed for how well it matches your product and how likely engagement would be valuable. Highly relevant conversations are tagged as “Very Relevant” for easy identification.
What We Look For
Problem Discussions
People describing problems that your product solves
Tool Requests
“What tool should I use for X?” type questions
Competitor Mentions
Discussions about your competitors or alternative solutions
Industry Discussions
Conversations about your industry or use case
Platforms We Monitor
Across thousands of subreddits, focusing on those relevant to your product
Real-time conversations and trending discussions
Technical discussions and Show HN posts
Professional discussions and B2B conversations
Startup and product-focused communities
Understanding Your Results
Relevance Tags
Each conversation is automatically analyzed and tagged to help you prioritize:
- “Very Relevant” - Perfect matches for your product. These are your top priorities.
- “High Traffic” - Popular conversations with lots of engagement and visibility.
- “Asked Recommendation” - Someone is actively seeking product recommendations.
- “Wants Help” - Users looking for advice or solutions to problems.
Prioritization Tips
Focus first on conversations tagged as “Very Relevant” that are also recent (within 48 hours). Combine “Asked Recommendation” with “High Traffic” for maximum impact opportunities.
Optimizing Your Configuration for Better Results
The quality of conversations we find depends largely on how well you've configured your project. Here's how to tune each part for optimal results:
Project Description
Why it matters: This is the primary input our AI uses to understand what conversations are relevant to you.
✓ Good Example:
“ConvoHunter is an AI-powered social listening tool that helps SaaS founders find relevant conversations on Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms where they can authentically promote their product. We analyze discussions in real-time to identify people asking for solutions, mentioning competitors, or discussing problems our users' products solve.”
✗ Poor Example:
“A social media monitoring tool.”
Tips:
- • Be specific about what problems your product solves
- • Mention your main features and use cases
- • Include the industries or niches you serve
- • Describe who your ideal customers are
Target Audience
Why it matters: Helps us filter out conversations from people who aren't your customers.
✓ Good Example:
“B2B SaaS founders, indie hackers, and startup founders with small teams (1-10 people) who need to find customers through organic channels like Reddit and Twitter. Typically tech-savvy, bootstrapped or early-stage funded.”
✗ Poor Example:
“Everyone”
Tips:
- • Define company size, role, or industry
- • Mention their typical challenges or pain points
- • Include any demographic or psychographic details
- • Be specific – narrow is better than broad
Keywords (Optional but Helpful)
When to use: Add keywords when your product has specific industry terms, technical jargon, or competitor names that people commonly mention.
✓ Good Examples:
- • “social listening”, “brand monitoring”, “Reddit marketing”
- • Competitor names: “Brand24”, “Mention”, “Brandwatch”
- • Pain points: “find customers on Reddit”, “Reddit promotion strategy”
Tips:
- • Don't go overboard – 5-10 keywords is usually enough
- • Include both what people search for AND how they describe the problem
- • Add competitor names if you want to see those discussions
- • Include common misspellings if relevant
What to Avoid (Topics to Exclude)
Pro tip: Sometimes it's easier to tell us what NOT to find. This is especially helpful if your keywords have multiple meanings.
Examples:
- • If you sell “brand monitoring” software, exclude “personal brand” (different context)
- • If you target B2B, exclude student/homework discussions
- • Exclude specific subreddits that aren't relevant (like meme subreddits)
Remember: You can update your configuration at any time.
If you're not getting great results, refine your project description and target audience. Our AI learns from your feedback (marking posts as irrelevant), so results improve over time.
