Can anyone recommend a plumber in East Austin who can come today?
The ask happens where you are not looking. A neighborhood forum, a subreddit, a Telegram group. It is answered within the hour, by whoever saw it.
Ambient lead intelligence
Hear your next customer asking.
Every day, people ask Reddit, LinkedIn, Telegram groups and local forums for exactly what you sell. Bountee finds those questions within minutes, drafts the first helpful answer in your voice, and books the meeting. Nothing is posted until you approve it.

Is there anything that answers the phone when I'm on a job? Lost three jobs last week because I couldn't pick up.

Bountee drafted it · checked against the subreddit's rules
Been there. What fixed it for most crews I know: send missed calls to a line that texts the caller back within a minute, so they wait for you instead of ringing the next plumber. Happy to share how we set ours up, no pitch.

The problem
Your buyers stopped filling in forms. They ask strangers.
Before anyone books a demo or calls a plumber, they ask people like them. The question is public, it is specific, and the first helpful answer usually wins. Most businesses never see it.
Anyone moved off Mixpanel? Our bill doubled and we're 6 people.
Watching everywhere is a full-time job. Keyword alerts fire on every mention, so you read two hundred to find two buyers, and give up by Friday.
Got DMed by three AI bots after I posted this. Blocked all of them.
And the shortcut backfires. Auto-posting tools get accounts banned and brands remembered for the wrong reason. Communities reward people who help.
How it works
From your website to a booked meeting.
You type one address. Bountee does the listening, the sorting and the drafting. You do the part only you can: decide what goes out under your name.
Bountee reads your business
Your pages, and what buyers say about your category in public. It tells you what you sell, who buys it, what hurts them and who you compete with. Fix anything wrong in one place.
It picks the places
The communities your buyers ask in, ranked, each with the reason and the questions a week to expect. Chosen by who your buyer is: a plumber never gets GitHub.
It listens and scores
Every post is scored against 185 buying signals on seven dimensions, and every score says why. You see the few worth answering, not the thousands that mention a keyword.
You approve, in one tap
A draft in your voice, checked against that community's rules, on your phone. Approve, edit or skip. It posts as you, from your own account.
It books the meeting
When they reply, Bountee carries the conversation, offers times from your calendar, books it and writes it to your CRM. Then it learns which places produced it.

Sorry, that's rough. If it's gas, check the pilot first; if it's leaking, shut the cold supply at the top. We can usually be in Mueller this afternoon. Here's a time if you want it.

Why Bountee
Not another alert feed. The first helpful answer.
Listening tools hand you noise. LinkedIn signal tools hand every customer the same signals. AI SDRs post on their own and get you banned. Bountee does the listening and the drafting, and leaves the judgement with you.

Places ranked by what converts
Every meeting teaches Bountee which communities produce revenue for businesses like yours. The ranking you get improves with every customer, not just with you.
Built around five minutes
Questions in public are answered fast. Bountee scores, drafts and puts the answer on your phone as the question appears, so you can be the first helpful reply.
Anonymous intent, resolved to the account
Someone vents about their vendor without naming their company. Bountee works out the account where it can, and you act where you already have a way in.
Answers that keep working
A useful public answer is what search engines and AI assistants quote to the next buyer who asks. Each reply you approve keeps bringing people back.
Trust
Helpful, never spammy. By design.
The communities your buyers trust are the reason this works. Bountee is built so you stay welcome in them.
You approve every word
Bountee drafts. Nothing is posted, sent or commented until you tap Approve.
Every community's rules, checked
Each draft is checked against the rules of the place it is for. When the check says no, the draft does not go out.
It posts as you
From your own accounts, under your own name. No fake accounts, no sock puppets, ever.
Companies, not people
Bountee tells you which company is asking. It does not build files on individuals.
LinkedIn stays yours
Nothing is sent on LinkedIn until you switch it on, and then only what you approve, within careful daily limits.
Your data, your call
Ask us to delete your workspace and everything in it, and it is gone.
Accountable
Three numbers, reported to you every week.
We run Bountee by the same three numbers we show you. If they slip, you see it before we tell you.

Questions
What people ask us first.
Will Bountee post anything without me?
No. Bountee drafts; you approve. Nothing is posted, sent or commented until you tap Approve, and it goes out as you, from your own account. In places you run yourself, like your own Telegram group, you can later let it answer simple questions on its own, one kind of answer at a time.
Will my Reddit account get banned?
Bans come from spam: the same pitch, everywhere, all at once. Bountee reads each community's rules, checks every draft against them before you see it, spaces your replies, and tells you when a community does not allow any self-promotion. It drafts one helpful answer at a time, and you approve each one.
What if my website does not explain what we do very well?
Most websites speak as the seller. Bountee also researches how buyers in your category describe their problems in public, and anticipates the ones your site never mentions, labelled so you can check them. If your site says very little, describe the business in a few sentences instead.
Which channels does it listen to?
Reddit, LinkedIn, X, Telegram, Discord, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, Stack Exchange, GitHub, local forums, Google reviews and Yelp. LinkedIn is on Pro and Team. Bountee proposes the places from who your buyer is: a plumber is never sent to GitHub.
How long does it take to set up?
Reading your site takes a minute or two. Choosing your places and connecting the accounts you post from takes a few more. The first questions worth answering usually show up the same day, depending on how much your buyers talk in public.
Does it work for a local business?
Yes. Local is where questions are the most urgent and the least watched. Bountee listens in your service area, answers your Google and Yelp reviews, and with the Voice Line add-on, picks up the calls you miss.
How is this different from a social listening tool?
A listening tool tells you that a word was mentioned. Bountee tells you who is ready to buy, why it thinks so, drafts the answer, and books the meeting when they reply. It also learns which places produce meetings, so you spend your time where buyers actually are.
Your turn
Someone asked for what you sell today. Hear it next time.
Type your website. In about two minutes Bountee shows you who buys from you, what they struggle with, and where they are asking right now.
