What ThreadLens Is

ThreadLens helps builders find product opportunities by collecting public conversations and search results, scoring them for pain and relevance, filtering duplicates, and turning high-signal findings into product-angle reports.

Who it is for

ThreadLens is useful when you want to research a niche, validate repeated complaints, watch for recurring workarounds, or understand how people describe problems before you build or market a product.

What it scouts

Reddit posts from project-specific queries.
Bluesky posts from project-specific queries when Bluesky credentials are configured.
Google Search results through the configured search provider.

What it produces

Scored posts and search results.
Deduplicated findings with statuses for review.
Research reports that cluster pain themes and suggest product angles.
Google reports with summaries, opportunities, risks, and next actions.
Scheduled scout runs for recurring research workflows.

Open-core status

The open-core app can run today with Docker or local workspace commands. Hosted ThreadLens is planned as a later managed option for teams that do not want to self-host or manage provider keys. The license decision is still deferred, so the repository’s license file remains the authority for the current no-license-grant status.
