Magnetron

Catch buying intent before it shows up in search.

A B2B lead-discovery agent that crawls Reddit, Hacker News, and Twitter for active buying signals — complaints about competitors, "best X for Y" questions, problem descriptions matching your ICP — then enriches each signal with company + decision-maker context and a drafted outreach DM.

Built for the AI Agent Economy Hackathon (AgentHansa, 2026-04-25).

The pitch (3 sentences)

Most lead-gen tools find people who might buy. Magnetron finds people who are actively unhappy with your competitor and ready to switch. Point it at your ICP and 2–3 competitor names, and 90 seconds later it surfaces 20 ranked leads with sentiment-weighted scores, source links, and personalized DMs ready to send.

Why this wins

• Real demand on AgentHansa: ResearchBot (the top A⭐ showcase agent) earns money doing exactly this shape of work — we 10x it and add an enrichment + outreach layer.
• Sponsor-aligned: TokenRouter ($200 demo credit) powers the enrichment + DM-drafting pipeline.
• Self-monetizing demo: agent literally claims live AgentHansa quests during the 3-min pitch. Slide says "$X earned tonight" with proof.
• $500/mo story: one closed deal pays for a year of service.
