problem-bot

A lead-hunter for builders selling AI / agent / browser-automation help.

It polls GitHub Issues across the repos where your buyers congregate (browser-use, playwright, camoufox, patchright, undetected-chromedriver, langchain, crewAI, apify, n8n, etc.), classifies each new "help wanted" thread with Claude, and posts the top-scored leads to a Discord webhook you control.

You don't host a public Discord bot. You just create a webhook in your own Discord, paste the URL in .env, and the bot delivers ranked leads to you.

What it scores

For each open issue (last 24h by default), Claude assigns 0–1 scores on:

• budget_signal — does the OP have money? Company email, "willing to pay", "bounty", production language, mention of revenue, etc.
• agent_relevant — is this an agent / browser-automation / scraping / antibot problem someone with that skillset could solve for cash?
• specificity — is the blocker concrete (specific site, specific error) or vague ("how do I start scraping")?
• archetype — hobbyist | engineer_funded_saas | solo_founder | agency | unknown

A composite score = budget_signal * 0.5 + agent_relevant * 0.3 + specificity * 0.2. Anything above --threshold (default 0.55) ships to your Discord with a one-line rationale.

Run it

pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env  # fill in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GITHUB_TOKEN, DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL
python -m problem_bot.main

Cron-friendly: every run scans recent issues, dedupes against state.json, and posts only new leads. Drop in a cron / Task Scheduler / GitHub Action.

Config

Repos to watch live in config.yaml. Add or remove freely — the buyers move.

Status

v0. Single source (GitHub Issues). Reddit + Discord-channel scanning planned for v1 (after this lands one paying customer).
