Catch discourse online.
discatch watches web, news, Hacker News, Discourse forums, Stack Overflow, and GitHub for your brand, your competitor, or your topic. Bluesky, Mastodon, YouTube, and Product Hunt are planned. When someone talks, it catches the post and delivers it to whoever asked. Usually that is an AI agent working for a person. This is not an AI-visibility tool. discatch delivers mentions to an agent, not mentions inside AI answers.

How it works
From your question to the answer in four steps.
- 1
Quote
A caller sends a query. The planner quotes a ceiling from the sources requested and the options set.
- 2
Waterfall
Providers are tried cheapest and most accurate first, fall through on misses or failures, and merge.
- 3
Rank
Results are deduplicated and ranked with a free prescore. Pass classify and discatch judges relevance, sentiment, and intent.
- 4
Deliver
A one-off search returns now. A catch re-runs on an interval, appends to your event log, and pushes only what is new.
discatch never posts on your behalf. It finds mentions and delivers them to you. How mention alerts work.
Sources
The places discatch watches for you. Anything not live yet is marked as planned.
Pay only for what you use
No subscription required. Before anything runs, discatch tells you the most it can cost, and you never pay more than that number. An optional plan bundles usage for standing searches at a lower rate. Free to start.
| Unit | Consumed when | From |
|---|---|---|
| search | a one-off search runs across the waterfall | $0.002 |
| capture | a page or post is fetched with content and thread context | $0.002 |
| result | a matched item is returned or delivered | $0.0005 |
| alert | a catch fires; its re-runs consume no search units | $0.001 |
| classify | discatch judges relevance, sentiment, or intent on a result | $0.001 to $0.005 |
Placeholder rates. The price you see when you make a request is the price you pay.
