FirstAsk
Leads from people who are already asking
FirstAsk finds buyers who have already asked for help in public. It discovers service requests and RFPs, uses AI to qualify the demand, checks that each opportunity is still open and matches it to your agency. Source evidence, budget, timing and a reply path give your team the context to start a relevant conversation.

{ why it exists }
A contact list is not a buying signal
An agency can spend hours finding prospects without knowing whether any of them need its services. The stronger signal is a business already asking for a partner. Those requests are scattered across forums, search results and procurement portals, and a promising post may already be closed by the time someone finds it.
- Cold contact lists with no evidence of an active need
- Buyer requests spread across disconnected public sources
- Expired opportunities and duplicate posts wasting research time
- Missing budget, deadline or a practical route to reply

What FirstAsk does
Finds demand already in the open
Discovers public requests for web development, apps, design, SEO, marketing, data, AI agents and automation instead of guessing who might be interested.
Brings RFPs into the same feed
Surfaces procurement opportunities alongside direct service requests, with the published budget and closing date where the source provides them.
Qualifies before it matches
A triage pass distinguishes real demand from noise. A second pass extracts the requirements, budget, timing and contact path, backed by the original request.
Checks the request is still open
Revisits the source before delivery so a lead is not just a saved post. Duplicate requests are merged and opportunities are checked for continued availability.
Matches your actual agency profile
Uses the services you sell, the markets you work in and your budget floor to find relevant opportunities, with an explanation of why each match belongs in your feed.
Gives you the evidence and the opener
Includes the source link, supporting quote, reply route and a suggested opening message. Your team decides whether to reach out and sends the reply itself.
How FirstAsk turns requests into opportunities
The pipeline starts with an explicit request, not an inferred audience. Collection, qualification, revalidation and matching preserve the evidence behind every lead, while outreach stays in human hands.
Discovery
Reads public demand across forums, procurement portals and search results, with source terms reviewed before a source is enabled.
- Public service requests
- RFPs & tenders
- Source attribution
- Duplicate merging
Qualification
Separates buying intent from discussion, then extracts the details needed to judge whether a request is worth pursuing.
- Intent classification
- Budget extraction
- Deadline extraction
- Evidence quotes
Revalidation
Fetches the request again to check that the source still exists and the opportunity remains open before it reaches the feed.
- Source rechecks
- Open-request checks
- Freshness validation
Matching & Reply
Connects a qualified request to your profile and gives your team the context to respond without sending anything on your behalf.
- Service & market fit
- Budget floor
- Match explanations
- Suggested openers

Write a relevant first reply
A source-backed brief and suggested opener give outreach a specific reason to exist.
