Scout

Viewfy finds the thread.
You hit post.

Somebody is asking, right now, for the thing you built. Scout reads your site, learns who buys, and goes looking for that question in the open. Viewfy drafts the answer and puts it in front of you. You decide whether it ships.

He watches the places buyers still ask out loud. The draft waits. You post.

What he does all day

01 · once, at the start

Reads the site, writes his brief.

Who buys, what they are trying to get done, what you are allowed to claim, who you lose deals to. Every draft after this pulls from it, which is why his replies sound like your product and not like a template.

02

Finds the question.

He watches Reddit, DEV, Hacker News and X for the buying questions in that brief. Not brand mentions, which arrive too late. The question a stranger types when they are still choosing.

03

Judges before he writes.

Most hits are noise. He drops the thread if the asker is not your buyer, if the answer is already there, or if the account he would post from is in no shape to post at all.

04

Drafts the answer, then stops.

The reply answers the question first and mentions you only if you belong in it. Then it sits in your queue, in Chrome, on Telegram, or in whatever LLM client you connected over MCP. Approve, edit, or reject.

The ask is live.
The post is not.

He answers the question first and mentions you only if you belong in it. Then he stops. Approval is the product.

What's a good CRM I can host myself? Tired of paying per seat.

How is this different from cold outreach?

Cold outreach blasts strangers with a pitch nobody asked for, from a persona nobody agreed to. Scout only answers a question someone already posted in the open, he signs as you, and the draft waits for your approval. That is a different job and it earns a different reception.

Nobody is invented.

He signs as you, or as your brand. No fabricated humans, no borrowed headshots, no second name to keep straight.

He shows up with something.

An audit of the asker’s real site, a post that answers the question, a link worth following. The artifact is why the reply survives moderation and gets upvotes instead of reports.

There is a written list of refusals.

The publish blocker is public. Read what he will not write before you trust him with your name.

Questions

Does he post without me?

No. Approval is the product. Every draft waits, and every action he takes is a row you can read back later.

What if my account is too new?

Then he tells you so instead of burning it. The standing check is free and needs no account of ours.

How do I approve on the move?

Telegram, the Chrome extension, or any client that speaks MCP. Same queue behind all three.

How do you put him on your product?

Paste your URL and he reads the site, writes his brief, and starts finding the threads where your buyers are asking. You approve, he posts, you ship.
