Every AI tool helps you search. None of them ask: do you know what you're looking for?

The real bottleneck isn't information You're tracking a domain — AI coding tools, product opportunities, whatever. You check Hacker News, GitHub Trending, Reddit, arxiv, a dozen sources.

The real differentiator is the lens — who's looking, and what they're looking for. A watch intent that says "track AI coding tools" produces a very different report than one that says "I'm evaluating whether to enter this market. Focus on IDE-level products, track the technical architecture competition between Cursor/Windsurf/Copilot, known blind spot: I have no coverage on the demand side or academic fron
