ScoutFox
A conversation-native intelligence scout for news firms and VC users who can't afford to find out late.
ScoutFox watches the open web for the things that move your work, sends a focused Daily Brief, and lets you continue the thread in WhatsApp, email, or the app. Not a database. Not an alert firehose. Not a generic chatbot. Decision support: what changed, why it matters to you, what to do next.
What it's for
A venture fund is racing competitors to a deal. A newsroom is racing competitors to a story. In both cases, timing is the edge — and the existing tools (Crunchbase, Google Alerts, RSS, "AI assistants") surface things after the moment has passed.
ScoutFox is built to be early. You describe what you care about; scouts continuously hunt, score against your priorities, and send the small number of signals worth your attention.
How it's different
- Personalized at the core. Every dispatch is scored against your brief — your thesis, your beats, your goals — not a generic ranking.
- Decision-support, not noise. Each dispatch is one thing: a hook, why it matters to you, primary sources, and the next step.
- Primary sources favored. Filings, the source itself, founder posts — over aggregator rehashes.
- Conversation-native. WhatsApp replies, email replies, and app threads update the same watch memory instead of becoming disconnected chats.
- Minimal dashboard. Your Interests list is the configuration home. The Wire remains available for live dispatches, but the product value should come to you through Daily Briefs and follow-up threads.

How it works
The loop: brief → interests → scouts → Daily Brief → reply → memory.
The Wire
The secondary live feed for dispatches.
Shape your brief
ScoutFox is one product. Your brief's vertical setting shapes what scouts look for and what shape the dispatch takes — not a separate dashboard.
