Cover image for The journey started with pen
The journey started with pen and paper. I used the same kind of notebook that I use to keep a diary. I had only heard of REST APIs. A little. Like what they were... And slowly, over the next 6 months, I picked up the structural understanding and shipped a consumer intelligence platform. I am now building an MCP wrapper for Signalwatch. The right internship even pays $20 - $30 per hour. Previously, the highest I earned per hour was $2.2. It was not earning more dollars that got me on this path. It was a clique that probably played a prank and told me that a person from wher I come from should not handle queries from certain big clients. long story..., and a positive outcome. It is a lifetime journey now.

Shipped something small today. Signalwatch now has an MCP server wrapping the search pipeline, meaning you can use the platform inside any MCP-compatible LLMs P.S. Tested end-to-end with the MCP Inspector.

At first, building it and seeing how it works made me feel like I'm reinventing the wheel.

Cover image for What to do with consumer
What to do with consumer intelligence has no absolute answer, and I believe it shouldn't have. Businesses still fail even when they have all the intelligence at their disposal. Why? because they fail to identify blind spots or ask questions they should be asking. I built Signalwatch, a consumer intelligence platform that tells businesses what to pay attention to (blindspots they are not aware of) and what to do with brand mentions. It's connected to native platforms APIs, like news, forums, YouTube... It crawls brand mentions based on Boolean queries we run and then an intelligence agent loops until it has what the the brand needs to know. Signalwatch has an MCP server wrapping its search pipeline, meaning any MCP-compatible LLM client can call it as a tool. P.S. Try it ( https://signalwatch.in ) and tell me what blind spots it surfaces for your brand.
