Discovery, honestly

Find clients without scraping anyone.

Most “lead generation” tools sell you a list someone scraped. That list is stale, legally radioactive, and a big reason cold email has a bad name.

Orty's Discovery Brief goes the other way. It hands you where to look, copy-paste search queries, and a scoring checklist — places, not people. You do the finding; Orty does the scoring and the drafting.

What a Discovery Brief contains

  • Where to look — six to eight specific surfaces for your discipline: subreddits, job and gig boards, communities, directories, hashtags, YouTube/X/LinkedIn search, and local sources.
  • Search queries — ten copy-paste strings grouped by platform, with real operators where they help — no names, no scraped results.
  • Scoring checklist — six quick yes/no checks tuned to budget potential and real need for your work, so you can pre-filter before scoring.
  • A 15-minute routine — a short, repeatable loop that turns those sources into scored prospects in your Log.

Why no scraping — on purpose

Scraped lists break the moment a site changes, create legal and privacy exposure, and push you toward the mass-blasting that gets freelancers banned. Worse, they strip the one thing that makes outreach work: relevance. Orty deliberately keeps you in the loop, sourcing by hand from public search surfaces, and spends its AI on the part that's actually hard — judgment.

It also means Orty has nothing to sell you twice. There are no enrichment credits, no lead packs, and no per-contact fees.

From post to scored prospect in a minute

When you find something promising — a Reddit hiring post, a job listing, a LinkedIn or X profile, a company website, or a creator's profile — paste it into the Rate tab. Orty scores it on the same Budget / Need / Fit rubric and drafts a pitch, with a source selector so the model judges a job post differently from a bare profile.

Frequently asked questions

So does Orty find clients for me automatically?
No, and that's deliberate. It finds places and queries; you pick the prospects. This keeps you compliant and relevant, and avoids the scraped-list treadmill where every competitor has the same stale contacts.
Can I score a Reddit post or a job listing?
Yes. The Rate tab has a source selector — profile, Reddit/forum post, job/gig posting, LinkedIn/X, or website — and the scoring prompt adjusts: a job post is judged on scope, budget intent, and red flags; a profile on cadence and monetization.
Do I need a Groq key for the Discovery Brief?
Yes — the brief is generated by the Co-Pilot, which uses a free Groq key. The Rate tab (scoring + drafting) uses your free Gemini key. Both are free tiers with generous limits.
