You need someone. A customer for the app you just built. An engineer to join your team. A guest for your podcast.

Where do you start looking?

That's the problem I'm working on with ReacherX. You describe who you need, and it helps you find people on X/Twitter and LinkedIn, learn about them, and reach out.

I released v4 beta on June 29, 2026. It's the biggest change I've made to the product so far.

I started ReacherX while studying for my bachelor's degree in computer science (BSCS), working a part-time job, and freelancing as a designer and developer on Upwork. Until recently, I kept having to fit it around paid work. This June, I left my last company to work on ReacherX full time. I've written more about [those three years and why I opened the code](/blog/why-i-open-sourced-reacherx).

## Tell it what you're trying to do

You can start with a request like this:

> I'm building an app for freelance designers. Help me find designers who have talked about struggling to get feedback from clients.

ReacherX can help search for those people and explain why they might be relevant. You can open their profiles, read their posts, and decide who you'd like to talk to.

You're not limited to finding customers. There's support for [hiring](/blog/find-candidates), [investor research](/blog/find-investors), [partnerships](/blog/find-partners), and other reasons you might need to meet someone. The names and stages in your workspace change to suit what you're doing: a recruiting workspace tracks candidates from Sourced through Interviewing to Hired, while a partnership workspace tracks partners from Identified through Negotiating to Partnered.

## Work out what to say next

Finding a person is only part of it. You still have to answer: “Why would this person want to hear from me?”

ReacherX can help you prepare a plan for that person. With the default approval setting, you review the proposed messages and decide what to send. [Automatic sending is optional](/blog/what-reacherx-does-automatically). You can also [select several people and ask for a separate plan for each](/blog/create-plans-for-several-people).

Prefer to write yourself? Do that. Autocomplete can help finish a sentence. You can add an image or video, record a voice note in supported conversations, and read and reply to DMs inside the app.

Interactive demo: Follow a hiring workflow. Find a candidate and review the message before sending it.

## Who I'm building it for

I'm building ReacherX for people like me: someone working alone, or a small team that needs to meet the right people without spending all day learning sales software.

It is still a beta. Finding good matches takes work, and the results won't always be right. I'd rather you try one real task and tell me where it falls short than assume it can handle everything.

[Try ReacherX](/pricing), or [read the code](https://github.com/VecterAI/reacher-x) if you're curious about how it works. I've also written about [what I want to build next](/blog/where-reacherx-is-going).
