Launching Monday — How does your team discover influencers today?

Hey PH community! We're launching Social Intel on Monday March 16th.

Quick context: Social Intel is an Instagram influencer search API built for AI agents. Instead of API keys or monthly subscriptions, agents pay $0.10 USDC per search request via the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 standard from Coinbase).

Before we launch, I'd love to understand: how does your team currently discover influencers?

• Manual browsing on Instagram?

• - Modash / Heepsy / Aspire (expensive monthly plans)?

• - Phyllo / Ayrshare for data APIs?

• - Something custom?

The reason we built this: most influencer databases charge $299-499/month for access. That's a lot if you only need occasional lookups, or if an AI agent is doing the searching autonomously.

Happy to answer questions or share early access before Monday. What's your current stack for influencer discovery?
