Private beta

Ask your inbox who matters. Beacon reads your X DMs and your email, and answers with people, not threads.

Every conversation a person ever started with you, on either inbox, read and ranked, with the quote behind every call.

Built for inboxes with thousands of conversations, on either side. Under a hundred and you can just read them.

Two fields. Read-only. It never messages anyone for you.

Watch it separate the good ones.

Six people, two inboxes, two objectives, nothing to click.

Two inboxes, one list of people

Gmail
Everything, from the first message
Read-only, and years of it read in minutes.
Your X archive
Everything older than a month
You ask X for it, and it arrives in 1–3 days. Worth starting early.
X, connected
The last 30 days
Recent only, which is exactly why the archive matters.

A question is typed, hiring forward deployed, and two messages from the same inbox appear stacked: one sent on X in March 2024 asking to be told when this reader was hiring, scored 58 and marked Archive; one sent by email twenty months later from a new employer, scored 44 and marked Archive. The two collapse into one card: Sofia Reyes, both dates now under her name, and her score rising to 91, marked Revive. A ranked list resolves beneath her: Priya Raman, a platform engineer who has never held the title, at 74, Reply now; Ines Kovač, a technical account manager, at 68, Reply now; and Daniel Osei at 28, Decline, because nothing in his message was written for this reader. The question then changes to which investors wrote, and the list is replaced by two people: Callum Pryce at 88, marked Revive, from fourteen months ago, and Marcus Adeyemi, a founder who angel-invests, at 71, Reply now.

Sample data. The people, the roles and the scores are all invented.

Judgement

Both said they were a forward deployed engineer.

Same week, same claim. Search would rank them level.

Forward Deployed Engineer · via email

Hi, I am a forward deployed engineer with 8+ years shipping integrations for enterprise customers. I am actively exploring new opportunities and have attached my CV. Let me know if there is a fit!

What it noticed

  • Mentions nothing about you or your company
  • Would read the same sent to anyone
  • Leads with a CV and availability

Sofia Reyes @sofiarey

Forward Deployed Engineer · via X

Been reading your posts on the deploy pipeline. Running the scheduler in-process is the exact tradeoff we got wrong at a customer site, and it cost us a quarter. Ping me if you ever hire forward deployed. Only interested in remote, and I am not in a hurry.

What it noticed

  • Cites your actual work in detail
  • Makes a claim you could check
  • States a constraint, so has a position
Fit 91

Only one of them was writing to you.

Nothing gets pushed down without a quote from the message that did it.

Trust

Your inbox stays yours.

  • It never sends anything. You copy the draft and send it yourself.
  • Read-only. It cannot send, delete, or mark anything read.
  • Newsletters, receipts and alerts are dropped before the model reads them, and never stored.
  • No training on your messages. No pooling with anyone else.

One thing worth knowing

  • X shows about 30 days of DMs. Your archive reaches everything before that, and it arrives 1–3 days after you ask X for it.

Encrypted, and deleted on request.

Down the pipeline

More sources, read the same way.

It is also the one place Beacon would look past your own inbox, and only ever at what someone published under their own name, and only when they handed you the link themselves.

  • Next

    GitHub

    Reads the public repositories someone linked you to, and works out what they actually shipped.

  • Next

    LinkedIn

    Opens a search for them, for you to read yourself. Nothing fetched, nothing stored.

  • Later

    Outlook

    The same two inboxes, for the founders who do not run Gmail.

  • Later

    Calendar

    Whether a meeting actually happened, not just whether one was offered.
