🎯 Our Mission
ASOF exists to democratize access to tech trend intelligence. We believe that spotting emerging opportunities shouldn't require a $50,000/year CB Insights subscription or insider VC networks. By tracking public signals across developer platforms, we give founders the same insights that the best investors have—in real-time, at a fraction of the cost.

How It Works
1. Continuous Data Collection
Our scrapers run every 30 minutes, collecting signals from all tracked platforms. Each scrape captures ~300 signals including titles, scores, comments, stars, and metadata.
2. Processing & Scoring
Raw signals are processed, deduplicated, and scored. We calculate momentum (growth rate), cross-validation (appearing on multiple platforms), and relevance scores.
3. AI Analysis
GPT-4o-mini and GPT-5.2 analyze top signals daily, extracting opportunities, risks, and actionable insights. The Alpha system generates falsifiable predictions with verification dates.
4. Real-Time Dashboard
All data flows into the ASOF dashboard where you can explore trending topics, exploding keywords, funding intelligence, and predictions—all updating in real-time.
Our Story
Why "ASOF"?
ASOF stands for "As Of"—a reference to point-in-time data. In databases and finance, "as of" queries return data at a specific moment. ASOF captures tech trends as of every 30 minutes, creating a time-travel capability for trend analysis. Want to know what was trending when your competitor launched? ASOF has that snapshot.
