Inspiration
I am student and want to do freelancing, but the major problem for me was finding clients. It takes to much time and effort to find client according to your skill and what you know. And when checked for similar lead finding tools they were paid so I decided to built my own.
What it does
It searches and scrapes the internet and sites like reddit, X, linkedin and instagram to find the potential client and works for which they are willing to pay and send me there info on my telegram bot for free .
How we built it
It is an intelligent, dual-approach client acquisition and lead generation system powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash and controlled entirely from your smartphone via Telegram. Lead Gen eliminates two major bottlenecks in freelance business development: Account Ban Risk: Zero Instagram or LinkedIn credentials required—uses 100% unauthenticated safe public search and delivering 1-Tap Co-Pilot cards. Cold Pitch Burnout: Continuously scans freelance communities (Reddit, GitHub Issues) for businesses actively hiring and ready to pay for Web Development and Repetitive Task Automation, extracting their disclosed budget, generating tailored proposals, and linking directly to the client's post.
Challenges we ran into
When I made it fully autonomous to automatically send message to client on instagram after 8 message my account got suspended for a day. So I fixed it by making hybrid pipeline where i will send message on my own using telegram bot 1 tap feature.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Lead Gen is completely free to anyone to download and to use it for free without paying for any money. It find clients according to your said skill or work you want to do.
- It can check and find clients specifically in any country if you want to.
What we learned.
I learned to never make it fully autonomous since it can flag your accont for agentic bot work. Also learned to use internet scrapping tools.
What's next for Lead Gen
I will like to add google map feature in future to find client in your area so you visit them if they want. Also will add feature to directly send email to specific clients on their emails directly.
