You find what you search for, on the day you happen to search. Tenders and permits sit public for weeks before anyone on your team types the right words.
Found three weeks too late.Why Modou
The best opportunities go to whoever hears about them first.
Most teams hear about the perfect project when the shortlist is already closed. Here's how teams find new business today, and why Modou hears about it first.

Find projects while there is still time to act
Modou monitors public and connected sources for tenders and projects that match a company's work. It organises the key facts, explains the possible fit, identifies relevant people where evidence is available and prepares a next step for review.
Find funding calls that fit real work
Modou looks for public funding calls and grants that align with a company's projects, region and priorities. It summarises eligibility, deadlines and missing information, then prepares the next research or application step.
See the relationships your team already has
Modou connects permitted CRM, email, calendar, meeting and document context to show how people, companies and opportunities relate. It can surface a warm path or relevant history without exposing another customer's data.
Act when a company gives you a reason to pay attention
Modou watches permitted market and company sources for events that may indicate a timely sales opportunity, such as a relevant project, role change or renewed activity. It explains the evidence and prepares research or outreach for review.
The old way
How teams find opportunities today.
Four ways most teams hear about new business, and why each one hears about it late.
Referrals and word of mouth
The best channel there is, when it happens. You can't plan for it, and your next big project won't wait for a friendly phone call.
You can't schedule luck.Tender newsletters
Everyone on the list gets the same tenders at the same time. Nothing in there knows what you build, what you've already won, or which ones actually fit you.
Same list as your competitors.Expensive prospecting tools
Databases full of companies, not of moments. You still do the digging, and by the time a company shows up in a list, everyone else can see it too.
You pay to hear late.Real opportunities, real output
The opportunities you almost missed.
Before and after, side by side. These are illustrative examples of what Modou finds and writes, built to show you exactly what lands in your feed.
New projects announced every week, found when it's already too late.
Tenders and building plans get published constantly: municipal sites, trade press, permit registers. Nobody on your team has time to check them all. You hear about the perfect project when the shortlist is already closed.

What sets Modou apart
It builds a brain from watching you work.
A newsletter sends everyone the same list. Modou learns which opportunities you chase and which you skip, and every approval and correction becomes a rule it follows next time. Week by week, your finds look less like a list and more like your pipeline.
Claude doesn't have this. Dust indexes your docs, not your behaviour. OpenClaw doesn't learn which opportunities are worth your time.
This is the company brain. It's visible, editable, and gets more accurate every week.

Suggested question from your data
“Which event brought us the most new opportunities this quarter?”
Fair question
But can't I just ask ChatGPT?
You could, and for plenty of questions you should. Here's an honest look at Claude, ChatGPT and the rest: brilliant at answering, and none of them go looking for you.
Claude / ChatGPT
Ask a question. Get an answer.
A chat window. Brilliant, but it only answers what you ask.
- No access to your live business data
- Never watches for new opportunities, only answers questions
- No memory between sessions
- It would have answered brilliantly at 07:14, if you had been awake to ask.
A brilliant thinking partner. It never looks for you.
Dust.ai
Ask your company knowledge base.
A searchable layer over what you already know, not what's out there.
- Reads your past docs and threads, nothing outside your company
- You still have to design and build each assistant
- Answers questions, never goes looking for new business
- €29/user/month, expensive for small teams
A smart knowledge base. It looks back, not ahead.
OpenClaw
Run your own AI agent. Locally.
A developer toolkit for building your own agents from scratch.
- Requires technical setup (self-hosted, your own API keys)
- You build every workflow yourself, it discovers nothing on its own
- No idea what a good opportunity looks like for your business
- Not designed for multi-tool business operations
Brilliant for developers. It won't go find you business.
