Pick any X account. We'll find the european ai researchers.

Every public X account has ai researchers hiding in its follower list.

Think about the X accounts that matter in your world. The companies, the thought leaders, the media outlets, the conference accounts. Each one has a follower list, and buried in those lists are european ai researchers. The problem is that X only lets you scroll through a long list of profile photos and short bios with no way to intelligently filter for the people you are looking for.

AI researchers are among the most sought-after people in tech. They publish the papers that become products, build the models that reshape industries, and move between top labs, startups, and universities. For recruiters, AI startup founders, and enterprise companies building AI divisions, identifying which AI researchers are following a given account is a direct talent signal in the most competitive hiring market in a generation.

Catch The Good Ones fixes that. Add any public X account and we classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. The european ai researchers surface to the top, classified and ready to act on. It works for any account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a conference, a media outlet. If an account has followers, we can find the european ai researchers among them.

From London to Berlin to Paris, Europe has a thriving ecosystem, and the key people in it are active on X.

Recruit AI talent who already know your brand

An AI researcher who follows you is already interested in what you are doing. That is the warmest possible recruiting signal. Send a DM about an open role or research opportunity - they are far more likely to respond than to a cold LinkedIn InMail.

We smart-compose a personalised DM so you can send it in one click.

Direct Message

Hi Sarah - I noticed you followed me recently. I saw you led the Series A at Horizon. We are building in a similar space...
Hey! Yes, been following your progress. Would love to chat - free Thursday?

Catch The Good Ones: How it works

Six steps. From adding an account to a fully automated pipeline.

1

Add a tracked account

Add any public X account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a company. We start monitoring their followers immediately.

2

Define your search

Describe who you are looking for in plain English. "Investors with 10K+ followers" or "Female tech founders in fintech". Our AI maps it to filters.

3

Run a sync

Syncs run automatically on your schedule (up to 4x/day on Pro). Every new follower is classified by job role, personality, skills, and more.

4

Explore your matches

Your dashboard shows only the people who match your criteria. Full profile, job title, personality traits, and the date they followed.

5

Export and act

Download upload-ready CSVs for tools like Apollo, Hunter, and Snov.io. DM people directly on X. Or connect via our API and Zapier.

6

Automate it

Schedule regular syncs and let the workflow run for you. Set up automated actions via Zapier or our API. Choose your notification preferences so you never miss a match.

Frequently asked questions

How does Catch The Good Ones identify AI researchers?

We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Researchers are identified by signals like academic affiliations, research publications, technical terminology, and professional positioning - but you define exactly what matters to you in plain English.

Can I distinguish between academic researchers and industry ML engineers?

Yes. You define the filters. Describe "AI researchers at universities" to find academics, or "ML engineers at startups" to find industry practitioners. The customisable filters let you make whatever distinction matters to your use case.

Does this work for researchers who post in languages other than English?

Our AI classification primarily analyses English-language signals. Researchers who post in English or have English bios will be classified effectively. Profiles with exclusively non-English content may have lower classification accuracy.

Can I really track any public X account?

Yes. Any public account. You do not need to own it, manage it, or have any relationship with it. Just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.

How many accounts can I track?

As many as you want. Each tracked account is billed separately based on the tier you choose (Starter, Growth, or Pro), so you can start with one and expand as you see results.

Which European countries are covered?

All of them. If a profile lists any European location or organisation, they are classified as European. The most common signals come from the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Nordics, and Spain, but any European country is captured.
