Your competitors have european ai researchers in their X follower lists. These are people interested in your space - they followed a competing account because the topic matters to them. That is a signal you can act on, if you know who they are. But X gives you no way to see another account's followers intelligently - just a long list of profile photos and short bios with no filtering.
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 lets you track any public X account - including your competitors. We classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. When european ai researchers follow your competitor, they appear on your dashboard - classified and ready to act on. You see who is interested in your space and can get in front of them. This is not surveillance - every follow is public data. We just make sure you do not miss the ones that matter.
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.
Build a list of potential research collaborators
Export AI researcher followers to CSV or pull them into Clay via our API. Segment by research area, institution, or seniority. Build a pipeline for research partnerships, advisory roles, or conference panels.
Track researcher interest in your product
When multiple AI researchers follow your company account after a product launch, that is validation from the people who understand the technology best. Track which announcements resonate with the research community.

Discover researchers through lab accounts
Track the X accounts of top AI labs and research groups. See which researchers follow them. This gives you a map of who is active in the AI research community on X.
We'll find your competitors' handles!
Then you can just click to track their followers.
Enter your website URL and we'll give you your list of competitor social media accounts.

Catch The Good Ones: How it works
Six steps. From adding an account to a fully automated pipeline.
Add a tracked account
Add any public X account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a company. We start monitoring their followers immediately.
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.
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.
Explore your matches
Your dashboard shows only the people who match your criteria. Full profile, job title, personality traits, and the date they followed.
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.
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.
Is this you?
People who search for this typically fall into one of these categories.
AI startup founders hiring research teams
You are building an AI-first product and need researchers who can ship. The ones following you already believe in your vision. Identify them before your competitors do.
See how it works for youEnterprise companies building AI divisions
You are standing up an AI team inside a larger organisation. Finding researchers who follow your company account tells you who is already interested in what you are building.
See how it works for youRecruiters specialising in AI and ML roles
AI researchers are the hardest talent pool to source. Follower lists of top labs, AI companies, and prominent researchers are where they congregate on X. Track those accounts and find the researchers in them.
See how it works for youFrequently 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 track any competitor's X account?
Yes. Catch The Good Ones works with any public X account. You do not need to own or have access to the account - just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.
Will my competitor know I am tracking their followers?
No. We only access publicly available data. There is no notification sent to the account you are tracking. It is the same information anyone could see by scrolling through their follower list - we just classify and surface the ai researchers automatically.
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.
