NeedTrail

Demo access URL: https://35-210-126-141.sslip.io Username: siarhei Password: MetaHackathon2026 NeedTrail helps founders find potential first customers and understand why each company may fit their product. A founder enters a product name, website or short description, answers only necessary questions and chooses the countries to search. The Meta-powered agent plans bounded research, searches public sources, reads company pages and assesses candidates against the product brief. Results include source links, supporting excerpts, available company contact routes and explicit unknowns. Founders can review each company, rate its usefulness and pause or continue their research. The product distinguishes workflow fit from an expression of buying interest; it sends no outreach automatically. Our first pilot uses OkayField, a tool for field reports and photo documentation, to research flat-roof inspection and maintenance contractors in Germany and Poland. The demo shows a real local search in Germany, company evidence and the agent's recorded decisions. Synthetic replay is available separately for repeatable testing. Search quality and time savings have not yet been established by a full evaluation study, and no buying interest is claimed. The application uses React/TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and LangGraph. Server-side controls enforce research budgets and usage limits, preserve progress and keep API keys out of the browser. Before the October 26 kickoff, only preparation documents and repository scaffolding existed. The application, agent and tests were built during the hackathon.
