Validate your startup ideas. Once you've found a post on a problem, reply your idea of the solution and our Chrome extension will do the rest on X.
Stop guessing what people want. Use Essayty a Chrome extension as your business idea validation assistant.
How the process works
From idea to data-driven decision — six simple steps.
You have a problem and a solution in mind.
Search on X to see if many people share the same problem.
Comment your solution on those posts.
Our Chrome extension automatically saves the post and your comments.
The extension tracks & analyses views, replies, and likes.
See the data and decide — launch the startup, or don't.
Most ideas feel great in your head.
But when you actually share them on X… nobody reacts. No likes. No comments. No signal. You're building in the dark.
Zero engagement
You post your idea, refresh the page, and see nothing. The silence tells you nothing useful.
Guessing games
Without data, you rely on gut feeling. That's how months of work end up solving a problem nobody has.
Wasted time
Founders lose weeks — sometimes months — building products the market never asked for.
Track real engagement before you write a single line of code.
X Validator plugs into your X activity and measures actual human reactions to your ideas.
What does this Chrome extension do?
- Automatically saves the post or reply if you clicked on the top of the post after hitting the reply and post button on X
- Creates statistics about your activity so you can see your like/view and comment/view ratio
- You can also save text comments so you can record human opinions about your idea
How to find the right place to post your idea
Before you track engagement, you need to be in the right conversations. Here's how to find them on X.
Search your keywords on X or on Talkwalker
Type the core problem your tool solves into X's search bar. Think like your target user — what would they complain about or ask for help with?
Switch to the "Latest" tab
Don't use the default "Top" feed. Switch to Latest to see real, recent posts — not algorithmically boosted content. This is where genuine signal lives.
Check views before you comment
Before replying to a post, look at its view count. A post with more views means your comment gets more eyeballs — choose your spots strategically.
Not every keyword will work — and that's fine
Some keywords are dead ends. Don't give up after one day. Spend several days testing different angles until you find a keyword that surfaces active, engaged conversations.
Pro tip
Treat keyword research like prospecting. The right keyword unlocks a whole community of people already talking about your problem. Once you find it, IdeaSignal can tell you which posts within that community are worth engaging with.
Stop guessing. Start building what works.
