About Dowsr

Dowsr supplies market research data to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. You connect it to a compatible agent, describe your SaaS idea and audience, and the agent can pull evidence about customer problems and buying intent that ordinary web search often misses.

The data covers conversations and historical comments in which people describe their problems and workarounds, and buyer requests such as job posts, freelance missions and client requests, with budgets when listed. Findings keep source links, dates and research limits so each claim can be checked, and Dowsr is positioned as a complement to web search, not a replacement.

Dowsr is a hosted subscription service that works with any MCP-compatible client. It offers a 24-hour free trial that starts when you create an account, then $15 USD a month billed monthly. It suits indie founders and builders validating ideas.
