About FirstAsk AI
FirstAsk looks for businesses that have publicly asked for a web, app, design, SEO, advertising or marketing partner on social platforms and tender portals. It verifies that each request is still open, qualifies it with AI and sends it with the stated budget, the deadline, the contact path and a suggested opener, matched to your agency, within hours of posting.
The feed covers new project requests and RFPs every week, starting with demand from the US, UK, Canada and Australia, across web, app, design, SEO, ads and AI agent work. Sources are watched around the clock, and the example cards show requests such as a store migration or a public-sector paid search tender with location and budget range. The idea is demand rather than prospecting. A free plan needs no card, and you upgrade only when the feed fits your market.
