Evidence-led discovery

Find something worth posting, joining or investigating.

Aboveboard brings current research, supported public conversations and rising source evidence into focused views for one account and campaign. Inspect why each item surfaced, then save it, research deeper or start an editable post or reply for review.

  • Cited source evidence stays linked
  • Rising never invents momentum
  • Human approval is required before publishing

One workspace, three ways to discover

Choose the job before you choose the idea.

Post ideas, Conversations and Rising answer different questions. Saved keeps deliberate picks from all three in one place.

01 01 · Post ideas

Find something worth posting

Turn current research and trusted sources into cited candidates for the selected account and campaign.

  • Configured sources and saved searches
  • Source-specific claims and citations
  • Optional deeper research brief
Find new ideas Deeper research is a metered action and follows workspace permissions.
02 02 · Conversations

Find a discussion worth joining

Search supported public threads, inspect activity and relevance, then prepare a useful reply rather than automated outreach.

  • Bluesky and Reddit search
  • Thread import with public context
  • Daily query watching when requested
Search conversations Other networks are not searchable in Ideas yet, and no reply sends automatically.
03 03 · Rising

Catch a useful signal while it is still useful

See fresh, relevant evidence ordered with corroboration and workspace novelty—without calling ordinary freshness momentum.

  • Freshness with an explicit time window
  • Independent-source corroboration
  • Novelty against your own published work
Scan Rising Momentum appears only when verified metric history supports it.

From a query to a dependable habit

Search now—or save a supported conversation query for daily checks.

A supported Bluesky or Reddit conversation query can become a daily check without turning discovery into an unbounded stream.

Watching follows provider limits and the saved freshness window; it cannot promise a new result on every check.
  1. 01

    Search

    Choose Bluesky or Reddit

    Run a focused query for the selected account and campaign, with broader terms available when the first window is too narrow.
  2. 02

    Watch

    Save a supported query for daily checks

    Watching rechecks the configured freshness window and preserves stable provider identities so repeated finds do not become duplicate threads.
  3. 03

    Review

    Return to the evidence, not another feed

    Best-available conversation finds remain inspectable while stronger evidence can become an action-ranked idea.

Public conversations, with honest scope

See what is active, what is merely recent and what still matters.

Conversation cards keep platform, author context, published age, replies, reactions and latest known activity together before a reply draft begins.

BlueskyReddit
Hot

Recent and active

Meets the workspace's configured age, reply and latest-activity thresholds.

Fresh

Recent, but quieter

Still inside the fresh window without enough measured activity for Hot.

Older

Kept visible when relevant

Older or unknown-date evidence stays available instead of being silently discarded.

01

Search widens visibly

If a narrow time window yields too little, Aboveboard names the wider window and keeps less-relevant results behind a clear disclosure.

02

Activity is measured, not implied

Reply momentum appears only after two real snapshots produce a positive rate; missing activity remains missing.

03

The next step stays contextual

Open the public source, inspect the evidence and draft a reply for human review when the thread is eligible.

Official platform reads · honest age · measured replies and reactions

Rising, without the trend theatre

Know why a signal moved up before you act on it.

Rising combines brand relevance with time-bounded freshness, independent-source corroboration and whether your workspace already covered a similar angle.

Cited articles, studies, news and fresh relevant conversations can all qualify. A social-video label describes format; it is not an admission gate.

Momentum changes the order only when verified platform metrics exist. Otherwise Aboveboard states that the ranking uses publication freshness and brand relevance.
Freshness

What is new now

A 72-hour prime window and 14-day secondary window keep age explicit.

01
Corroboration

More than one independent source

Separate domains can strengthen a signal without turning repetition into proof of an outcome.

02
Novelty

Not already covered by your workspace

Similar drafts and published posts lower the priority of a repeated angle.

03

The next action fits the evidence

One discovery workspace, three review-first handoffs.

The selected item determines the right editable starting point; a person still decides what is written, approved and sent.

Post idea → Composer

Start from the source-specific claim

Composer receives the selected account, linked campaign, the card's specific verdict and one visible source URL where available—not a pasted source passage.

Editable wording · movable citation · approval required
Conversation → Reply review

Move from evidence to a helpful response

The reply path stages Evidence, Draft and Approve so context remains inspectable and outreach never becomes automatic.

Evidence → Draft → Approve
Rising → Timely action

Post or reply while the signal is still relevant

A cited source can become a post about today; a qualifying conversation can become a reply draft. Both keep the same human-review boundary.

Contextual action · no automatic publishing

Ideas guides attention. It does not guarantee performance, establish causation or publish or send by itself.

Useful at different review desks

One evidence trail, shaped for the way your team works.

Permissions separate inspection, research, queue decisions and generation so collaboration does not blur who can act.

Creators

Find an original starting point

Move from a cited claim, question or signal into editable work without outsourcing the point of view.

Agencies

Keep every client in scope

Choose the correct account and campaign before research, ranking or handoff begins.

Marketing teams

Make discovery reviewable

Keep source, reason, state and next action clear enough for another person to inspect.

Ideas questions

Useful discovery should come with boundaries.

What are the views in Ideas?

Post ideas gathers current research and trusted-source evidence; Conversations shows searchable or imported Bluesky and Reddit threads; Rising prioritizes fresh, relevant evidence; Saved keeps deliberate picks from those three views.

Where do post ideas and Rising signals come from?

They come from configured sources, saved searches and captured public evidence for the selected account and campaign. Rising can include cited articles, studies, news and fresh relevant conversations; it is not limited to social-video sources.

Which conversations can Aboveboard search?

Conversation search currently supports Bluesky and Reddit through official access paths. You can search either network, import a thread or save a supported query for daily checks. Other networks are not searchable in Ideas yet.

How does Rising decide what appears first?

Rising considers brand relevance, freshness, independent-source corroboration and whether your workspace has covered a similar angle. Momentum affects the order only when verified metric history exists; otherwise Aboveboard states that it is using freshness and relevance.

What does Research deeper do, and does it use credits?

It builds a cited brief from trusted sources or all available sources, within the item limit you choose. A research run is metered at the current research-run rate listed on Pricing.

What happens when I turn an idea into a post or reply?

A post handoff seeds Composer with the source-specific verdict, selected account, linked campaign and one visible source URL where available; the writer can keep, move or remove that citation. A conversation opens an editable reply path. Publishing or sending always requires human review.
