Version 2 · the selling desk for chipmakers
Who needs your chip, why now, and where.
Pick your chip, or the all-in-one box you build around it. SiliconMatch finds the builders, factories, hospitals, utilities and fleets that need it, shows the evidence behind every score, tells you what just changed at each account, maps their sites, forecasts which markets are heating up, and lets you rehearse the pitch before you send it.
The 2:02 tour, narrated by Ellen: the demand map with real sites, a dossier with its research papers and a “why now”, markets heating up, who builds on whom, the practice room, a spoken command and the morning brief. Recorded in the live app as a public visitor sees it.
The problem
Finding companies that could use your silicon is only the start. A seller also needs to know which of them are moving now, where they operate, which markets are growing, who builds on whom, and whether the pitch will land. Today that work is scattered across news, tenders, job boards, public statistics and gut feel.
Why this account, why now?
A funding round, a new line, a tender or a hardware hire is the moment to call. Most tools miss it, or cannot show the source.
Where is the demand?
Plants, hospitals and factories are where boxes get installed. Markets rise and fall; sellers need to see both.
Will the pitch land?
Every buyer objects differently. Rehearsing against realistic objections, before the first email, saves weeks.
The desk
Everything from version 1 (find, score with cited evidence, flag competitors, people, sequences, lists) plus eight new surfaces.
Demand map
Prospects placed only where their own sources state a city, countries shaded by count, and 1,357 real sites they operate (power plants, hospitals, factories) from public registries.
Dossier + why now
One page per company: fit per offer, SEC filing passages, research papers, its own pages, official lists, news and a timeline. New signals add a capped, cited “why now”.
Trends + forecasts
Eleven public monthly series (FAA drone declarations, federal contract money, EU tenders, EU production) with forecasts shown only where they beat a simple baseline, and a “heating up” ranking with the moves behind it.
Who builds on whom
A knowledge graph where every link quotes its source: who uses NVIDIA modules, which integrators reach hospitals, who speaks OPC UA. Names merely listed together are kept apart as peers.
Practice room
Rehearse a pitch, A/B two messages, or play out a rival's price cut against buyers and competitors built from real dossiers. Every result is labelled a hypothesis, to be checked against real replies.
Morning brief + voice
A 60–90 second brief each morning, read aloud: what changed, five accounts to call and why. Every number is checked against the facts listed under it. Say or type a command (“agricultural drone makers in Brazil”) and the app goes there.
Signals + inbox
News, funding, expansions, hardware job posts and public tenders, matched to companies only when they are named. Watch a company or a whole segment; new items land in your inbox.
Tools for agents
The same actions are available as MCP tools, so an AI assistant can search, read dossiers, ask the graph and save to your lists.
Refreshed nightly
News, job boards, tenders, papers, the graph and each seller's brief are rebuilt every night from public sources.
The data behind it
As of 21 October 2026. Every company has a verified website and at least one piece of evidence; every fact below links back to where it came from.
Signals
1,034 dated company signals for 226 prospects, including tenders and contract awards for 65 and hardware job posts for 19.
Filings + papers
SEC filing passages for 43 public companies; recent research papers for 16 so far (more are added each night).
Markets
11 monthly series back to January 2022; 8 forecasts that beat a same-month-last-year baseline in backtests.
The product
Public sources flow into one evidence store; the desk reads from it, and the AI only writes what the code can check against it.
Features: requirement vs. status
What is built and verified today, and what is still open. We keep this table honest.
| Requirement | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Find, score with cited evidence, competitors flagged, people, sequences, lists (v1) | Built ✓ | see version 1 |
| Company dossier with SEC filings and a printable brief | Built ✓ | filing passages for 43 public companies |
| Research papers per company | Partial | OpenAlex papers for 16 companies so far, added nightly within the free daily allowance. US patents are not included: the patent office's API now requires identity verification |
| Demand map and the sites prospects operate | Built ✓ | 814 power plants, 393 hospitals, 150 factories, each linked and licensed |
| Signals, “why now” and watchlists with an inbox | Built ✓ | fit moves at most +5 and always cites the signal; e-mail digests are not sent |
| Hardware job posts and public tenders | Built ✓ | verified job boards; EU and US tenders and awards about technology only |
| New FAA / Blue UAS entries as signals | Not yet | the lists are in the evidence; “new this week” alerts are not built |
| Market series, forecasts with ranges, “heating up” | Built ✓ | a forecast is shown only if its backtest beats a simple baseline; 8 of 11 shown |
| Knowledge graph and path questions | Partial | every link cites a source; explicit supply links are still few (9 “uses”), and Blue UAS component-to-drone links are not drawn because the lists do not state them |
| Voice commands and MCP tools | Built ✓ | 10 of 10 recorded test commands reach the right screen |
| Morning brief read aloud | Built ✓ | every number checked against the listed facts |
| Practice room (market simulation) | Built ✓ | results are hypotheses; not yet calibrated against real replies |
| Blind human review of the ranking | In progress | AI review passes done (motor-control chips 8 in 10 good); the human pass is pending |

How we handle data
Evidence, not guesses
Every fit reason, graph link, brief sentence and simulated objection points to a fact you can open. The AI writes; the code checks the citations, the numbers and the names.
People data, carefully
Contacts come only from a licensed provider. In the public demo, names and e-mail addresses are masked, new contact searches are off, and AI use has a daily cap.
Hypotheses are labelled
Forecasts show their range and their backtest; simulations say “hypothesis” and stay uncalibrated until real replies exist.
Places are stated, not invented
A company is pinned only where its own sources name a city; otherwise it is counted for its country. Sites come from public registries, matched to the owner by name rules.
Roadmap
Next
The narrated v2 film. The human review of the ranking. Papers for every company with public research.
Then
New-entry alerts from official lists. More explicit supply links in the graph. Apollo contacts and CRM push in production.
Later
Calibrate the practice room against real replies. A capability profile builders can claim and correct.
Try it: demo sign-ins
The live demo runs in two lanes: on our own Mac (chipapp.wntap.org) and on a Hetzner cloud server (siliconmatchapp.dkube.app). Both companies below are fictional. In the public demo, real people's names and e-mails are masked, new contact searches and web discovery are off, and AI use has a daily cap.
| Persona | PIN | Role | What you can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| VoltEdge Silicon (fictional) | 1111 | Seller of motor-control chips | Search and score, dossiers, map, trends, graph, practice room, voice, the morning brief, masked contacts, your own lists and watchlists |
| NeuroBox Systems (fictional) | 2222 | Seller of an edge-AI box | The same, for its own offer, lists and brief |
