Up and running in about 10 minutes
No installer, no IT, no password to create. A first-run checklist walks you through each step.
Install the extension
A Chrome extension in your own browser, using your own Whatnot session. Nothing else to install, no credentials to hand over. Paste your license key and go.
Collect
Point it at streams in your category — it opens tabs and watches — or turn on manual discovery to capture your own show. It records bids, sales, and buyers as they happen.
Act
The dashboard ranks who to contact and why. Bulk follow, mass DM with automatic dedup, chat mentions — all rate-limited, paced like a human, all from one click on an Action List.
See the bot in action
Recreations of the real dashboard, animated. Sample buyers and numbers are illustrative.
Every losing bidder, named — with the dollar amount they were willing to spend. When you list the next comparable item, this is your invite list.
From “these 30 people bid and lost” to “they each have a DM from me” — one click, human-paced. Campaigns skip anyone who already got the message.
AI hype in your own stream chat — it reacts to a new item, a big bid, a lull. Preview mode shows every message before it ever posts. It keeps energy in the room while you run the auction.
Your whole buyer pool, scored and ranked — whale, frequent, by type — and the dollar value of the opportunities already sitting in your account.
A whole workflow, not a dashboard to stare at
Capture, understand, and act — every bullet is a shipped feature the demo can show.

The real objections
Is this against Whatnot’s rules? Will my account get flagged?+
BidAlpha runs inside your own Chrome, on your own logged-in session — no shared credentials, no server farm impersonating you, and nothing scraped that you couldn’t see yourself with the tabs open. Every automated action is rate-limited and paced like a human — roughly one DM every ~25 seconds, with jitter, daily caps, and an automatic stop if Whatnot ever throttles. No automation is risk-free and we won’t claim otherwise; this is the most conservative way to build it, and it’s how we run our own accounts.
Where does my buyer data go? Can other sellers see it?+
Your data lives in your own tenant. No other seller can see your buyers, your sales, or your lists, and we don’t pool or resell your data.
How long does setup take?+
About 10 minutes: load the extension, paste your license key, log in to the dashboard with the same key. A first-run checklist walks you through each step. No installer, no IT, no password to create.
What happens when Whatnot changes their site?+
Tools like this break when the platform changes — anyone who says otherwise is selling you something. We run BidAlpha against live streams daily, so breakage hits us first; we ship a fix and send you the updated extension. (When Whatnot relocated its inbox, we caught it because our own DMs stopped.)
Will it DM people who already got my message?+
Bulk-action DM campaigns dedup automatically against your send history — buyers who already received that message are skipped — and there’s a blocklist for anyone you never want contacted.
Is HypeChat going to say something that embarrasses me?+
HypeChat is safety-filtered — it never states prices, authenticity, grading, shipping, or refunds. It only builds energy. And it has a Preview mode: see every message it would send before it ever posts one.
I sell sports cards / TCG / vintage, not coins. Does this work for me?+
Yes. BidAlpha is category-agnostic — it captures bids and buyers in whatever streams you point it at. Our earliest users are coin sellers, so that’s where our pattern library is deepest today.
Run it on your next two shows
Then read your own ROI summary — your buyers, your missed bidders, and the dollar value already sitting in your account. If that number isn’t a multiple of the subscription, cancel it.
