crowd.dev
· #498 most-usedCommunity intelligence that turns DevRel signals into action
crowd.dev is an open-source developer community analytics platform that aggregates member activity across GitHub, Discord, Slack, and more into a unified engagement graph. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create or update member profiles, log activities from any source, fire automations when high-value contributors appear, and sync community signals directly into your CRM — all without leaving your other tools.
Eliminates manual work. Agents replace the time spent pulling engagement reports, tagging members across tools, and routing community leads to sales — work that previously required logging into crowd.dev, exporting CSVs, and pasting data into HubSpot or Sheets.
What your crowd.dev agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
crowd.dev × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
New member → welcome sequence in 60 seconds
The moment a developer joins your community on GitHub, Discord, or any connected channel, crowd.dev fires a New Member event and your agent springs into action — a personalised welcome email lands in their inbox, their profile is enriched in crowd.dev, a Slack alert goes to your DevRel team, and a follow-up check-in lands on the Google Calendar before they've finished reading your README.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
