It takes one button to open Commsfinder and view a neat, sorted list of all your followed artists available to commission.

Why Commsfinder flagged this artist
bio mentions commissionspinned post: openrecent postsdisplay name

Really simple detection.

An artist gets flagged when real signals line up: "open" in the bio, a pinned "slots available", recent posts about taking work. Commsfinder lists every signal it found, so a 96% means something and a "maybe" is easy to skip.

A *lot* of customization

Favorite the artists you love, blacklist false positives, use metatags and filters

Currently supports Bsky and FA with more to come soon-ish

As private as it can possibly be

Every scan runs on your device and the data stays there. Nothing is sent anywhere, ever.

(tech ceo)

No accounts, no cloud, no corpo slop. Everything runs locally in your browser.

The profile data it gathers, the scan results, the scoring: all of it stays on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is sold. Uninstall and every trace is gone.

Absolutely NO generative AI runs, ever.

Commsfinder is an open source passion project, AGPL licensed, built by someone tired of scrolling for hours every time a friend wanted art.

01

Discriminative, not generative.

The model reads a profile's text and answers one question: "Is this an artist, and are they open for commissions?"

It has no way to produce an image or any text beyond "yes" or "no", and it never will. It classifies and predicts; it does not generate. What's the difference?

02

An ethical application of AI with a reason to exist.

The classifier reads text the same way your phone's camera reads words off a page.

Its training data was gathered by hand by volunteers, and no artwork was used to build it. The model is free to use and available on Hugging Face below.

03

Want no model at all? You can turn it off.

No-AI mode drops the model entirely and falls back to the plain keyword and pattern matching that runs alongside it.

Accuracy is lower and false positives go up, but it runs faster and uses fewer resources. It's a work in progress, with regular updates over time.

Questions and answers

Yes, Commsfinder is completely free to use and will stay that way. At some point I might add a premium subscription or Patreon for extra features I can't provide for free, like Twitter integration, since those APIs cost a lot of money.

It gathers relevant text from a profile (bio, display name, pinned posts) and runs each through a small custom model that labels it Open, Closed, or Unsure alongside a confidence score. Those are weighted into one final score for the artist.

No. Nothing leaves your device. Uninstall the extension and all scan data and caching is deleted for good. There are no analytics, no telemetry, no remote calls, or "phoning home".

Please consider tossing me a few bucks via Ko-fi. At some point I might offer a Patreon for optional support or to fund paid API usage. (cough Twitter cough)

I have a lot of ideas for other sites to integrate into Commsfinder, so far: Mastodon, VGen, Sofurry, and some of the newer marketplaces that have popped up in the last few months. It's not only a lot of work, but for some platforms I'll need support directly from their developers. If you work with a platform and would like perspective buyers to support your artists, please contact me!
