Streaming Radar on ChatGPT

What this is

Streaming Radar publishes deep-dive intelligence on the streaming and media industry. Five silos. Four thousand sourced datapoints. Sixty-plus newsletter editions. Two flagship reports running active updates.

This ChatGPT App is the doorway. It exposes what is already public — newsletter articles, structural coverage queries, sample charts — and a direct asynchronous dialogue with the analyst. It paywalls numerical datapoints, full briefs, the complete library of branded report figures, and custom missions.

The model is borrowed from CB Insights : the App is in the directory for discoverability, the conversion path is human, not funnel-driven. Subscribe when you know.

How to install

1. From the OpenAI Apps directory

Open ChatGPT → Settings → Apps → search Streaming Radar. Approve the OAuth flow. The App connects with the email of your ChatGPT account ; that email becomes your identifier across the dialogue.

2. Free tier — instant

The OAuth handshake creates a Streaming Radar identity tied to your email. No credit card. You immediately get the nine free tools listed below. No trial timer, no countdown, no pressure to upgrade.

3. Paid tier — €299 / month

Pay via the in-App subscribe tool, or directly at buy.stripe.com/streaming-radar-mcp. Stripe Checkout pre-fills your OAuth email so the entitlement attaches automatically. The eight paid tools unlock immediately after the webhook fires (typically a few seconds).

The 17 tools

Free tools (9)

All free tools are permanently available, with no time limit. Sample chart watermarks and article summaries are intentional — the App is a doorway to the full corpus, not a replacement.

about_streaming_radar

Coverage summary across the five silos, live counts of datapoints and articles, pricing.

coverage_check

For a country or company, returns how many datapoints we have, which categories, last update year. Counts and structure only — never numerical values.

search_articles

Full-text search across the Streaming Radar Substack newsletter (61+ articles, EN/FR). Returns titles, subtitles, editorial angles, Substack URLs.

get_article

Fetch one article's metadata + Substack URL. Full text lives on Substack — click through to read.

ask_question

Ask the analyst directly. The system classifies your question : covered (an article answers — instant article-backed reply), novel (in-scope, no article — captured for personal email reply), out_of_scope (outside the five silos — captured for arbitration).

get_my_answers

Retrieve the analyst's previous personal replies to your questions.

list_sample_charts

Browse 15 public sample charts curated from already-published Streaming Radar figures. Five on streaming Africa, five on vertical drama, five on the global streaming landscape.

Returns a Stripe Checkout link pre-filled with your OAuth email plus a Cal.com booking link if you'd rather book a call first.

Paid tools (8)

Available as soon as your subscription is active. Calling a paid tool from the free tier returns a subscribe-required response with the Stripe link pre-filled — no error, no friction.

The asynchronous dialogue — how it actually works

When you call ask_question with a free-text question (English or French), the App performs three steps :

Classify. A Haiku classifier reads your question and the candidate articles already in the corpus. It tags the question as covered, novel, or out_of_scope.
Reply or capture. Covered → instant article-backed reply with summary excerpt and Substack URL. Novel or out-of-scope → captured in hub.user_questions with status pending.
Notify Ludovic. Paid users and high-signal Hunter flags get an immediate email alert. Free users land in the daily digest at 7:27 Paris.

Ludovic answers personally, from Claude Desktop or Claude.ai using the admin_answer_question MCP tool. The reply is inserted into hub.user_answers, sent by email via Resend, and becomes retrievable next time you call get_my_answers from the App.

Quotas — and what happens beyond

The free tier allows 5 captured questions per month. The paid tier allows 15. Article-backed replies (covered) don't count against the quota — they take no human time.

Beyond the quota, the App returns a single polite message with two paths :

Email ludovic@streaming-radar.com directly with your scope.
Or book a call at bostral.com/call.

At that volume, the conversation has crossed from product into mission. The pricing of a custom mission is quoted ad-hoc — typically a few thousand euros for a written deliverable, more for a complete research engagement.

Privacy and data handling

The App uses your ChatGPT account email as a stable identifier. No other personal data is collected from you. Your questions are stored in hub.user_questions with the email and the question text, used solely to route the personal reply and to inform editorial coverage decisions.

Data is held on Cloudflare Workers and Supabase Postgres in the EU. Retention is the lifetime of your active subscription plus 12 months for archival of the dialogue thread (so you can refer back to past replies). You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing ludovic@streaming-radar.com — under GDPR I have one month to comply.

OAuth scope is minimal : the App only sees your email and the OAuth token, never your ChatGPT conversations or other apps. No tracking pixels. No cookies. Browser local storage isn't used.

Full privacy policy : /privacy. Terms : /terms.

For developers — the MCP layer underneath

The App is one of three surfaces exposed by the open-source streaming-radar-mcp Cloudflare Worker :

Endpoint	Audience	Tools	Auth
`POST /`	Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, mcp-remote, Codex	99+ tools	OAuth 2.1 + sl_live_ Bearer
`POST /chatgpt`	ChatGPT Custom Connector (Deep Research)	`search`, `fetch`	sl_live_ Bearer
`POST /apps`	ChatGPT App (this page)	9 free + 8 paid	OAuth 2.1

The base URL is https://mcp.streaming-lens.com. JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol, MCP spec 2024-11-05.

Source code, migrations, tests, and the full development plan live in the GitHub repository (the MCP worker is open ; the editorial corpus and analytical models are not).

Voice — what you'll see in the App

Three lines, no variants, no A/B testing :

« Cet angle est traité dans cet article. Pour les chiffres exacts et l'historique, l'abonnement est à 299€/mois. Sinon prends ton temps, reviens quand tu veux. »

« Question reçue. Je te réponds personnellement par email. Si tu préfères l'accès self-service, 299€/mois. Pas d'urgence. »

« Cet endpoint est réservé aux abonnés. 299€/mois, accès immédiat. »

No fake urgency. No countdown timer. No "limited time offer". Streaming Radar is an analyst who lets himself be found. Subscribe when you know.
