Hey Product Hunt – I’m Zachary!
The raw ingredients for wildfire intelligence are already in place. NASA publishes satellite thermal data every hour. NOAA provides weather and imagery. Public datasets map fuel, terrain, structure, and population exposure. But very little is consistently connecting them all.
There is no system that looks at a cluster of heat signatures at 4 a.m. and asks: Is this an agricultural burn or is this going to be a problem? What is the wind doing? What is the downside? Who lives there?
A human analyst can do this, but not consistently. Not for the whole country, especially not at 4am.
So I created Signet.
Signet is an independent wildfire intelligence agent for the continental United States. It monitors wildfire activity, tracks events, generates outlooks, and makes predictions about fire behavior, then checks them against subsequent satellite passes.
When it sees deteriorating weather on fuel overload without any active events, it can initiate its investigation. Reasoning is visible in the live feed instead of disappearing behind a black box.
Last month, fires raged across the Texas Panhandle. Cygnet flagged the region as high risk, tracked the associated critical events, and autonomously walked through the loop for 20 hours. I didn’t touch it.
Satellites tell you where the heat is. Signet tries to tell you what it means.
It’s live now. https://signet.watch. You can sign up by zip code for free alerts when notable activity is detected near you.
If you check it out, I’d especially love feedback on:
– Whether nearby alerts feel useful.
– Whether the view of the live situation is clear.
– Whether reasoning feeds confidence or just adds noise.
And if you live in fire country, or work in emergency management, insurance, or public safety – I’d love to hear what would make this really useful.
