Hey Product Hunters! šŸ‘‹ First off, a huge thank you to this amazing community and @benln for hunting us! šŸŽÆ After 7+ years in service marketing, I always dreamed of building my own productā€”just like many of you. Now, that dream is buzzaboutā€”an AI-driven tool designed to make audience research so much easier. šŸ’” The Problem In my time as a marketer, I saw so many businesses struggling to understand their audience. Without the time or budget for proper research (we all know that it's never perfect), weā€™d end up relying on spying on competitors, reading endless comments, and spending big on A/B tests. It just didnā€™t feel right. šŸš€ The Solution Thatā€™s why we built buzzabout. Itā€™s super simple to use: 1ļøāƒ£ Enter your keyword 2ļøāƒ£ Choose a data source 3ļøāƒ£ Hit enter In just a few minutes, youā€™ll get key insights from thousands of real-time social media discussionsā€”perfect for refining your ads, product strategy, messaging, or content. šŸŽÆ Why It Matters Audience research is crucial. Now, you have a new, fast, and effective way to do it. I hope buzzabout brings you fresh insights and sparks some great discoveries! šŸ” Let me know what you think in the comments! šŸ’¬ P.S. Itā€™s free to use on Reddit, and hereā€™s a promo for 50% off for the first 3 months: PH50OFF on Pro and Business plans. I wish I could offer more, but heyā€”you all know how expensive infrastructure could be! šŸ˜‰ (especially for bootstrapped startups as ours)

Hello @viktor_surkov & team. The UI is really nice, and the UX goes along fine too. Great job for making it super easy to navigate and understand. The "Try it now" option could be improved by showing me a teaser from the actual results before asking me to sign-up. I would have more likely signed up if I saw the kind of results it can bring up :) This has a lot of potential! Congrats on the launch šŸ™Œ and all the best!
Viktor Surkov
@owenfar thank you for your feedback! Actually, there are example reports on a landing page, on the right from a search field ;)

@benln @the_han_kim thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts!

Nice! Some questions: First thing i'm looking for on your website is where you get this insight from. When was it last updated. And How do you get the data. I guess it's a combo of AI crawling and API access (Altho API is now pretty locked down / too expensive). Adding some transparency around this would go along way when deciding to use this platform.
Viktor Surkov
@sentry_co thank you for your comment! It's real-time data that we are capturing from different places, depending on the source. Can tell you more in private messages, feel free to reach out on LinkedIn! That's also interesting to see what level of transparency will be enough? Would love to chat, Andre!
Orysia Khimiak
Woow thank you so much for sharing with a community. It sounds like a times saver for everyone who is in marketing , communications or do market research. Do you have a trial version?
Viktor Surkov
@orysia_khimiak thank you! It's free forever on Reddit ;)
Viktor Surkov
@orysia_khimiak that would be awesome! would love to grant you a special account for your huge support ;) will reach out to you soon!
Kate Shcherbak
Congratulations on the launch! šŸŽ‰ Itā€™s a major milestone, and Iā€™m sure itā€™s just the beginning of many more successes ahead. Wishing you all the best as you continue to grow and innovate! Have one moment: What sets you apart from ChatGPT? šŸ¤”
Viktor Surkov
@kate_shcherbak thank you! Would love to clarify on key differences: 1. We rely on real-time data, GPT on historical data 2. We analyze only relevant discussions on social media, while GPT relies on the internet. 3. We analyze huge amounts of data, while GPT does online searches only through a couple of posts. 4. Since we are a specialized tool, we managed to vastly reduce the amount of hallucinations, while GPT has a hard time connecting sources with conclusions. 5. We provide not only meanings but also audience size, sentiment, eng. rate, gender distribution, which gives a chance to analyze what really matters in terms of audience research, while GPT mostly simple generalised answers. 6. Also we can access YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook, while GPT only Reddit (because they don't need other sources). 7. Also not mentioning features like slack integration, AI assistant on RAG of relevant data, changes tracker etc. To conclude, GPT is an incredibly powerful LLM for general purposes, while we are a "microscope" for one particular task, such as audience research.

šŸŽ‰ Congratulations on the launch of buzzabout! šŸš€ Iā€™ve created an interactive demo of your product using Supademo to showcase its features in action. You can check it out here: https://app.supademo.com/demo/cm... Supademo allows you to create engaging, interactive demos in minutes, and it's a great way to highlight key aspects of your product for potential users. I'd love to see this demo added to your launch pageā€”it could help drive more engagement during your launch and beyond! Feel free to share it with your community and let us know if youā€™d like any updates or adjustments. Best of luck with your launch!
Viktor Surkov
@vimal_kumar_rai thank you, a lot for that! Would definitely check it out, and will let you know!
Kelly Kim
Congratulations on the launch! I just signed up and tried it out. I think it would be great if the speed could be a little faster during the process of generating results. Providing various result values was very helpful! The dashboard for showing results seems really good. I'll use Buzzabout often when researching app trends! As a suggestion, I think the speed could be improved by loading data step by step rather than all at once.
Viktor Surkov
@kellypoly thank you for your answer! Yes, It's true, there some ways to speed that up a little bit, but since we process tones of data in real-time - It really takes a LOT computing power!
Kelly Kim
@viktor_surkov I understood what you mean. By the way, the data results were so insightful! Thank you for making!
Viktor Surkov
@kellypoly that's a pleasure for me to hear such feedback! thank you!
Kate Kovbii
Congrats on the launch! This looks like a perfect tool to get to know your audience better! BTW did you guys used it to learn more about your target audience before the launch? šŸ˜
Viktor Surkov
@kate_kovbii thank you! of course, we used all the insights in our app itself!

Priyanka Saini
Excited to see a tool that simplifies audience research! Amazing!! How did you come up with the idea for buzzabout?
Viktor Surkov
@priyanka27 thank you! We have been dreaming of it for quite a long time)
Andrey Lipkovskiy
Hey buzzabout team! Amazing job! The product looks great ā€” from the landing page to the value you get. This should become a must have tool for marketers and content creators. Are you going to add more platforms? What's on your radar? Congratulations and good luck šŸ™Œ
Viktor Surkov
@lipkovskiy thank you! Yes, we plan to expand to next 3 sources in next month or two, and another 3 right after. As well as other useful features. I promise that it's just 10% of everything that we have in our plans! Would love to stay in touch!
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Viktor, I'm curious, how does the tool handle sentiment analysis across different languages and cultures? Are there any features for tracking changes in audience sentiment over time? Congrats on the launch!
Viktor Surkov
@kyrylosilin yes, it's a multi-language tool! and yes, in general tracking feature is something that we are already working on - should be pretty soon ;)

Suprabhat Biyani
Congrats on the launch @viktor_sur! This looks great. The ability to extract real-time insights from online conversations is incredibly powerful. How does your AI ensure the relevance and accuracy of insights from such a vast data pool?
Viktor Surkov
@suprabhatbiyani thank you! Well, we have our unique data processing pipeline, that does that, it's the hardest part, to be honest, and we continuously improving that.
Martin MariÄĆ”k
Congrats on the launch. The design looks amazing! Since perplexity can also do searches focused on social media, can you elaborate on how buzzabout's results are better?
Viktor Surkov
@martinmaricak thank you! I have been waiting for that question! Here are the key advantages: 1. The amount of data analyzed per research is x100 at least. 2. We specialize exactly in audience research (audience analysis, dynamics, topic detection, and much more) 3. We have used more data sources (there is no TikTok for example in Perplexity) 4. AI assistant that navigates through 5. Team access and collaboration available 6. Integrated into Slack to do research without leaving the workspace So I would say that concepts are completely different, when Perplexity is for general purposes, and our tool is specialised on a particular task.
Nicole Park
