Thanks,@ridhwikvinod! When you sign up or add a new keyword we go back one week historical, from then on its about the new mentions coming in.
Setup was surprisingly quick and the AI scoring actually seemed to flag the relevant Reddit threads instead of just dumping everything. Wish the Slack alerts were a bit more customizable but overall it nailed finding competitor mentions.

@kardelengk2rpc Thanks for the feedback! Noted on Slack customization - as a workaround right now you can use @Val Town from @stevekrouse to customize easily.
I see strong value in connecting mentions with Slack and CRM workflows. how do you measure whether a mention deserves immdeiate attention. A simple priority score with clear reasons could help teams respond faster and avoid wasting time.

@jason_scott8 Thanks! We do have a releance filter as well as tags which help triage. We also have a quick summary of why we think the post is important to you / your business.
With our MCP you can also add your own layer of what you think is important + your goals. I think we can definitely also expand and create some more skills with value add next actions steps and suggestions.
Reddit is one of the most useful apps if you want valuable feedback, how close is the data to real time ?
Octolens
@reda_roqai_chaoui very very close! Usually just a few seconds.

Congrats on the launch, really cool product! Wondering which functionality is available via MCP?

@solodnev basically everything you can do in app + more. You can create keywords and filtered feeds and alerts (e.g., set up a slack alert all via Claude). You can also run any kind of analysis question based on your mention data which is really neat.
Been using Octolens for a few weeks to track competitor mentions on Reddit and HN. Setup took maybe 3 minutes – just plugged in my website and it suggested keywords. Now I get Slack alerts when someone's complaining about a problem my tool solves. AI filtering actually works, not getting spammed with junk. One thing though – it's great for existing products, but if you're still in pre-launch validation, this isn't really the right tool. Solid for what it does though.

@rick_borduur Thanks for the review, glad you are liking it!! I agree that it's easiest to get value if you have an existing product or brand.
Very cool! We've tried several similar tools because we specifically need to monitor LinkedIn, but we weren't happy with any of them. When monitoring was based only on keywords rather than semantic understanding, we ended up with thousands of post links, of which only about 0.1% were relevant at best. Does your system analyze posts based on their meaning rather than just keywords? If it processes several thousand posts per day, how much would that cost?
We're ready to become your customer if the pricing is reasonable and the analysis is based on semantic understanding rather than just keywords. We also only need support for a single platform - Linkedin
