FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about local scraping vs professional narrative tracking
How is Perception different from the /last30days AI skill?
The /last30days tool is a local, open-source AI agent skill designed to scrape recent social discussions. Perception is a managed, cloud-ready narrative intelligence workspace that tracks 1,000+ media sources alongside social sentiment, offering official APIs and long-term history.
Does Perception require login cookies or scraper scripts?
No. Perception runs entirely on managed cloud infrastructure with official data pipelines. You get clean narrative intelligence without having to configure local cookie files or proxies.
What is the advantage of media monitoring over social scraping?
Social scraping captures retail user emotion and bot noise. Media monitoring tracks verified journalists, editors, and corporate filings - the outlets that shape regulatory policy and capital deployment.
Can I use Perception inside my coding assistant?
Yes. Perception is MCP-native. You can connect our server directly to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to run in-depth narrative research within your development workspace.
