Collection
Everything gets captured
Every mention across 1,000+ sources. Dedicated coverage, social posts, passing references. This powers your watchlist alerts and trend clustering in Spaces.
Curation
Broad and deep
RSS feeds, social accounts, regulatory filings, press wires, and research, all flowing through automated pipelines into a unified data warehouse. If it's published, we capture it.
Enrichment
AI-enriched for deep analysis
Every article is sentiment-scored, entity-extracted, and topic-classified using the latest models from leading AI providers like Anthropic and OpenAI. Trends are identified by grouping related narratives with signal strength and confidence scoring.
Delivery
From monitoring to deliverables
Create watchlists for what matters. Organize in Spaces by project. Generate deliverables with Recipes. All backed by verified coverage.
How we label sentiment
We categorize by tone, context, and language. Not keywords, actual meaning. This is why the sentiment in your watchlists is reliable.
