The problem it solves

You have no easy way to know when someone writes about your brand online, so mentions slip by unnoticed. Without a clear read on sentiment, you cannot tell whether coverage is helping or hurting your reputation.

Who it fits

A marketing or PR team that wants to monitor how the brand is discussed online without manually searching every day.

How it works

  1. Blog posts and articles are scraped for brand mentions
  2. AI reads the content and scores the sentiment
  3. Key points about the brand coverage are summarized
  4. Results are logged into Google Sheets
What you get

Brand coverage you know about without searching daily

Mentions of your brand across blogs and articles get tracked and scored for sentiment automatically, all in one spreadsheet.

What you get

A Google Sheet tracking every brand mention found, its sentiment, and a summary of the coverage.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Bright Data account, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
