What problem does it solve?

Use when the user wants to know what real people are actually saying about a topic right now, not the SEO/editorial version. Pulls recent posts and engagement from Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the web, ranks by engagement and recency with a deterministic scorer, and writes one synthesized brief. Triggers: "what are people saying about X", "what's the vibe/sentiment on X", "X vs Y what does the community think", "how are people using X", "is X worth it", "latest on X", "take the pulse on X", "/mob-check", "what's the mob saying about X".

FAQPage Schema
How do I check real-time public sentiment across social media and web sources?

Real-time public sentiment is checked by aggregating live discourse across Reddit, X, YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, and the web. The ranker fuses engagement and recency signals to produce a synthesized brief for decision making.

What's the best way to compare community opinions on competing topics across multiple platforms?

To compare community opinions on competing topics, aggregate cross-source posts and rank them by engagement and recency. This surfaces what real people are saying right now, generating a concise synthesis for competitive landscape polling.

How does ranking by engagement and recency work for multi-source social media analysis?

Ranking by engagement and recency uses a deterministic scorer to fuse signals from multi-source social media posts. It produces per-item relevance, freshness, and engagement metrics to ensure reproducible results across sources.

Do I need any specific data connectors to pull live discussions from Reddit, X, and YouTube?

You do not need manual data connectors to pull live discussions from Reddit, X, and YouTube. The process relies on Hermes to fetch data directly from these platforms and the built-in ranker to synthesize the results.

Can I monitor public reception over time using cross-source discourse analysis?

You can monitor public reception over time by repeatedly aggregating cross-source discourse. Running this process periodically surfaces live discussions and generates concise briefs tracking sentiment shifts for decision making.

What are the limitations of using a deterministic scorer for social media sentiment analysis?

A deterministic scorer for social media sentiment analysis ensures reproducible rankings by engagement and recency, but it relies on Hermes to fetch data. It synthesizes public discourse rather than performing deep emotional sentiment classification.
