What it does

Watches public mentions of your brand across X, Reddit, and TikTok, scores each one for sentiment, and detects when negative chatter surges past your normal hourly baseline. A genuine surge opens a dedicated crisis thread in Discord and pings the comms on-call so a human can respond before it escalates.

When to use it

Run this when your brand is large enough that a bad mention can snowball overnight and you need early warning rather than a morning-after scramble. Best for comms and PR teams who want signal, not a firehose of every neutral tweet.

How it works

  1. 1A 15-minute schedule fires the run.
  2. 2Apify scrapes recent public mentions of your brand handles and keywords across platforms.
  3. 3OpenAI scores each mention -1 to +1 and tags themes (product, support, exec, outage).
  4. 4A logic step compares negative-mention rate against a rolling baseline and exits quietly if it is normal.
  5. 5On a surge, Apify-collected post URLs and sentiment summary are bundled.
  6. 6A Discord thread is opened in the comms channel with the worst offenders and the on-call comms lead is tagged.
