ai social listening · with judgment

The conversations that matter most are happening without you.

Right now someone is asking for recommendations in your category, someone is venting about your competitor, and a customer is airing a problem you could fix today.

ThreadSonar is social listening with judgment: it watches six platforms around the clock, works out which conversations matter and who's talking, and delivers them to your inbox, your Slack, or your AI agent.

not-relevant matches are credited back. you pay for qualified, never for noise

01why threads matter twice

Every thread does two jobs.

Today, that “what should I use for X” thread is a live buyer you could win. For the next three years, it's a source ChatGPT and Perplexity will cite when every other buyer asks the same question.

active · pays this week

Join the conversation, win the person in it

Reply while the thread is live: win the buyer, save the churning customer, correct the record. Results this week.

passive · compounds for years

Be present in the threads AI trusts

AI engines learn who to recommend from these exact threads. Show up and you're recommended to buyers you'll never meet. That's share of model.

the gap

Almost nobody does either, because nobody can find the threads: millions of conversations, and the relevant ones die within hours.

ThreadSonar finds them. It doesn't post, doesn't send, doesn't automate outreach. It answers one question extremely well:

Where should you be talking right now?

02share of model · geo

Buyers now ask AI first. Are you in the answer?

That headline means these conversations too. Someone asks ChatGPT “what should I use for X,” a vendor gets chosen, and no dashboard ever sees it. The fastest-growing part of your funnel is invisible.

ThreadSonar makes it a number, then makes it movable. We ask your category's buying questions to every major engine on a schedule, and surface the cited threads behind the answers that skipped you. One click turns a thread into a signal. Showing up is how the line bends.

    Sarah ChenFounder @ PropFlow · CRM for property managers

    Since Intently shut down we've been scrambling for a replacement. Need a social listening tool that watches Reddit + X for people actually asking for products like ours. Happy to pay $200-300/mo if the leads are qualified. What is everyone using?

    Priya NatarajanVP Marketing @ Craftline · B2B manufacturing SaaS

    We're consolidating our GTM stack next quarter and social listening is the biggest gap. If your team found something that surfaces actual buying conversations, not vanity mentions, I'd genuinely love an intro. Budget is approved.

    gtm_danRuns listening for 6 B2B clientsr/marketingagency

    Our agency runs listening for 6 B2B clients and Brand24 is getting way too expensive for what it delivers. It keeps flagging junk and missing the actual buying conversations. Is there anything that scores posts for intent?

    Ask HN: how do you find early users for a niche B2B product? I've been manually searching Reddit for people complaining about the problem we solve. It works but takes ~5 hrs/week and I definitely miss threads.

04who it's for

Marketing & GEO

Mentions, sentiment, share of voice, and the dark-social threads where your category gets discussed. The same threads are what AI engines cite.

Product & Customer Success

A gold mine of issues: what people hate about your competitors, what frustrates them about you, customers venting before they churn. Roadmap fuel, or a save.

Sales & GTM

Buying signals in the wild: pain, asks for recs, competitor complaints. Reply while intent is hot, straight into pipeline.

05how it works
1 · you write a sentence
“agencies complaining their social listening tool is too expensive”

Compiled into native queries for all six platforms, a scoring rubric, and semantic anchors. No booleans, no keyword lists.

2 · every post is judged

3 · you get the ones that matter

“our tool just tripled prices, what are people moving to?”

why: actively switching, budget confirmed · reply draft included

Scored, tagged, explained. Delivered to the inbox, Slack, or your agent.

your 👍/👎 flows back into the judge: precision sharpens weekly, not-relevant is credited back

4 · the compounding layer

The threads you join become the sources AI engines cite: leads land today, share of model climbs for years.

06use cases

One sentence away from any audience.

Signals are plain English: describe the conversation and it's on your radar. Each of these is one click from being yours.

07delivery · humans and agents

Signal data your team, or your agents, can act on.

Live signals are only worth what you do with them. Route them to a Slack channel for humans, or plug any agent straight into the data over MCP.

Slack, for your team

Every qualified conversation lands in your channel with the post, the score, the why, and a reply draft, while the thread is still warm.

Each workspace gets its own Slack, even different Slack orgs per product.

MCP

An MCP server, for your agents

Point Claude, Cursor, or your own agent at our MCP server: it pulls fresh leads, uses the drafts, and marks them contacted.

Listening to acting, no human in the loop required.

Someone just posted about the problem you solve. Someone else is venting about your competitor.

People call this category social listening. That undersells it: listening is passive consumption. This is knowing which conversations to be in, before they're over.
