The Brand Monitoring Tool That Reads Every Mention in Context

Context-scored mentions from Reddit and the web, delivered while a reply can still change the outcome.

Most brand monitoring tools score sentiment by matching a word against a list, which is exactly how a sarcastic post ends up counted as praise. Mentient sends every mention to Claude with the full surrounding context before it gets a score, then routes the ones that need a reply to your inbox while the thread is still small enough to answer well.

What you get

One feed for every mention that matters

Powered by Claude AI · Live on Reddit and the open web

Reddit Monitoring

Every public subreddit watched continuously, from the big general ones down to the niche industry threads where B2B buyers actually ask for recommendations.

Web Intelligence

News sites, blogs, review platforms, and forums get crawled around the clock, landing in the same feed as Reddit. Our media monitoring feature covers the news and press side of this in more depth.

AI Sentiment Scoring

Our smart AI reads the full post before scoring it, catching a sarcastic 'love this' the way a person reading the thread would.

Instant Alerts

Email or Slack fires the moment a mention crosses your threshold, while the thread is still small enough to answer well.

7 & 30-Day Trend Charts

Two chart windows show whether perception is drifting, so you can line a dip up against a launch, a price change, or one bad thread.

Mentient found a viral Reddit thread about us within minutes. We responded the same day and turned a potential PR crisis into a product win. The AI sentiment scores tell us immediately whether to celebrate or act.

Under the hood

A keyword match counts. Smart AI reads.

A keyword-only tool scores the words it recognizes and stops there. Mentient hands the full sentence to Claude along with the brand it's supposed to be about, and the model returns a sentiment call, a topic tag, and a relevance judgment. That extra step is the only reason two tools looking at the identical sentence land on opposite answers. We go deeper on which of these signals actually predict something worth acting on in our guide to the listening metrics that matter.

Keyword tool

Oh great, another outage.

Scored positive — it matched the word "great"

Mentient

Oh great, another outage.

Scored negative — read as a complaint from the full sentence, tagged reliability, flagged for a reply

Who it's for

Built for whoever has to answer for the brand

Marketing teams

See what's landing and what isn't without keeping five search tabs open. Every mention arrives scored for sentiment and topic, so a pattern shows up as a trend instead of something you noticed by accident.

Comms & PR

Catch a negative spike while it's one thread, not after it's a story. Crisis detection watches for clusters forming across sources, the same signal our reputation management feature is built around, so PR hears about the shape of a problem, not just the first mention of it.

Product teams

Real reactions to a launch, sorted by sentiment and topic instead of buried in a spreadsheet, including the objections people post in a subreddit but never bother sending to support. If you also want visibility into how AI engines describe the product to buyers researching it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Mentient find brand mentions?
Every public subreddit, plus a growing list of news sites, blogs, review platforms, and forums across the open web. If you notice a source we're missing, tell support directly. Most requests like that get added within a normal release cycle rather than sitting in a backlog.
How quickly will I be notified of a new mention?
Most Reddit mentions reach you in under 5 minutes, and web sources land within 30. Alerts fire the moment Claude finishes scoring a mention, so email and Slack notifications go out while the conversation is still active, not in a batch the next morning.
Can I track mentions of competitors as well?
Yes, on every plan. Add the competitors you already watch, and their mentions show up in the same dashboard, scored the same way yours are, so a side-by-side comparison is a filter away rather than a separate report.
What does the AI sentiment analysis actually do?
AI reads each mention in the context of the full post, then returns a sentiment label, a confidence score, and a one-line summary of what the person meant. That context step is what catches sarcasm and mixed tone, the exact place keyword-only scoring produces false positives.
Is there a limit on how many mentions I can store?
Each plan carries a monthly mention allowance, 5,000 on Growth for example, and retention runs from 30 days on Starter up to unlimited on Agency. Your account settings page shows exactly where you stand against the limit at any point in the billing cycle.
Can Mentient find unlinked brand mentions?
Yes, and it's one of the more useful things this catches. Mentient matches your brand name in plain text, so it surfaces unlinked brand mentions, posts and articles that name you without a hyperlink back to your site. Referral analytics has no way of seeing those, and they're often worth a link-building outreach email on their own.
