Media Monitoring Software for News, Reddit, and the Web

The media monitoring software that reads every article, thread, and mention, not just collects them in a folder for you to read later.

Most media monitoring software still works like a clipping service: it finds a mention and hands you a link. Mentient reads the piece, tells you what it actually says about your brand, and flags the ones worth a response before the story has time to spread. Reddit threads and open web coverage land in the same feed, scored the same way, so nothing sits in a separate tool waiting to be checked.

What you get

Coverage that reads the story, not just the headline

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

Open Web Coverage

News sites, blogs, trade publications, and forums get crawled continuously, so a story picked up by a niche outlet shows up as fast as one from a major publication.

Reddit Thread Monitoring

Every public subreddit watched around the clock, catching the threads where people actually debate a brand before a journalist ever notices the story.

AI-Powered Summaries

Our AI reads each article in full and returns a plain summary of what it says and how it frames your brand, so you know the substance without opening every link.

Coverage Spike Alerts

When mentions of a story start clustering across sources, an alert fires automatically instead of you noticing the pattern three hours in.

Source & Topic Tracking

Filter coverage by publication, topic, or sentiment, so a product recall thread and a funding announcement don't get buried in the same undifferentiated feed.

We used to rely on Google Alerts, which missed 80% of what mattered. Mentient catches everything — Reddit threads, niche blogs, industry sites — and the AI summaries mean we spend minutes reviewing coverage, not hours.

Under the hood

The coverage report that does not double-count

Most media reports treat every URL as a story. Syndication turns that into a number nobody can defend. Mentient groups republished copies and summarises each story once with Claude, so the report says what ran and what it said.

URL counting

A single trade story, republished across a ring of aggregator sites.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What media sources does Mentient cover?
News sites, blogs, trade publications, forums, and every public subreddit, all crawled continuously and scored in the same feed. Most media monitoring tool comparisons stop at social and news, this one folds Reddit in as a first-class source rather than an afterthought. If a source you need is missing, support can usually add it within a normal release cycle rather than leaving it as an open request.
Can I set up alerts for specific keywords or topics?
Yes. Set alerts around a brand name, a product line, a topic, or a competitor you're tracking through our competitor tracking feature, and Mentient notifies you by email or Slack the moment a matching mention is scored, rather than waiting for a scheduled digest.
How is Mentient different from Google Alerts?
Google Alerts finds a keyword match and stops there, which means it misses paraphrased coverage and can't tell you what an article actually says. Mentient reads the full piece with Claude, summarizes it, scores the sentiment, and covers Reddit threads that Google Alerts never surfaces at all. We break down which of these signals are worth acting on in our guide to the listening metrics that matter.
Does Mentient monitor international media coverage?
Coverage spans English-language sources broadly today, with additional regions and languages being added. If international coverage in a specific market is a requirement, support can confirm current scope before you commit to a plan.
Can multiple team members monitor the same coverage?
Yes, every plan supports multiple seats on shared dashboards, so comms, marketing, and product can all work from the same scored feed instead of forwarding screenshots between tools.
