Octolens helps me identify the right conversations in relevant, developer-first channels. It's beautifully crafted and straightforward. Define your keywords, get notified on Slack, and forget it. It just works.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Charlotte here, co-founder of Octolens.

Two years ago we set out to build a great social listening dashboard. The app you'd open with your morning coffee and check again before lunch. Then we looked at our happiest customers and realized almost none of them open Octolens at all.

Vercel pipes mentions into 20+ Slack channels for their product teams. PostHog forwards every mention into a custom Val Town dashboard as events. Tally reads them inside Missive, next to the rest of their inbox. Prisma's DevRel team gets pinged in Slack and replies in under five minutes. Our app's DAUs went down while revenue grew 5x year over year.

So we stopped selling a dashboard and rebuilt Octolens as a data layer. The big shift: API, webhooks, and our MCP v2 are now on every plan. If you pay us anything, you own your data from day one and can pipe it anywhere. No enterprise gate.

One endpoint covers 15+ sources: Reddit, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Hacker News, GitHub, podcasts, newsletters, news, and more. One auth, one schema, AI-filtered JSON.

Here's why it matters now: your AI agents can already read your code, docs, and CRM, but they're blind to the world outside. They don't know people are arguing about your pricing on Reddit, or that a competitor is getting roasted in this week's podcasts. Connect Octolens via API or MCP and your agents get ears. A few workflows customers run in production today:

Mentions to Linear issues: webhook the post to an agent, it classifies it and files a ticket with the right team.

Catch churn signals early: a negative tweet or a "looking for an alternative" post flagged in real time, with a draft for outreach.

Pipeline from public conversations: surface intent, enrich via our new Attio partnership, drop it in your CRM.

🎁 Show us what you build and get 12 months of free mentions. Ship a workflow on the Octolens API or MCP, post it on X or LinkedIn and tag @octolens, and we'll add 10,000 mentions/month to your account for the next 12 months. We genuinely don't know everything people will build on this yet. That's half the reason we're launching.

Start a free trial and ask us anything in the comments. We'll be here all day.
