What they did

Instead of paying for a monitoring product, they built a small app on Replit that watches for a set list of keywords and brand terms and sends a Slack notification so marketing can join those conversations. They also built calculators and moved them onto the public marketing website as free resources.

What happened

He says the tool notifies the team in Slack whenever the tracked terms come up, and that adoption at the company is mainly in marketing and revenue operations.

Keep in mind

No detail on which sources it watches, how noisy the alerts are, or how much work it takes to maintain. He says someone semi-technical is needed to get good results.

Try it with your agent

Build a small app that checks <the sources you care about, for example news search, Reddit or review sites> every <interval> for mentions of <your brand name and keywords>. Post each new mention to <Slack channel> with the source, a one-line summary and the link, and skip duplicates. Add a simple page where I can edit the keyword list.

Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
