Set up a monitor by just asking

Tell the assistant what you want to follow in plain words. It asks a few quick questions, writes a precise Boolean query and walks you through the rest. No operators to learn.

  • Describe it in plain English, and the AI builds the query
  • A guided chat walks you through the whole setup
  • Refine with AND / OR / NOT whenever you want full control

Social listening, answered

Which networks does Babel42 cover?

Social, video, news, developer and question-and-answer communities, the fediverse, blogging, Instagram, X as an add-on, and reviews. More networks are on the way.

How does sentiment analysis work?

AI reads each mention in context and scores it positive, negative or neutral, then rolls the results up into a plain-English read on how people feel, with the share of voice and themes behind it.

Can I buy Social Listening on its own?

Yes. It is a standalone product with its own plans, and every account includes a free AI Visibility account, so you can also see what AI says about you.

How far back does the data go?

It varies by network and plan. Where a network allows it we backfill history when you create a monitor, and higher tiers keep your data longer, up to two years on the top plans.
