Real results from teams using Octolens
"Built on top of the Octolens API, I use Railway as a service to pipe all of the mentions to different channels. Then there's a cron job that does a daily digest for us."
"Wild AI-native onboarding experience. I literally entered zero input other than vercel.com to get my Octolens feed up and giving me mentions."
"A big part of our job is paying attention to what people are saying online - answering questions, correcting misunderstandings, and joining the conversation in real time."
"It's not about replying to everything. It's about showing up in the right conversations and doing it genuinely. Octolens helps us do that at scale."
"Developers tune out advertising, but they do talk online - and that's where our reputation is built."

Frequently asked questions
Octolens helps B2B SaaS teams stay on top of critical brand mentions—without the noise. We monitor platforms that matter for modern software companies, like Reddit, X, GitHub, newsletters, and podcasts. Our AI filters out the irrelevant and sends the right posts directly to Slack, Email, or Webhooks—so you can respond faster, stop misinformation, and gather real product feedback.
Currently, Octolens can track mentions on Newsletters, Podcasts, Twitter/X, Reddit, Bluesky, GitHub, YouTube, Stack Overflow, Hacker News, DEV.to, and more. We're adding more sources on a frequent basis. If you're missing something, please reach out to us.
We offer very high coverage, although accuracy can vary depending on the platform and the volume of mentions for your keywords. For detailed, platform-specific coverage information, please refer to our product documentation.
Yes. We offer a 7-day free trial with all our Pro plan features so you can see for yourself if Octolens is right for you. During the trial, you can access up to 1,000 mentions.
Octolens acts like a team member who reviews posts and determines their importance to your business. You likely don't want every mention clogging your inbox—only the ones that matter. Our AI assesses each post's relevance based on the context of your business and the needs of B2B SaaS. It assigns a high, medium, or low relevance score, and it also tags posts with sentiment and categories (e.g., buy-intent, customer testimonial, promotional). You can choose to receive alerts for all posts or just those marked as high or high and medium (default).
Yes! You can receive notifications for new mentions directly in Slack. You can also customize which relevance levels trigger alerts. For example, you might opt to be notified only for posts that our AI identifies as high relevance—such as those with buying intent, promising engagement opportunities, customer complaints, or praise.
Yes! We offer full API access, webhooks, and an MCP server on all plans. This allows you to integrate your mentions with any app, build custom dashboards, or power AI agent workflows. Our webhooks are also directly compatible with Discord. Additionally, you can use popular automation tools like Zapier, n8n, or Make to route your notifications to your app of choice.
