Developer Conversations Don't Wait for You
Developers Don't Tag You
A user shares your tool in a Reddit thread and 40 people discuss it. Nobody @-mentions your account. By the time you find it, the thread is dead and the opinions are formed.
You Can't Check Six Platforms Five Times a Day
Reddit, Hacker News, X, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, DEV — your community lives everywhere. Manual platform searches take 5-10 minutes each, multiple times a day. It doesn't scale.
Misinformation Compounds When You're Not There
Someone posts 'Product X is slow' based on a two-year-old benchmark. Three people agree. By tomorrow, it's an accepted take. The window to correct it was the first hour.
Every Developer Conversation, One Feed, Real-Time Alerts.
1. Add your keywords
−Your product name, project names, competitor names, even common misspellings. Octolens starts tracking across 11 developer-relevant platforms immediately.
2. AI filters out the noise

"Wild AI-native onboarding experience. I literally entered zero input other than `vercel.com` to get my Octolens feed up and giving me mentions"
What DevRel Teams Use Octolens For
Respond to Developers in Minutes, Not Days
A support question on Reddit. A frustrated tweet. A GitHub discussion asking for help. Your team sees it the moment it's posted and responds while the developer is still paying attention.
“If something needs attention, it gets flagged and handed to the support team or directly to the team that is building the product. Giving everyone access to this information enables us to support our community better and to have engineers directly engage with our users.”
Brian Young
Demand Generation, PostHog
Correct Misinformation Before It Spreads
Outdated benchmarks, wrong comparisons, inaccurate claims about your product — they show up constantly. Catch them early, respond with facts, and watch the narrative shift over time.
“People may post things like 'Prisma is slow,' but it's based on outdated info. With Octolens, we can jump in, respond with the facts, and over time, that really shifts public perception.”
Marc Hess
Manager of Developer Advocacy, Prisma
Discover Community Moments You'd Never Find Manually
A professor teaching your framework in a college course. A developer building something unexpected with your API. A user defending your product in a competitor's thread — unprompted.
“Octolens flagged an entire college lecture about Turborepo. I would have never known someone was teaching Turborepo in class. Discovering things like that is incredible.”
Anthony Shew
Turbo Community Lead, Vercel
Route Product Feedback to the Right Team
Developers post candid opinions on Reddit that they'd never put in a support ticket. Surface that feedback automatically and pipe it to your product team — no manual triage needed.
“Community sentiment is as important as enterprise feedback or usage data. If Reddit or X tells us we're misaligned, that's enough for us to make a move.”
Brian Emerick
Technical Program Manager, Vercel
DevRel Teams at These Companies Use Octolens Every Day
“We had ideas, and you just built them. Or helped us set them up. That goes so far. Having that ability to ping someone, get help, or iterate together — that's been the difference.”
Marc Hess
Manager of Developer Advocacy, Prisma
“Your brand’s getting mentioned somewhere on the internet right now. Octolens make sure you don’t miss it - been using it for Supabase for the past week and it’s been great for replying fast.”
Terry Sutton
Engineer, Supabase
“Damn Octolens does exactly what i wanted and does it really well.”
Sam Lambert
CEO, Planetscale

Frequently Asked Questions
Reddit, X/Twitter, Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow, LinkedIn, DEV, YouTube, Bluesky, newsletters, podcasts, and news. These are the platforms where developer conversations actually happen.
Octolens uses AI relevance scoring to filter out off-context mentions. Prisma — which shares its name with a health company and dozens of other businesses — tracks 600+ relevant mentions per week with their DevRel team.
Yes. Pro plan and above include unlimited seats. Most DevRel teams set up a shared Slack channel where all mentions land, so the whole team can see and respond.
Real-time via Slack, daily email digests, or webhooks. Most DevRel teams use Slack because they can see a mention and click through to respond within seconds. No separate dashboard to check.
Yes. Set up separate keywords for each product or project. Vercel tracks Turborepo, Next.js, and their other products separately so the right team sees the right mentions.
Manual searching takes 5-10 minutes per platform, multiple times a day. You'll miss mentions between checks, and you'll never catch conversations where people don't tag you. Octolens monitors continuously and alerts you in real time.
No. Setup is self-serve and takes under 5 minutes. If your team wants to build on top of Octolens with webhooks or the API — like PostHog did with a custom dashboard — you can, but it's optional.
