## How Octolens works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add keywords">
    Octolens uses your company context to score each mention for relevance, sentiment, and intent. That's how common-word brands stay free of noise.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Organize mentions into feeds">
    Start with Brand Mentions, Competitor Mentions, or Buy Intent, or build your own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send them to your stack">
    Route feeds to Slack, email, webhooks, or Attio, or query them with the API and CLI.
  </Step>
