Social Listening Examples From Real Teams
“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.”
Mahmoud Abdelwahab, Senior DevRel Engineer
“Octolens saves me around 10 hours per week and completely changed how quickly I can respond. Going back to my bookmark method, I would check in the morning, around lunch, and again at the end of the day. Now everything shows up in Slack or via MCP and I can respond in minutes.”
Matthew Hefferon, Developer Advocate
“Once you reach a certain size, there's the risk of misinformation. With Octolens, we can jump in, respond with the facts, and over time, that really shifts public perception.”
Marc Hess, Manager of Developer Advocacy
“Wild AI-native onboarding experience. I literally entered zero input other than 'vercel.com' to get my Octolens feed up and giving me mentions.”
Guillermo Rauch, Co-Founder & CEO
“We saw people using different terms to describe us. It made us realize we were misaligned. That insight directly shaped our external messaging.”
David Paffenholz, Co-Founder & CEO
“We've caught negative threads early, surfaced bugs, and celebrated wins. But most importantly, we've built a habit of listening. That's changed the game.”
Brian Young, Demand Gen
“Talking to users is the one thing that always matters. As the volume grew, we just couldn't do it manually anymore - Octolens helps make it a structured process.”
Marie Martens, Co-Founder
