Focus on the news and social media that matter most and gain a complete picture of your dataset through AI-powered spike analysis, clusters, and summaries.
First announced during the Product Deep Dive: Social Listening & Consumer Intelligence session at Summit, Spike Analysis and Content Clusters were instant hits among early access users. Today, we launch them globally for all Explore customers.
What is it?
- Spike Analysis: a new AI-powered insights feature on the Mentions Trend widget in Explore: Spike Detection and Analysis. Identify statistically relevant shifts in news and social media conversation, with summary explanations and insight drill-ins to view mentions and additional spike analytics.
- We’ve also updated our Spike Alerts with the new contextual analytics across email, in-app, and Slack!
- Content Clusters: a new AI-powered widget on the Overview tab in Explore. Using a proprietary AI, Meltwater clusters related search results based on topic similarity and generates summaries for the clustered content. The new widget helps by highlighting the most relevant content, quickly organizing similar stories, and summarizing the main points. Source types include News, Blogs, Twitter, and Reddit.
