Open-source media intelligence & social listening. A self-hostable, AI-agnostic alternative to Talkwalker and Brandwatch, built on free data sources with support for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and Grok.

← Talking to customers

In simple English

This tool listens to what people say about your brand online across news sites, social media, and forums. It replaces expensive enterprise software that usually costs thousands of dollars every month. You can run it on your own computer or server for free, and you only pay for the artificial intelligence engine you choose. It helps you track sentiment, spot crises, and write executive summaries without needing a huge team. Setup takes about thirty seconds if you just want to test it locally.

What it is

Radar is a self-hosted media intelligence and social listening dashboard built with Next.js and TypeScript. It collects data from over twenty sources, builds boolean search queries with artificial intelligence, and generates reports in PDF, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.

What it is good for

Solo founders and small teams who want to monitor brand mentions, competitor tracking, and sentiment analysis without paying thousands of dollars a month for commercial tools.
