RivalPulse is fine, but I wish it flagged urgent Reddit threads instead of dumping everything in one feed. We keep missing the posts that actually matter.

jack friks@jackfriksThe cost of missing it
Your competitors' users are already writing your roadmap.
People publicly explain what they love, hate, and wish existed in the tools they already use. If you are not listening, competitors get time to fix the gaps before you turn them into product, positioning, or outreach.
Negative competitor mentions reveal pain you can solve faster.
Favorite-feature chatter shows what the market values enough to talk about.
Switching and alternative threads are warm conversations you can join before the buyer decides.
Practical plays
Three ways to turn mentions into business results.
Each play starts with a keyword strategy, then uses Stalkr to surface the posts worth acting on.

How Marc uses Stalkr
Marc Lou
Founder of Stalkr
I'm Marc. I built Stalkr to track what people say about my products.
One day, a founder tweeted me asking if they could sell their startup on TrustMRR. I turned that single message into its acquisition marketplace. Founders started getting acquired, and the feature has since generated more than $150,000 in revenue.
More than 380,000 people follow what I build on X, so feedback comes in every day.
I use Stalkr to:
- Find feature ideas
- Fix reported bugs
- Collect testimonials
- Correct misinformation
You can see it working on TrustMRR's live mentions.

Questions
Questions about strategy monitoring.
01Can I track competitor keywords in Stalkr?+
Yes. Add competitor names as keywords and Stalkr will monitor X, Reddit, and YouTube for relevant mentions.
02What should I do with negative competitor mentions?+
Look for patterns first. If the post is asking for alternatives or help, reply with useful context. If the complaint reveals repeated demand, turn it into roadmap or positioning input.
03Can this help product teams?+
Absolutely. Competitor monitoring shows missing features, confusing workflows, favorite capabilities, and the language buyers use when they compare tools.
04What does Stalkr monitor?+
Stalkr tracks public mentions across X, Reddit, and YouTube for the keywords you choose: your product, brand, competitors, founder name, feature names, or niche phrases your customers use.
05Do people need to tag my account?+
No. Stalkr is built for keyword monitoring, so it can catch public conversations where someone mentions your product or category without tagging you.
06Can I choose my own categories?+
Yes. You decide the categories that matter to your workflow. Where platform policy allows, Stalkr uses AI to file mentions into those categories. YouTube API mentions remain exact and are not assigned derived categories or sentiment.
07What counts as a mention?+
A mention is a public post, reply, thread, or comment that matches one of your tracked keywords or aliases. Stalkr dedupes and organizes them so you are not reviewing the same signal twice.
08How do email alerts work?+
You can get email alerts for mentions you cannot afford to miss, like urgent complaints, bug reports, false claims, high-intent buying threads, or creator shout-outs.
09Can Stalkr alert my AI agent when a new mention is found?+
Yes. Signed webhooks can send a mention.created event as soon as Stalkr finds a match. Your agent can then read the mention, source, context, engagement, and status through MCP or the API.
10Does Stalkr have an API and MCP server?+
Yes. Stalkr exposes its supported workflows through a versioned REST API and an authenticated MCP server, so agents can manage projects, keywords, mentions, alerts, categories, saved views, and webhooks with the same permissions and limits as the dashboard.
11Do I need to be a developer to connect an AI agent?+
No. The dashboard works normally, and OAuth-enabled MCP clients such as ChatGPT can connect without pasting an API key. Developers can also use scoped API keys, OpenAPI, and signed webhooks for custom systems.
