GluonBrand Monitoringfor Busy Founders and Teams
Monitor LinkedIn, X, GitHub, Reddit, Newsletters and 8 other platforms for brand and competitor mentions. AI filters the noise, scores by relevance and buy-intent, and alerts you so you never miss a conversation that matters.
Gluonis the social data layer for your team and your AI stack. Your AI agents can browse the web and write code. But they can't tell you that someone on Reddit is asking for a product exactly like yours — right now. Plug us directly into Claude, GPT, your custom agents, or any AI workflow.

Your product is being discussed right now.
You're not in the room.
- Someone on Reddit is asking for an alternative to your competitor.
- A developer filed a GitHub issue mentioning your SDK.
- A TikTok creator just reviewed your product.
By the time you find these conversations manually, they're cold. Manual monitoring doesn't scale. Google Alerts misses 90% of social conversations.
Our vendor doubled prices overnight—what are people actually switching to?
Your docs still show the old SDK—we only caught it from a random GitHub thread.

How it works
How Gluon turns mentions into action
Set up your monitors once. Brandforge watches millions of conversations on the social web continuously and surfaces the conversations that deserve a response.
Tell us what to watch for
Add the phrases people use when they talk about you—product name, rivals, and the problems your buyers complain about. We run those monitors across 13 sources so nothing important stays buried in a subreddit or Github discussion.

FAQs
Questions and answers
We have answers to your questions about services and approach.
How fast do I get alerts?
Most alerts arrive within minutes after we detect a new mention, depending on the platform and how you have rules configured.
How is this different from Google Alerts?
Google Alerts is email-only keyword matching. Gluon covers 13+ sources, scores mentions with AI, tracks competitors, and can watch specific pages for changes — with Slack, email, and webhooks.
What does "website change detection" mean?
You pick URLs — pricing, docs, competitor landing pages — and we recheck them on your schedule, then notify you when the content meaningfully changes.
Can I monitor competitors?
Yes. Add competitor brands next to your own with the same platforms, keywords, AI scoring, and alert destinations.
Do I need technical skills to set up?
No engineering required. Connect sources, add brands and keywords, and turn on Slack or email in a guided flow.
What's included in the free trial?
The trial includes full Pro-tier features for 7 days with no credit card. Cancel before it ends if you do not want to continue.
Can I access my data via API?
API and automation options depend on your plan. Check your workspace settings or contact us for current endpoints, limits, and webhook events.
Do you support Slack, email, and webhooks?
Yes. Slack and email are built in. Webhooks are available on plans that include advanced integrations so you can push events to your own systems.
Can AI agents use this?
Yes. We ship an MCP server, REST API, webhooks, and an AI Skill file. Your agents can query mentions, track keywords, and monitor competitors programmatically. Teams are using us as the social listening layer inside Claude, custom GPT agents, n8n workflows, and internal Slack bots.
What's an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools. Our MCP server lets any compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or your own agent — query your mention data, search by keyword, and get structured results without writing custom API calls.
How does AI relevance scoring work?
Mentions are ranked by how likely they are to matter to your brand — relevance, intent, and noise — so alerts prioritize signal. You can adjust sensitivity over time.
What is Gluon?
Gluon monitors brand and competitor conversations across social platforms, forums, and the open web — with AI filtering, alerts, reply drafts, and optional page-change tracking.
How does pricing and annual billing work?
Published prices are typically per month. Annual plans often include a discount versus paying monthly. You can confirm billing options at signup or in billing settings.
Is there a refund policy?
Refund and cancellation terms are shown when you subscribe. For proration or edge cases, contact support with your workspace email.
