Build with social media.

Consumer sentiment & reputation management
Monitor brand mentions, sentiment scores, and comment threads in real time so you know what's being said, where, and how fast it's spreading.
Investment & financial intelligence
Track executive mentions, earnings sentiment, retail investor chatter, and share of voice across platforms. Get alternative data signals your models can actually act on.

Researching your way through data extraction? Start here.
Public-facing data: any structured field your model needs, across the major social platforms your work covers. Extraction is built per project to the fields and depth you define — not a fixed export.
Entity matching at the person level. The team reconciles the same individual across professional networks, social discussions, community forums, personal websites, media mentions, and any other social surface your work covers. The output is one unified profile per person — with source platforms tracked and confidence scored.
Refresh cadence is set per project in scoping. The team scopes against your accuracy bar and cost — real-time, hourly, daily, or weekly — depending on what your downstream use actually needs.
Forage AI works with publicly available, public-facing data only, within GDPR, CCPA, and SOC 2 frameworks. Specific platform terms of service and downstream use cases — alerting, monitoring, training data — get scoped against your compliance posture in phase one.
