X Research — Market Intelligence from X
Know what the market actually thinks — not just what gets posted.
What It Does
X Research gives your ProductiveBot the ability to run live market research on X (formerly Twitter) on demand. You ask a question — "What are people saying about [topic]?" — and your bot returns a structured intelligence brief minutes later.
Under the hood, X Research uses the Grok API to search X for top posts on any topic, then reads the full reply threads to understand context. It classifies each signal by intent — complaints, feature requests, switching signals, buying intent — and assembles a structured brief that cuts through the noise.
Grok API Search
First-party X data via the Grok API — not scraping, not third-party aggregators. You get the real signal from the actual platform.
Reply Thread Reading
Goes beyond the top-level post. X Research reads full reply threads to capture the real conversation, not just the headline take.
Intent Classification
Each signal is labeled: complaint, feature request, switching signal, buying intent, or neutral. So you know what actually matters.
Structured Brief Format
Output is always a clean, scannable brief — not a wall of raw posts. Headline finding, key signals, standout quotes, top threads, and a "So What" takeaway.
What You Get
Every X Research query returns a brief in this format:
Example Use Cases
Competitor Monitoring
Search your competitor's name weekly. Spot product complaints, pricing backlash, and churn signals before they show up in your pipeline.
Trend Spotting
Search a topic in your space. Know what is gaining traction — and what is fading — faster than any newsletter or analyst report.
Customer Pain Discovery
Search for the problem your product solves. Find the exact language customers use — then put it in your copy.
Brand Monitoring
Search your own brand name. Catch negative sentiment early, find unsolicited testimonials, and respond before things escalate.
Launch Timing
Search the conversation around a category before you launch into it. Know whether the market is hot, saturated, or frustrated right now.
Morning Brief
Set up a recurring brief — your bot delivers a daily or weekly market intelligence summary without you having to ask.
