Monitoring tools give you a feed of mentions. over:heard gives you what to do about them: every story is assessed, and comes with a response you can send, backed by the sources that ground it.
over:heard reads local dailies, radio, blogs and forums in the languages your customers speak, including colloquial and code-switched language. Setup starts from your website: queries, languages and sources are proposed, you review and activate.
Coverage of the same event is grouped into one story, with its volume over time, so a crisis reads as one thing to handle and not as forty alerts.
Each story is rated as a threat (crisis response) or an opportunity (capitalisation), with severity, urgency and escalation risk, using the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) framework.
An executive summary, a ready-to-send public statement, the risks and openings to watch, the stakeholders concerned and a phased action plan.
Each factual sentence cites a claim checked against a verbatim quote from a dated source, and verified by two independent models. What could not be verified is listed as such, never written as fact.
Assign each phase of the plan to a teammate, share read-only briefings with executives, and when new coverage arrives, review the update as a diff of facts before it is applied. Phases already engaged are never rewritten.
Which sources does over:heard monitor?
Local and national news, radio, blogs and forums, in the languages of your market.
How is an advisory checked?
Every factual sentence is tied to a claim whose quote is checked against its source, and two independent models verify each claim. Unverified points are listed separately.
Can I connect over:heard to my own tools?
Yes: the Partner plan includes a REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) and webhooks, and an MCP server is available for AI assistants.
