KWatch.io · New York, NY, United States
What it is
KWatch.io monitors social conversations and sends alerts about mentions, sales signals, and competitor activity. Keyword monitoring covers Reddit, X, Hacker News, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, and users can follow Reddit or Hacker News conversations to get alerts when someone comments. AI categorizes sentiment around detected keywords as positive, negative, or neutral. Alerts can arrive by email, Slack notification, or API webhook; webhooks send a JSON-encoded HTTP POST for each result. Keyword rules support included and excluded terms and language filters. The maker says monitoring refreshes per second; notifications usually arrive within seconds and can take up to a minute during temporary congestion. A hosted MCP server works with compatible clients using a KWatch API key, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. Important source limits include no monitoring of LinkedIn or Facebook comments, public-only Facebook groups, and YouTube checks limited to video titles and descriptions rather than audio. Instagram and TikTok are not currently monitored. The free plan includes two Reddit and two Hacker News alerts; paid plans start at $19 per month.
