The thread goes cold fast
A question about your SDK gets its best answers in the first hours; after that the asker has moved on, often to a workaround or a competitor. Mentions arrive in your inbox with AI-scored relevance and sentiment, tagged as questions, with a deep link straight to the thread. You reply on the platform, as yourself, which is the only reply developers actually trust.
Signal, not firehose
Keyword monitoring without filtering is unusable: too many hits, most of them noise. BackTalk runs AI relevance filtering before anything reaches you, so a keyword like your product's name yields the threads that matter, not every string collision on the internet. What is left is a handful of moments a human should handle.
Frequently asked questions
Which platforms does it watch for questions?
Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow, dev.to, YouTube, Bluesky, LinkedIn public posts, Substack, Medium and more. Hacker News, dev.to and GitHub work with no setup; YouTube and Stack Overflow need a free official key; Reddit, Substack, Medium and LinkedIn run through one metered Brave Search key.
How do I avoid drowning in noise?
AI filtering scores every mention for relevance before it reaches the inbox, and you can add exclude terms, variants, and global ignore lists. Irrelevant mentions are filtered, not just sorted, so the inbox stays a work queue rather than a feed.
Can I get alerted immediately?
Syncs run on a schedule per your plan, and webhook destinations (Slack, Discord, or any JSON endpoint) push new signals to where your team already is. Email digests batch the same signals daily, weekly or monthly per member.
