Social Listening Brief
Overview
Research what people are saying publicly across social platforms. This is useful for brand monitoring, category research, product feedback, reputation checks, and understanding recent conversations.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks:
- what are people saying about X?
- monitor this brand/topic/category
- find complaints or praise about a product
- summarize recent social discussion
- compare sentiment across Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Threads
Useful Sources
- Reddit search, subreddit search, posts, comments
- TikTok search top/keyword/hashtag and comments
- YouTube search, transcripts, comments
- Instagram reels search and hashtag search
- LinkedIn post search
- Threads search
- Google search when platform search is not enough
Workflow
- Define topic, aliases, competitor names, and date window.
- Search multiple relevant sources, not every source blindly.
- Keep URLs, dates, platform, engagement metrics, and exact quotes.
- Cluster conversations into themes.
- Separate positive, negative, neutral, and mixed signals.
- Highlight representative examples and action items.

ApifyScrapes social platforms, business data, and e-commerce via Apify actors — Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps, Amazon, and web crawls — filtering in code. USE WHEN scrape Instagram, scrape LinkedIn, scrape TikTok, scrape YouTube, scrape Facebook, Google Maps leads, Amazon reviews, business intelligence, multi-platform social listening, competitive analysis, lead generation, social monitoring, Apify actors, web crawl, extract contacts. NOT FOR X/Twitter account operations like posting, threads, or bookmarks (those need a dedicated X API client), 4-tier progressive scraping with proxy escalation (use BrightData), or real-Chrome bot bypass and computer use (use Interceptor).
Twitter/X SkillSearch and retrieve content from Twitter/X. Get user info, tweets, replies, followers, communities, spaces, and trends via twitterapi.io. Use when user mentions Twitter, X, or tweets.
🎬 YouTube Script: Writing retention-optimized video script...Use this skill when the user says 'YouTube script', 'video script', 'write script for YouTube', 'YouTube video outline', or is creating scripted content for a YouTube video with hooks, chapters, and CTAs. Do NOT use for TikTok/Reels short-form scripts or webinar presentations.
Instagram Audience InsightsRead your Instagram niche and profile from real data via Apify, no login. Scan a hashtag for the posts traveling now (likes, comments, owner) to see the format and hook that works. Pull profile stats for any handle, yours or a competitor's: followers, posts, bio, category. Instagram hides who liked or commented on other accounts, so this is discovery plus profiles, not engagers. Triggers on "what works in my niche", "scan the hashtag", "competitor stats". Not for writing captions (use ig-caption-writer).
