Hello Felo users,
We want to talk to you today about a problem we all face, whether we are developers, marketers, researchers, or just curious individuals.
The problem is noise.
We all know that X (formerly Twitter) is the world’s town square. It is where news breaks, where trends are born, where customers complain, and where competitors announce their next big move. It is a goldmine of real-time human data. But let’s be honest: trying to extract actual value from X often feels like trying to drink from a firehose.
You scroll. You search for a keyword. You get bombarded with bots, spam, irrelevant memes, and disjointed conversations. By the time you find that one golden insight, you’ve wasted an hour of your day.
At Felo, we asked ourselves: What if we could give you an AI research assistant that doesn't just "search" X, but actually reads, understands, and organizes it for you?
Today, we are quietly but proudly rolling out Felo X Research.
This isn't just a search bar. It’s a dedicated engine designed to deep-dive into X, filter out the noise, and present you with structured, actionable insights.
We want to walk you through exactly how this works and, more importantly, how you can use it to make your work life significantly easier.
The Philosophy: Why "X Research"?
Standard AI models are great, but they often lack real-time context. If you ask a standard model about a bug that happened ten minutes ago, or a trend that started this morning, it might struggle.
Felo X Research bridges that gap. We have designed a new interface (which you might have noticed popping up in your dashboard) specifically tailored for social listening.
When you look at the new input box, you’ll see prompts like "Brand Monitoring," "Find Leads," and "Competitor Intel." These aren't just buttons; they are workflows.
Here is a breakdown of the six core scenarios we built this feature around, and how you can use them today.
1. Finding Leads (Without the Cold Calling)
For freelancers, agency owners, and sales teams, the "Find Leads" capability might be the most valuable tool in your arsenal.
Think about it: right now, somewhere on X, someone is complaining about your competitor’s product or explicitly asking for a recommendation for a product just like yours.
The Old Way: You search for "recommendation" and scroll through thousands of unrelated tweets.
The Felo Way: You can ask Felo: "Find Twitter (X) users who, within the last 30 days, have posted about needing or searching for AI PPT / slide generation solutions. Output the results in a well-organized table."
Felo goes to work. It doesn't just find the keyword; it looks for intent. It filters out the noise and returns a structured table of potential leads. You get a list of real humans expressing a real need. All you have to do is engage with them. It transforms X from a distraction into a sales pipeline.
2. Brand Monitoring: Hearing the Whole Story
If you run a product or manage a brand, you know that mentions aren't always tagged. People talk about you, not always to you.
With the Brand Monitoring feature, you can analyze public sentiment over specific timeframes. But we wanted to go deeper than just "positive" or "negative."
You can ask Felo to "Analyze public sentiment and reviews about [Your Brand] on Twitter over the last month."
Felo will summarize the general vibe. Are people confused? Are they excited? Is there a specific feature everyone is talking about? Instead of reading 500 tweets, you read one comprehensive summary that captures the essence of the conversation.
3. Competitor Intelligence: The "Why" Behind the Switch
One of the most fascinating things to research is why users switch products. This is often where your best product roadmap ideas come from.
In our new Competitor Intel scenario, we encourage you to look for the "Switching" narrative.
For example, you can try: "Find tweets where users mention switching from ChatGPT to other tools or considering alternatives."
This is powerful. Felo will surface the specific pain points that are driving users away from a competitor. Maybe they are complaining about pricing, or speed, or a specific missing feature. By understanding why users are leaving your competitors, you can position your product to welcome them with open arms.
4. Industry Trends: Catching the Wave
Trends move fast. By the time a trend piece is written on a tech blog, the conversation on X has already moved on.
Our Industry Trends feature allows you to take a snapshot of the current discourse.
Let’s say you are in the presentation software space. You can ask: "How is the discussion volume regarding AI slide-generation tools trending on Twitter? analyze the past week."
Felo can analyze the volume and intensity of the discussion. Is the topic heating up? Is it dying down? What are the sub-topics emerging within that trend? This allows content creators and marketers to create content that is timely and relevant, rather than reacting to yesterday’s news.
5. Customer Issues: The Early Warning System
Sometimes, a bug report doesn't come through your official support ticket system. It comes in the form of an angry tweet at 2 AM.
The Customer Issues scenario is your safety net.
You can set up a search to "Search for recent tweets reporting bugs or errors with [Your Product] to see what issues users are facing."
This is about empathy and speed. If you can catch a server issue or a UX glitch because Felo surfaced three or four tweets about it, you can fix it before it becomes a PR disaster. It helps you stay proactive rather than reactive.
6. Campaign Tracking: Measuring Impact
Finally, for the marketers among us, tracking a hashtag campaign is notoriously difficult without expensive enterprise tools.
With Campaign Tracking, you can simply ask Felo: "Track how many people are tweeting with #Livedoc over the last few days."
Felo gives you the breakdown. You get to see if your hashtag is gaining traction, who the key influencers are that are using it, and the general context in which it is being used.
A Note on the Interface: Keeping it Simple
We worked hard to keep the UI for Felo X Research as clean as possible.
You will notice a large text area where you can type your query in natural language. You don't need to learn boolean search operators (like "AND," "OR," "-filter"). Just talk to Felo like you would a colleague.
Voice Input: We also know that sometimes your best ideas come when you aren't ready to type. You will see a small, blue microphone icon in the bottom right corner. Click it, and just say what you are looking for. "Hey Felo, see if anyone is complaining about the latest iOS update battery life." It’s that simple.
Our Commitment to "Honest" Search
We want to be transparent with you: Felo X Research is a window into public data. The quality of the insights depends on the quality of the conversation happening on X.
Sometimes, the internet is just noisy. Sometimes, there are no leads to be found for a very niche topic. Felo will be honest with you. If it can't find relevant data, it won't hallucinate a fake trend just to make you happy. We believe that "no data found" is a valid and useful search result—it tells you that perhaps that market doesn't exist yet, or that conversation hasn't started.
Try It Out
This feature is live now. We invite you to play with it.
Don't just use it for work. Use it to satisfy your curiosity. Research a hobby. See what people are saying about your favorite sports team. Look up the real reaction to a movie trailer.
We built Felo X Research because we believe that hidden within the millions of tweets sent every day are answers to questions that can change your business. You just needed a better way to find them.
Now, you have one.
As always, we are building this for you. If you find a bug, or if you have an idea for a "Scenario" card we should add, please let us know. We are listening.
Happy Researching,
The Felo Team
