The backstory
Brand24 crawls social networks, news and forums for brand mentions and reports sentiment and reach. Collecting that firehose is real work and it is not something a chatbot can do on demand. The threat is a shift in what marketers want monitored, as attention moves toward how AI assistants describe a brand. Established mention monitoring still sells, but the growth story now belongs to the AI visibility tools.
