## What it is
A self-hosted Node.js application that monitors influencer posts on Twitter/X and website changes via Firecrawl, then uses LLMs (Together AI, DeepSeek, or OpenAI) to detect emerging trends and product launches. It sends Slack or Discord notifications on a cron-based schedule.

## Use cases
- monitor trending topics on social media with AI
- get notified when influencers tweet about new trends
- track competitor product launches on websites
- automate social media trend monitoring into Slack
- find emerging marketing opportunities in real time
- replace manual social media trend hunting

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, AI-powered social listening tool
- your team uses Slack or Discord and needs instant trend alerts
- you already have X API and Firecrawl API keys
- you want to monitor specific influencers and websites on a schedule

## When to avoid
- you need broad multi-platform social listening beyond Twitter/X
- you cannot tolerate X API free-tier rate limits (1 account per 15 min)
- you want a fully managed SaaS with no setup
- you lack API keys or a Docker environment
