| description | ForumScout platform help — AI social listening across 10M+ forums, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Bluesky, HN, Facebook with natural language AI filtering, sentiment analysis, competitive intelligence, share of voice, auto-replies, and API/MCP via apidirect.io. Use when ForumScout mentions are full of irrelevant noise and you need to tune AI filters, keyword scouts aren't catching conversations you know exist, auto-replies sound generic or are getting flagged, scan frequency feels too slow and you need faster mention detection, you want to connect ForumScout to your CRM or dashboard via webhooks or API, sentiment analysis results don't match what you see in conversations, you need to set up competitive intelligence and share of voice tracking, or you're confused about the difference between ForumScout and API Direct pricing. Do NOT use for social listening strategy across tools (use /sales-social-listening) or choosing between social listening platforms (use /sales-social-listening). |

ForumScout Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
-
What do you need help with?
- A) Setting up scouts and keywords
- B) Reducing noise / tuning AI filters
- C) Sentiment or emotion analysis
- D) Competitive intelligence / share of voice
- E) Auto-replies configuration
- F) API or webhook integration (apidirect.io)
- G) Pricing or plan selection
- H) Something else — describe it
-
Which plan are you on?
- A) Free trial (7-day Pro)
- B) Starter ($19/mo)
- C) Pro ($49/mo)
- D) Ultra ($129/mo)
- E) Not signed up yet
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to Step 2. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the request maps to a broader strategy skill, route:
- Choosing between social listening tools →
/sales-social-listening which social listening tool should I use
- Social media management or publishing →
/sales-social-media-management
- Influencer discovery →
/sales-influencer-marketing
- SEO keyword research →
/sales-seo
- Sales intent signals →
/sales-intent
Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below.
Step 3 — ForumScout platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, integration recipes, code examples.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
You no longer need the platform guide — focus on the user's specific situation.
- Scout setup — design keyword strategy, configure AI filters with natural language rules
- Noise reduction — write specific AI filter descriptions, add negative keywords
- Competitive monitoring — set up competitor scouts, configure share of voice dashboards
