In today's digital age, social listening is essential for global businesses. It allows companies to tap into millions of social media conversations and informs crucial marketing strategies.

However, traditional social media dashboards can be challenging to interpret as they are typically heavy with data. At Talkwalker our next-gen social listening solves these challenges!

The challenge of social listening dashboards

Social media dashboards are popular as a main tool for monitoring social media conversations. Yet, navigating these dashboards can present challenges for users. 

Traditional dashboards primarily focus on quantitative data, under-serving users by focusing on the "what" without providing the "why." 

This means that users often need to invest time and effort in additional analysis to find meaningful insights from the data. This is especially true of businesses that monitor a high volume of social media conversations.

Including the above graph in your social media dashboard gives some insight, but only presents partial information. While it reveals spikes in brand conversations, it lacks detailed explanations on why those spikes are happening.

This provides several roadblocks.

  • Analysis of the data requires more time to understand the underlying reasons.
  • This situation can create an insights bottleneck. Not everyone with access to the dashboard will possess the expertise to interpret the data and take prompt action

By addressing these challenges, you can unlock actionable insights and drive informed decision-making.

The next-gen dashboard solution - understanding the ‘why’

Talkwalker's next-gen social listening offers a game-changing solution to these challenges. By leveraging generative AI technology, Talkwalker's next-gen social listening provides deeper insights into social media conversations.

This goes beyond quantitative data to uncover qualitative insights such as analyzing conversations, sentiment, and context. Talkwalker's AI-powered solution helps uncover the "why" behind social media metrics. This helps democratize data and dashboards across your business, with no one stuck on data analysis.

We are doing this in two ways:

AI Summaries

We've now added AI Summaries to our platform. You can seamlessly incorporate these summaries into dashboards, reports, and alerts. Helping you get more insights, more quickly. 

Powered by Blue Silk™ GPT, AI Summaries transform extensive data and conversations into clear, concise, and insightful content. They do the heavy lifting of reading and interpreting mentions from all your social media channels. Turning them into easy, actionable insights.

Continuing with the Lyft example, this AI Summary quickly uncovers the why behind the spike of brand mentions. In this case, a small social media crisis happened because of a lost cat. By including this summary into your dashboard, stakeholders can quickly understand the situation and build a real-time response.

With unlimited flexibility to meet your needs, you can add summaries based on:

  • Markets,
  • Locations,
  • Target audience segments,
  • Sentiment drivers,
  • Competitive analysis,
  • Industry topics,
  • And more.

They provide a quick understanding of the situation for all stakeholders. Enabling dashboard users to focus more time on action and less time on analysis.
