Lumen by Talkwalker

Most organizations still learn what's happening on social media and across the web after the moment has already passed — piecing together reports, spreadsheets, and dashboards to catch up with conversations that shifted hours or days earlier. Lumen by Talkwalker is a social listening and intelligence platform that helps brands monitor, analyze, and act on real-time conversations across social media, news, blogs, forums, podcasts, reviews, and AI answers before the window of opportunity closes.

Hootsuite

Most teams are still working with tools and workflows built for a different time — dashboards, approvals, and disconnected systems that slow them down. Many have added AI, but haven’t changed how work gets done. Social moves too fast for that. It’s why we rebuilt Hootsuite with AI as a foundation, not a feature. Hootsuite Social OS helps teams go from reacting after the moment has passed to acting in real time with AI that makes it as easy as chat. That’s how we’re transforming the way teams move, decide, and grow. Less time navigating software. More time acting on ideas.
