About Meltwater
Meltwater pivots toward monitoring brand presence inside LLM answers, not just media coverage.
Meltwater's Year-End '25 release is the biggest move on the board: predictive analytics for forecasting which mentions will become real trends, GenAI Lens for tracking brand presence inside ChatGPT and Gemini answers, and unified dashboards merging paid, earned, and owned media in one view. Mira Studio is shipping agentic content artifacts (Roundups, Briefings, Coverage Reports), and the alert system is moving toward automatic opt-in for spikes and sentiment shifts.
