Brand24 keeps adding listening surfaces, and Threads is the latest.
Brand24 has spent the past four months widening what it can hear: spoken mentions in YouTube and TikTok audio, AI-model visibility tracking, and now public Threads conversations. Alongside the new sources it has added precision tools such as Boolean Advanced Search and an Owned vs. Earned channel filter, which help users cut noise from a growing mention stream.
Statusbrew lets Claude and ChatGPT reply to comments and DMs from its Engage inbox.
Statusbrew is a social media management suite that ships near-daily small updates. On 9 and 10 November its MCP gained the ability for AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT to reply to comments, DMs, mentions and reviews in the Engage inbox, showing the reply before sending. Reports added four Meta ad metrics, including purchases and cost per result, and Compose now shows where long X posts collapse behind See more.
Brand24 has spent the past four months widening what it can hear: spoken mentions in YouTube and TikTok audio, AI-model visibility tracking, and now public Threads conversations. Alongside the new sources it has added precision tools such as Boolean Advanced Search and an Owned vs. Earned channel filter, which help users cut noise from a growing mention stream.
The pattern is coverage first, then filtering. Each new source (video transcripts, LLM answers, Threads) raises mention volume, and the follow-up releases help users narrow it. Combined with the agentic Brand Assistant and the ChatGPT app, Brand24 is moving toward being a queryable intelligence layer rather than a mention feed.
The cadence suggests another source or source-depth expansion within a month or two. Which network comes next is not clear from the entries.

Statusbrew is moving from reporting and scheduling toward letting outside AI assistants act inside the product, starting with inbox replies under the user's own name and permissions. The reporting work keeps closing gaps with the networks' own numbers, now extending to Meta ad results and purchases.
More Engage and Publish actions exposed through the MCP is the likely next step, given the confirm-before-send pattern used here; the entries do not show plans for fully automatic replies.
