Twigest — A Daily AI Digest of Twitter/X Activity for Your Brand, Competitors & Keywords

Twigest is an AI-powered social listening tool that monitors X/Twitter for specified brands, competitors, and keywords, then delivers a single daily digest via email, Slack, or Telegram instead of a real-time notification stream. It uses a two-pass AI model to classify tweets into five sentiment categories and synthesize a structured summary, offering features like share-of-voice calculations, spike alerts, and agency-tier workspaces. The tool is designed for users who need to track multiple brands or keywords without relying on X's native notifications or expensive enterprise API access.

If you run a brand, manage social media, or just want to know what's said about your product on X/Twitter, you've probably tried the same thing I tried first: native notifications, TweetDeck, search columns, hashtag pages. Here's what nobody admits: none of that scales past one keyword. Add a second brand to track, a competitor handle, a misspelling, a niche term — and the firehose breaks you. You stop checking. You miss the angry quote-tweet at 11pm on a Saturday. You don't see the share-of-voice shift until the next quarterly review. I built Twigest because I needed it. It's a tool that watches X/Twitter for whatever you tell it to watch, runs everything through AI classification, and delivers one structured digest per day — to email, Slack, or Telegram. This post explains what it does, who it's for, and how it's different from the dozen monitoring tools that already exist. Twigest is an AI-powered Twitter monitoring and social listening tool that sends you a daily digest of what mattered on X/Twitter — instead of a real-time notification firehose. You connect what you want tracked: Twigest runs its own scraping pipeline no X API access needed, no developer account, no $5,000/mo Enterprise tier , classifies every captured tweet across 5 sentiment categories — positive, negative, angry, excited, neutral — and writes a summary every 24 hours. You get the summary in your inbox, your team Slack channel, or a Telegram bot. Pick whichever you actually read. You don't have a community manager. You can't afford to scroll. You need to know if someone's complaining about your product before it goes viral, and you need to know which competitors are gaining momentum without sitting on X all day. Twigest replaces 200 notifications with one 5-minute morning read. You're tracking 5+ brands across 30+ keywords. Native X notifications miss 40-60% of brand conversation because most people don't @-tag your handle — they just type the brand name. You're also expected to surface "share of voice" against competitors weekly. Twigest gives you SOV calculations per digest, sentiment trends per keyword, and named-group monitoring one digest per client . You manage Twitter for 10+ clients. Each client wants a branded report. You can't manually screenshot dashboards every Monday. Twigest Agency tier gives you 100 keywords + 200 accounts across separate client workspaces, each with its own branded digest output. You need to spot a brewing crisis within minutes, not hours. You need a paper trail of mentions when a complaint escalates. Spike alerts fire on the next hourly check when a tracked keyword crosses a 3x rolling 7-day baseline — typically within an hour of the surge. Real comparison, no marketing fluff: The trade-off: Twigest is Twitter/X-only. If you need Reddit, LinkedIn, news mentions in one dashboard, the multi-platform tools win. If your brand conversation happens primarily on X — and for SaaS, dev tools, finance, crypto, media, gaming, that's usually true — Twigest is faster, cheaper, and more accurate. Six sections, in this order: Plans: The free tier isn't a 14-day trial — it's permanent. The upsell hook isn't quality, it's quantity more keywords, more mentions per digest, faster alerts . Two-pass model architecture, optimized per plan tier: Pass 1 — Classify. Every captured tweet runs through a fast small-context model with reasoning disabled. For each tweet it assigns: This pass is cheap — fractions of a cent per tweet. Pass 2 — Synthesize. The top-N classified tweets sorted by priority get fed into a stronger reasoning model that writes the actual digest prose — top mentions, summary, suggested actions. Higher plan tiers use stronger synthesis models. This pass is where the writing quality lives. The model knows the brand context you provide a short description at signup , knows the plan tier so it adjusts depth , and knows the language digest output matches your account language preference . Two-pass instead of one-pass because: classifying 1,000 tweets with a reasoning model would cost dollars per digest. Classifying with a nano-tier model then synthesizing only the top 25 costs cents. Same output quality where it matters — in the prose you actually read. This is the question everyone asks first. X/Twitter's official API costs $5,000/month for production-grade access. Most monitoring tools either: Twigest runs its own data pipeline using Twikit — a browser-session-based Python client that authenticates the same way a logged-in user does. We rotate multiple authenticated accounts "twikit pool" pattern to distribute the read load, and we cache aggressively at the keyword level so the same query isn't hit twice. The trade-off: we don't have real-time webhooks X doesn't offer those at a price we could pass to a $9/mo plan anyway . Our resolution is hourly polling with spike detection running on the same hourly cadence. For "what mattered today?", that's plenty. For arbitrage trading, look elsewhere. No. Twigest runs its own data pipeline independent of paid API tiers. Signup is email + password. No developer account, no API key. Three things in one stream: Daily digests arrive every morning at your chosen time. Spike alerts run on hourly checks — when a tracked keyword crosses a 3x rolling 7-day baseline, the alert fires on the next check typically within an hour . Available on Pro and above. Yes. Replies and quote-tweets matching your keywords are captured. Thread context is preserved when the AI writes the summary, so you see why a quote-tweet matters, not just the tweet itself. Add each common misspelling as a separate keyword. Pro = 10 keywords, Business = 30. Misspellings account for 8-15% of brand mentions on X for most consumer brands — adding the top 3 covers most of it. Yes. Business and Agency tiers support named topic groups with white-label branding. Business covers up to 5 topics with 3 team seats; Agency covers up to 10 topics with 10 team seats. Yes, permanent. Free covers 3 keywords + 3 accounts with a weekly digest at $0/mo. No credit card required. Sign up for the free tier at twigest.com. Add 3 keywords your brand name + 2 misspellings, or your brand + 2 competitors , connect an email, and you'll get your first digest within 24 hours. If the digest is useful, upgrade to Pro for $9/mo to unlock 10 keywords, 15 accounts, daily delivery, and spike alerts. If it's not, the free tier stays free forever.
