Key takeaways

The short version.

  • Most people learn about an opinion shift from X after it has already played out.
  • OpinionPulse joins public poll headlines, Polymarket and Kalshi prices and an X volume label for a topic you name.
  • Alerts tell you when opinion on a topic you follow shifts, and every source is attached.
  • Get alerts by text, email, or in your favorite AI; a personal AI such as Instinct or Muse is the natural fit.
  • It reports data only: no advice, no trades, no vote calls.

Who it is for

Why do I always notice opinion shifts on X too late?

  • Here is the problem.

  • Checking by hand does not fix it.

  • OpinionPulse is for people who follow a topic and want the full picture without the legwork: reporters, campaign and communications staff,…

Here is the problem. A topic starts to move, a new poll comes out, and by the time you see it, X is already full of takes. The loud posts make it feel like everyone just changed their mind, but you cannot tell whether that is a real shift or just a busy afternoon.

Checking by hand does not fix it. Poll headlines sit in one place, prediction market prices in another, and the mood on X somewhere else. Each one alone can mislead you. A spike in posts is not a poll. A single poll is not a trend. Market prices can lag behind new information, or run ahead of it.

OpinionPulse is for people who follow a topic and want the full picture without the legwork: reporters, campaign and communications staff, researchers, analysts, and anyone who simply wants to know whether the ground is moving. You name a topic. It joins the latest public poll headlines with the overlapping Polymarket and Kalshi prices and an X volume label, then tells you whether opinion is shifting, with every source attached.

It is data, not advice. It does not tell you how to vote, what to believe or what to trade, and it never acts on its own.

Use cases

4 ways people use Opinion shifts on X: how to see them early.

  1. Poll first

    1. A new poll lands before the markets react

    Say you follow a policy debate for work. A new public poll comes out in the morning, and you are in meetings until noon. By then X has opinions, but you do not know whether the poll actually changed anything.

    OpinionPulse flags the moment a new poll on your topic lands and the prediction markets on it have not caught up yet. The alert gives you the poll, the market prices and the sources. You open the poll, check the prices, and decide whether it belongs in your afternoon briefing.

  2. Signal or noise

    2. Telling a real shift from a noisy day on X

    A topic is suddenly everywhere on X. Is that opinion moving, or just people talking? The X volume label shows how busy the conversation is, and OpinionPulse sets it next to the polls and market prices.

    If the poll headlines and the Polymarket and Kalshi prices point the same way, it reports a shift. If only the volume is up, you know the buzz is not backed by the other sources. You then hold off on writing that the mood has turned.

  3. Ask anytime

    3. Checking a topic on demand through your AI

    Sometimes you do not want an alert, you just want an answer before a call. On the free plan you can ask about any topic anytime through the API or MCP, from an AI assistant you have connected.

    You ask whether opinion is moving, and the answer comes back with what each source shows: the recent poll headlines, the overlapping market prices and the X volume label. You walk into the call knowing where things stand, and you can open each source if someone asks.

  4. Watch list

    4. Keeping a watch list without refreshing tabs

    If you follow several topics, such as a race, a ballot question or a policy fight, keeping tabs on all of them is a chore. Pick the topics you want to watch in the app, and Premium alerts you when opinion on one of them shifts. Premium is free during the beta.

    You stop refreshing pages and wait for the alert. When one arrives, you open the sources it attached and take it from there.
