Overheard Install Guide
This Overheard keeps watch on Reddit, Hacker News, X and news sites for times other people mention you, your brand or your web addresses. When something turns up, it sends a short weekday report.
This page is the official share link version by Lenny Rachitsky, who contrasted it with Google Alerts in a post on X. Our separate Overheard page explains how to build a similar bot yourself.
It suits founders, creators and marketers who want to know when people talk about them. Add the spellings people really use for your brand, and reply where it helps rather than to every mention.
