A narrative is a single recurring story AI tells about your brand, pulled from real responses: “praised for ease of use”, “seen as expensive for small teams”. A theme groups related narratives under a shared topic, such as Pricing or Customer Support. Themes give you the headlines; narratives give you the detail.

The Themes Tab

Each theme is shown as a card with: Search to find a specific theme, or sort by % of responses, Narrative count, or Most negative to surface problems first.

Theme Detail

Click a theme to open it. The header charts daily mentions by sentiment and summarises the key numbers for the period. Below it, three tabs:
  • Overview - the narratives within the theme and how they moved, the sentiment split per AI model (useful when one platform frames a topic differently to the rest), the most cited sources, and when the theme was first and last seen
  • Responses - the AI responses behind the theme, with the relevant excerpts
  • Sources - the web pages cited in those responses

The Narratives Tab

The narrative explorer lists every narrative with filters down the side:
  • Search - find narratives by wording
  • Sentiment - positive or negative
  • Momentum - filter by how narratives are moving (see below)
  • Themes - limit to one or more themes
Sort by % of responses, Largest movement, Latest, or Most negative, and switch between card and compact views.

Momentum

Every narrative carries a momentum badge comparing the selected period to the previous one:
Momentum measures movement, not sentiment. A surging narrative can be praise or a growing problem, so check its sentiment too.

Narrative Detail

Click a narrative to see the full picture:
  • Model Agreement - how often each AI model stated this narrative. Broad agreement means the story is embedded across platforms, not a one-off
  • Related narratives - other stories from the same theme
  • Responses - every response linked to the narrative, with the extracted excerpt
  • Sources - the pages cited in the responses where the narrative appeared. They aren’t tied to the narrative itself, but they show what AI was drawing on in the same answers
  • Lifecycle - when the narrative was first and last seen

Export

Click Export on the Themes or Narratives tab for an Excel download matching your current filters. Theme and narrative detail pages also export their responses and sources.

What to Look For

  • Negative narratives with high % of responses - these shape buyer perception the most, address them first
  • Broad model agreement on inaccuracies - if every platform repeats the same wrong claim, correct it at the source
  • Sources around negative narratives - the pages cited alongside them often point to where PR or content effort will pay off
