How a tracker works In pilot

Say what you want to hear about. We listen for it.

A tracker starts from one sentence. You see what we understood before you save it, and what it would have caught.

Who it’s for

For teams who need to know who said it

“Our CEO said” and “someone mentioned our CEO” are different alerts. These are the teams that feel the difference.

Comms and PR teams

Know when your executives and your competitors’ executives speak, in their exact words, not every time their names come up.

A tracker you might write

Our CEO, or any competitor’s CEO, on pricing

Government and public affairs teams

What the people shaping AI policy say outside the hearing room, word for word, with who said it.

A tracker you might write

AI lab leaders on safety rules and regulation

Investors

What executives say between earnings calls, with the speaker and the second, sent as it’s said.

A tracker you might write

Chip company CEOs on demand for AI servers

Reporters and newsrooms

The exact quote, the speaker and the second, with a page your desk can cite.

How we name speakers

A name only when the evidence agrees

The speaker is the point of a quote, so we would rather say we’re unsure than guess.

When we name someone

The show’s own transcript names them, or two different kinds of evidence agree and none disagree: the host asking the questions, a guest named in the episode’s title or description, someone saying “I’m…”, or someone else saying their name.

When we can’t

The quote says “Speaker unconfirmed”. Trackers hold those back unless you ask for them too.

No voice prints

We name people from what is said and written about an episode, never from a stored voice. Nothing about a voice is kept once an episode is processed.

How we name speakers, in full

We found it’s better to teach the model some basic principles like what it should prioritize, how it should reason about what the right thing to do is.

Compared with keyword monitoring

What changes when the speaker is named

Most monitoring tools match keywords and don’t say who is speaking. They’re built for breadth across many kinds of media. PodData is built for the quote.

What you need	PodData	Keyword monitoring
Who is speaking	Named on every quote, or marked unconfirmed	Usually not said
How it matches	By meaning, from one sentence you write (in pilot)	By keywords and Boolean rules
What you get	The exact words, the second, and a page to cite	A mention and a link to the episode
What’s covered	A named list of shows, with its date	Counts of sources, across many kinds of media

Keyword monitoring here means media-monitoring suites such as Meltwater, Cision and Muck Rack, as their own pages describe their alerts, read Nov 12, 2026. The full comparison.
