Perception monitors 1,000+ sources across digital asset media, social, earnings calls, and filings in real time. Everything gets sentiment-scored and trend-clustered. You access it through the dashboard, connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini via MCP, or build on the API. Board updates, competitive reports, earnings analysis, minutes instead of hours, with full citations.

Are reports unlimited?

Yes. All Perception subscribers get unlimited reports, briefs, tracking, and alerts. No usage caps.

Is there a free trial?

We offer a 14-day evaluation period.

How is this different from Google Alerts?

Google Alerts tells you something was published. Perception tells you what it means: sentiment, narrative context, competitive positioning, and how it connects to everything else being said. Plus, Perception covers sources Google doesn't index, podcasts, earnings calls, analyst research, and social. And we generate cited deliverables you can actually use.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT turns your question into a few Google searches and summarizes what ranks on page one. Page one is content written to rank: rewritten press releases, aggregator sites, contributor columns. The signal in digital assets lives elsewhere: SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, conference keynotes, the 220+ X accounts that actually drive narrative, paywalled Bloomberg and WSJ pieces the crawl can't reach. Perception has been reading those sources since 2019 and structuring the output into a queryable corpus. ChatGPT is the interface. Perception is the data layer underneath it. Connect us directly to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini via MCP and get AI grounded in real-time, cited data.

Does Perception work with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?

Yes. Perception connects to all major AI platforms via the MCP protocol. Ask questions in natural language inside ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and get answers grounded in 1,000+ real-time sources with full citations. Set up takes under a minute.

What are the MCP rate limits?

Standard ($249/mo) includes the full dashboard, real-time Slack/Telegram alerts, and unlimited keywords. Intelligence ($799/mo) unlocks the developer API and the Perception MCP server for local AI integration with unlimited queries, subject to a global rate limit of 60 requests per minute.

Can I provide feedback or request features?

Yes. Email support or use the in-app feedback button. User input shapes the roadmap.

Teams use Perception to replace Meltwater, Brand24, and Muck Rack. That's about $18,000 a year back.

↳ Cited by

14,000 mentions across 1,000+ sources this week. The signal that mattered was scattered across news, social, podcasts, and filings.

Legacy tools like Meltwater and Brand24 lack context. They flood you with unfiltered noise without connecting disparate signals.

AI models like Claude and ChatGPT lack live context. They miss emerging trends and produce stale consensus.

Perception is the antidote. We stream the exact signal directly to your Slack, dashboard, or AI models.

zero homogenized noise

Traditional media trackers flood corporate desks with unfiltered, duplicate press releases. Standard LLMs rely on stale, averaged search engine scraping. Perception bridges the structural gap: connecting isolated enterprise AI instances directly to curated, channel-weighted primary data streams.

How fast it updates	Real-time alerts, but restricted to simple keyword matches.	Static directory records. Relies on manual profile updates or delayed job-change reporting.	Stale training cutoffs or slow live search latency.	Live stream-piped narratives updating every 90 seconds.
Filtering out spam	Unfiltered slop. Includes noise from bot networks and duplicate releases.	Highly filtered but requires human curators to verify lists and beat updates.	Consensus noise. Repeats averaged web summaries.	Zero duplicate noise. 100% clean streams from 1,000+ curated primary sources.
