Brand & Social Sentiment

Keeping a pulse on what people say about your brand is a grind. You scroll recent posts, read the comments, flag the ones that need a response, then write replies that sound like you and not a help desk. Do it across accounts and it's a daily time sink. An AI agent can pull the signal and tee up the responses for you.

With Poncho, you point the agent at an account and it surfaces what matters. You name the handle and the kind of comments you care about, and it pulls the recent posts, identifies the most heated threads, gauges sentiment, and drafts on-brand replies you can review and send. No social listening suite to configure.

This page covers how the sentiment workflow runs on Poncho and the template that powers it.

How the Sentiment Workflow Runs

Brand sentiment on Poncho is about turning a noisy feed into a short list of things worth responding to, with the responses already drafted. You give the account and the focus, and the agent reads the room and packages the work.

Say a social manager wants to stay on top of replies. They tell Poncho the Instagram handle, how many recent posts to scan, and the tone to write in. The agent pulls the posts and comments, finds the most heated or high-engagement threads, reads the sentiment, and drafts responses in the brand's voice. What lands is a tidy queue: the comments that need a human, with a suggested reply for each.

The point is that monitoring and responding usually live in different tools. Here the agent does both in sequence, so you go from "what are people saying" to "here are the replies to approve" in one pass.

Templates That Power It

Frequently Asked Questions

Whose accounts can I monitor?

The playbook works on public Instagram accounts, so you can track your own brand or watch how a competitor's audience is reacting. You set the handle and how many recent posts to scan, and the agent pulls the posts and comments from there.

Does it actually write the replies?

Yes. The agent drafts on-brand responses for the comments worth answering, using the tone and voice guidance you provide. The drafts come back for review, so a human stays in the loop. You approve, tweak, or skip each one before anything goes out.

How does it decide which comments matter?

It surfaces the most heated and high-engagement threads, the ones most likely to need a real response, and reads the sentiment so you can triage fast. You can also steer it toward a specific kind of comment, like complaints or product questions, when you set up the run.
