## What you get

Your AI tells you what people say about a brand: the share of each attitude, what they praise and what they complain about, with the posts behind each point.

A platform's search shows posts one at a time and mixes in posts that only use the name in passing. Sorting the ones that are really about the brand, and counting what they say, is hours of reading.

## What it uses

The ready-made tool does the whole job in one request: SocialToAI runs the searches, reads the posts and comments, and returns one result with its sources. Each is priced before it runs.

- [Brand buzz](https://socialtoai.com/tools/brand-buzz.md): How people feel about it on each platform, what comes up most, and the posts behind it. From 16 credits a run.

Your AI can also call the interfaces one at a time. These are the ones this job reads; each costs a fixed number of credits per call.

## A worked example

A real run on the live service, recorded 2026-10-18: the question, the calls the AI chose and what it answered. The credits are what the run was charged.

> What are people on TikTok saying about the Dyson Airwrap?

| Platform | Tool | Sent | Requests | Returned | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| TikTok | [`brand_buzz`](https://socialtoai.com/tools/brand-buzz.md) | `brand: "Dyson Airwrap" · about: "a hair styling tool" · platforms: ["tiktok"] · window: "30d" · scale: "small"` | 1 | 40 videos | 16 |
| **Total** |  |  | 1 | 40 items | **16** |

Recorded 2026-10-18

34 of the 40 posts found are about it: 71% positive, 21% neutral, 9% negative. What they mention most:

1. **Quality** (15%, 5 videos): [“From frizzy to smooth 😋”](https://www.tiktok.com/@mollie.short/video/7695340929477004566)
2. **Ease of use** (15%, 5 videos): [“I promise you will get the hang of it”](https://www.tiktok.com/@jesssheehann/video/7692026409975418144)
3. **Features** (9%, 3 videos): [“this is honestly my favorite attachment of all 😍 I use it the most”](https://www.tiktok.com/@mariialeko/video/7694710100455394592)

Used 16 credits · $0.053. Every claim links to its source.

The posts it rests on, and the same calls as API requests, are in the [whole recorded run](https://socialtoai.com/docs/guides/track-brand-mentions-on-tiktok.md).

16 credits is $0.053 at 300 credits per dollar (purchases from $10) and $0.032 at 500 per dollar (from $200). Failed calls are free, and a search that runs and finds nothing is charged as a call.
