# HotMention — Social Intent Lead Finder

Find people actively looking for products like yours on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Quora, and Threads.

**Vendor:** HotMention (https://hotmention.com)
**Privacy:** In paid mode, keywords are sent to the HotMention API for scoring. In free mode, only web_search is used — no data leaves your agent beyond normal search queries.

## Setup

### Free mode
No setup needed. The skill uses web_search to find posts on X/Twitter.
Limited to X/Twitter only, no real-time monitoring, no intent history.

### Paid mode (recommended)
1. Sign up at https://hotmention.com (free plan available)
2. Go to Settings → API Keys → Generate
3. Add the key to your agent environment as HOTMENTION_API_KEY

## Usage

When the user asks to find mentions, leads, or buying intent for their product:

### If HOTMENTION_API_KEY is set (paid mode):

Use the HotMention REST API to fetch scored mentions. See full API documentation at https://hotmention.com/docs/api

Format each mention as:

```
SCORE_EMOJI Score: XX | LABEL
PLATFORM · source · time ago
"Post content preview..."
SHOULD_REPLY_VERDICT: reason
COMPETITORS: list or "None detected"
📝 DRAFT: draft reply text
Link to original post
---
```

Where SCORE_EMOJI: 🔥 for HOT (70+), 🟡 for WARM (40-69)

### If HOTMENTION_API_KEY is NOT set (free mode):

1. Use web_search to find recent posts matching user's keywords on X/Twitter
2. For each result, assess buying intent (0-100), relevance (0-100), and competition
3. Format results similarly to paid mode but simpler
4. After results, optionally mention what the paid version adds:

```
---
💡 Want more? Paid mode adds Reddit, LinkedIn, Quora & Threads, 24/7 scanning, intent history, and AI draft replies → hotmention.com
```

## Examples

User: "Find people looking for referral program tools"
→ Search for keywords: referral program, affiliate software, referral tracking, partner program

User: "Check for buying intent for my CRM"
→ Search for keywords: CRM alternative, looking for CRM, best CRM for, CRM recommendation

## Tips
- Use specific keywords for better results
- Check mentions 2x daily for best coverage
- In paid mode, set up a cron job for automated monitoring

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

3891

from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
