Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alexandr-belogubov/hotmentionWhat This Skill Does
HotMention is an advanced social intent monitoring tool integrated directly into your OpenClaw agent. It bridges the gap between active social conversations and your sales pipeline by scanning platforms like Reddit, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Quora, and Threads for users explicitly expressing buying intent. By analyzing keywords, sentiment, and context, the skill surfaces high-value leads before your competitors do. It operates in two modes: a Free mode utilizing standard web search for quick X-based queries, and a Paid mode that leverages the HotMention API for comprehensive cross-platform monitoring, intent scoring, and automated lead intelligence.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the OpenClaw environment configured. Install the skill by running the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alexandr-belogubov/hotmention. For full functionality, visit HotMention to generate an API key. Once obtained, set this as an environment variable in your agent configuration under HOTMENTION_API_KEY. If you choose not to use the API key, the skill will automatically default to the restricted free mode, which provides limited utility exclusively on X/Twitter without real-time tracking.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for B2B founders, sales representatives, and community managers who want to automate lead generation. Use it to:
- Identify prospects actively asking for alternatives to your competitors.
- Monitor niche forums for pain points that your product specifically solves.
- Engage with high-intent leads on platforms like LinkedIn and Reddit by providing helpful, non-spammy responses.
- Build a consistent feedback loop by monitoring what people say about your product or category in real-time.
Example Prompts
- "Find people currently looking for referral program tools or affiliate software on LinkedIn and Reddit."
- "Check for buying intent for a CRM—look for posts asking for CRM recommendations or alternatives to Salesforce."
- "Show me the latest discussions on Threads and X regarding AI-powered video editing tools."
Tips & Limitations
To maximize your lead quality, use highly specific keywords rather than broad industry terms. For example, instead of searching for 'CRM', use 'best CRM for small agencies' or 'migrating from Hubspot'. In paid mode, we recommend scheduling the skill to run twice daily. Note that the free mode is limited to X/Twitter and lacks the sophisticated scoring mechanisms provided by the HotMention API. Always review automated drafts before posting to maintain an authentic brand voice.
