Tool

Web Search

After a product launch, understanding how the market responds is critical for measuring success and planning follow-up actions. Coverage happens across tech blogs, industry news sites, social media, and community forums, and it unfolds over days and weeks, not hours.

ToolRouter's news_search skill surfaces press coverage and media mentions of your launch, while the search skill catches blog posts, forum discussions, and community reactions that fall outside traditional news sources. Together they give you the complete picture of how your announcement landed.

This tracking is essential for PR teams measuring campaign ROI, product teams gathering initial market feedback, and executives reporting launch results to stakeholders. The first 48 hours after launch are the most critical, but meaningful coverage and reactions often continue for weeks.

Claude tracks product launch coverage across news and web sources, then helps you analyze the response in real time. Ask it to compare coverage volume against your last launch, identify which publications picked up your story, segment reactions by sentiment, or draft follow-up pitches for publications that missed the announcement.
