How it works

Paste a URL.
Get insights instantly.

No setup. No configuration. Drop any URL and CommentAction figures out the rest in minutes.

01
Paste any URL
A YouTube channel, a single video, or a Discourse forum. CommentAction detects the type automatically and fetches the comments.
02
We analyze
Comments are clustered by theme, sentiment, and intent. What keeps coming up. What nobody has answered. What people keep asking for.
03
Pick your lens
Creator lens tells you what to make next. Builder lens tells you what to build next. Same data. Two angles. Clear direction.
Why comment intelligence

Your audience is already telling you what to do.
Nobody's listening.

Surveys get 2% response rates. Support tickets only capture complaints. NPS gives you a number, not a direction. Meanwhile, thousands of unsolicited, high-signal comments sit in your YouTube and Discourse threads — the largest unstructured feedback dataset you're ignoring.

Surveys
2% response rate
You ask, they ignore. Tiny sample sizes and leading questions.
Support tickets
Only complaints
Biased toward problems. Misses demand, validation, and opportunity.
Community comments
Thousands of signals
Unsolicited. Authentic. Full of demand, confusion, validation, and praise — if you know how to read them.
Signal classification

Every comment is a signal.
We classify each one.

Most tools count sentiment. CommentAction classifies intent. Every comment gets labeled — demand, confusion, validation, frustration, or praise — so you know exactly what your audience wants, where they're stuck, and what they love.

  • Demand signals surface unmet needs and content gaps
  • Confusion signals reveal friction points and documentation failures
  • Validation signals confirm what's working and resonating
  • Frustration and praise complete the picture
DEMAND"Can you make a tutorial on this?"
CONFUSION"Doesn't work on Mac — help?"
VALIDATION"Exactly what I was looking for"
FRUSTRATION"Still broken after the update"
PRAISE"This saved me hours, thank you!"
DEMAND"Please do a deep dive comparison"
Themes & sentiment

See what keeps coming up.
And how they feel about it.

Comments cluster into themes automatically. Each theme gets a sentiment breakdown so you can separate "people love our onboarding" from "people hate our pricing." Prioritize by volume and emotional weight.

  • Automatic topic clustering from raw comment text
  • Sentiment breakdown per theme — not just overall
  • Volume-weighted so you focus on what most people care about

Trend tracking

Watch your audience shift
over time.

Re-analyze the same source weeks later. CommentAction tracks how themes rise and fall, how sentiment changes, and when new signals appear. Your audience went from excited to confused after your pricing change — now you'll know.

  • Re-analyze any source to see what changed
  • Sentiment trends reveal the impact of product decisions
  • New theme detection catches emerging topics early
