The research data sources Dialog connects to for comprehensive intelligence
Dialog connects to multiple specialized data sources to give your agent comprehensive research coverage. Each source is optimized for a different type of intelligence gathering.
Reddit Research
Enabled by default for all agents. Reddit Research gives your agent deep access to community discussions across the platform.
Discover subreddits relevant to any topic or industry
Fetch posts and comments with full thread context
Analyze sentiment across discussions and communities
Semantic search to find conversations by meaning, not keywords
Reddit is Dialog’s foundational data source — it powers everything from competitive intelligence to customer discovery and pain point analysis.
Discourse Forums
Search and read content from Discourse-powered community forums and support sites.
Search forum topics across categories and tags
Read full posts and replies with author context
Browse categories to understand community structure
Discourse forums are common for open-source projects, SaaS products, and developer communities, making this source valuable for technical research and product feedback.
Web Search & Scraping
Search the open web and extract content from any public page.
Search the web using natural language queries
Extract page content from specific URLs
Crawl websites to gather content across multiple pages
Extract structured data from pages into organized formats
This source works well alongside Reddit and social media — use it to pull official documentation, blog posts, news articles, or product pages into your research.
Social Media Intelligence
Access posts, profiles, and engagement data across major social platforms.
Instagram
Profiles, posts, reels, and comments. Useful for brand monitoring and influencer research.
Facebook
Posts and company reviews. Good for understanding public brand perception and customer feedback.
TikTok
Profiles, posts, and comments. Helpful for tracking trends and content performance in short-form video.
YouTube
Profiles, videos, and comments. Valuable for product reviews, tutorials, and audience sentiment analysis.
X (Twitter)
Posts and public discussions. Strong for real-time sentiment, industry conversations, and thought leader tracking.
Business Intelligence
Pull company data from professional databases. Useful for competitive analysis, market mapping, and lead research when you need structured company or professional profile information.
App Store Data
Access reviews and listings from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This source is especially useful for product teams tracking user feedback, monitoring competitor app ratings, and identifying feature requests.
Connected Apps
Connect your own tools to Dialog via OAuth for additional agent capabilities. Available integrations include:
Communication: Gmail, Slack, Zoom
Project Management: Jira, Linear, Asana, Notion
Productivity: Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Google Docs
CRM & Sales: HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom
Analytics & Product: Google Analytics, PostHog, Productboard
Design & Development: Figma, GitHub, LinkedIn
Connect apps in Settings — each integration uses OAuth so your credentials stay secure. Once connected, your agent can read and interact with these services during research sessions.
How sources work together
The real power of Dialog’s data sources shows up when your agent combines multiple sources in a single query.Ask something like “What do developers think about Cursor vs Windsurf?” and your agent might search Reddit for community discussions, pull X posts for real-time opinions, check Discourse forums for detailed technical threads, and scrape comparison blog posts from the web — all in one pass.The agent decides which sources to query based on your question and your tool preferences. Results from different sources are synthesized into a single research brief with citations pointing back to each original source.
Enable multiple data sources to get the most comprehensive research. A query that hits Reddit, social media, and web search will surface insights you’d miss by searching any single platform alone.
