Mid-Year 2026 Product Release
Meltwater’s 2026 Mid-Year Release helps you move from reacting to proactively shaping your brand narrative with clarity and confidence. The result? Your brand shows up the way you intend, everywhere it matters.
Enhancement
Explore your AI visibility with Branded Web Reports
Understand your brand’s visibility across LLMs with Branded Web Reports in GenAI Lens. Explore eight tabs covering branded and unbranded prompts, narratives, models, your website, sources, recommendations, and methodology. Compare visibility, sentiment, and citations; track narrative changes; see which URLs and sources models cite; and review recommendations tied to specific gaps.
Enhancement
Control user access with new Klear permissions
Give stakeholders read-only access to Klear with the new View Only role, without allowing them to take actions. Admins can also tailor campaign access for each user and control who can send influencer payments and agreements. Configure roles, campaign visibility, and payment and agreement permissions when inviting or updating a user.
Enhancement
Explore content with a unified viewing experience
The new Content Stream brings a standardized content viewing experience to Explore, Explore+, and Analyze Dashboards. Translate content in-stream, choose flexible media layouts, view and update sentiment, and manage syndicated articles in collapsible groups. Natural-language AI sorting also helps surface relevant content first in Explore, while this capability is not available in Explore+.
Enhancement
Understand alerts faster with redesigned emails

Enhancement
Preview Explore searches with greater consistency
The AI Search Assistant preview in Mira Companion now uses the same unified search API as Explore’s content stream. Review AI-powered insights, open additional context in a side panel, adjust the date range, and work with the updated content stream directly in the preview. Widgets, metrics, and premium content now match the full search.
Enhancement
Manage influencer campaign progress with Funnel view
Use the new Funnel view in Klear’s Members tab to organize campaign influencers by stage. See each member as a card, drag cards between columns to update their status, and manage custom stages directly from the board. This visual pipeline helps teams track progress, identify stages needing attention, and coordinate next steps.
New Feature
Bring Meltwater insights directly into Slack
Bring Meltwater insights directly into Slack with the Meltwater Agent, powered by Mira. Ask questions and receive real-time media insights, summaries, briefs, news updates, and campaign recaps without leaving your conversations. The Agent uses Meltwater’s proprietary global dataset to turn complex media data into clear, shareable insights for PR, communications, and marketing teams.
Enhancement
Save tagged Instagram Stories directly to your campaign
Save tagged Instagram Story mentions directly from Instagram to your Klear campaign with the Chrome Extension. View pending mentions and see how long remains before each Story expires, then save the content without manually downloading and re-uploading it. This streamlines Unauthenticated Story Tracking and helps keep campaign reporting complete.
Enhancement
Discover media contacts beyond your subscription
Search Meltwater’s global media database to discover journalists and outlets beyond your current subscription. View basic profile details for every result, toggle gated profiles on or off, and request expanded access through locked contact fields. Gated contacts cannot be added to media lists or exported until they’re included in your subscription.
Enhancement
Build more flexible comparisons in Explore
Segment searches in Compare by custom date range or category, align timeframes, and switch between Absolute and Trend Growth views. Merge or separate searches, manage them directly from the comparison view, and use the new Keyword Rank list in Explore+. Saved comparisons continue updating as new content is published.
Enhancement
Manage Instagram hashtags in one place
Manage Instagram hashtag coverage across all connected accounts from one dedicated page. View total usage in a single quota bar, search or filter tracked hashtags, and add multiple hashtags through one flow using automatic assignment or manual account selection. Notifications confirm successful additions and flag any failures.
Enhancements
Continue smarter Mira conversations on mobile
Mira on Mobile now includes Chat History and Saved Searches. Revisit earlier chats and continue conversations where you left off, or select one or more Explore saved searches to focus Mira’s responses on your existing datasets. Saved Searches can be used independently or alongside a Mira Studio Project.
