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.
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.
Enhancement
Find podcast contacts in Media Relations
Search a database of 20,000 podcast contacts worldwide in Media Relations. Find podcasts by host name, show title, or topic, and use the podcast badge to distinguish them from other media contacts. Results are automatically segmented based on the countries included in your contract, making it easier to build more diverse media lists.
Enhancement
Expand AI visibility monitoring with Mistral
Add Mistral as a source in GenAI Lens to monitor brand visibility across 11 AI sources. View Mistral-specific metrics—including visibility score, mentions, sentiment, frequency, prominence, and mention rate—directly in your dashboard. Mistral is available as a separately priced add-on through your Meltwater Account Team.
Enhancement
Focus your analysis with the Author Type filter
The new Author Type filter lets you include or exclude posts from individual people wherever Unified Filters are available. This helps distinguish human voices from brands, bots, and other account types, adding context about who is driving a conversation. Matching results are currently available for supported content from X and Sina Weibo.
Enhancement
Discover more relevant narratives with AI-powered Topic Clusters
Topic Clusters in Explore are now generated at query time using large language models, making them more relevant to the search you are analyzing. Each cluster receives a clear, story-like label to help you identify leading narratives, emerging themes, and the stories driving a conversation. Results are based on up to 1,000 high-reach documents.
Enhancement
Track AI visibility rank changes automatically
Visibility Rank Change Alerts notify you when a tracked brand moves up or down in AI-generated response rankings after GenAI Lens refreshes its data. Delivered through email, Slack, or in-app notifications, each alert includes the brand’s Visibility Rank and Score change so you can quickly investigate what may have influenced the shift.
Enhancement
Assess media contacts faster with enhanced search result cards
Search result cards in Media Relations now surface key relevance signals, including AI-generated journalist bios, recent articles, and source publishing activity. You can also add contacts to a list, send an email, or view a profile directly from each card, reducing the need to open individual profiles during discovery.
Enhancement
Assign brands to topics for focused AI Recommendations
Assign brands to specific topics in GenAI Lens to control which brand-topic pairings receive weekly AI Recommendations. Turn off recommendations for combinations that are not delivering value, manage your weekly brand agent budget more efficiently, and reallocate capacity to the accounts, campaigns, and topics that need it.
New feature
Meltwater MCP
Bring Meltwater intelligence into AI assistants and MCP-compatible apps with Meltwater MCP tools. Teams can ask for cited insights, create reports, track alerts in real time, and save results for reuse, all grounded in governed Meltwater data and scoped to their permissions.
Enhancement
Include more social platforms in AI Discovery searches
Refine your creator searches by specifying additional supported Klear platforms on which creators should have profiles. AI Discovery considers these profiles alongside your audience, creator, and content criteria when recommending creators, helping you build more targeted searches and find creators who better align with your campaign.
Enhancement
Export Explore+ saved searches through the Meltwater API
Request one-time or recurring bulk exports of Explore+ saved searches directly through the Meltwater Insights API. This makes it easier to retrieve large datasets without paginating through results one page at a time and schedule recurring exports on your preferred cadence.
Enhancement
Connect GenAI Lens to Google Analytics
Connect GenAI Lens to your Google Analytics account to compare AI visibility with website performance. Track sessions referred by LLM platforms alongside transactions, revenue, and conversion rates, compare GA4 sessions with visibility trends over time, and see how AI referral traffic flows to specific website properties.
