Brand24 is crossing into spoken-word monitoring, detecting brand mentions inside TikTok and YouTube audio before competitors do.
Brand24 has expanded well beyond text-based social listening. The product now ingests brand mentions from YouTube and TikTok video transcriptions, tracks how AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini reference brands, and offers Boolean-level query precision with AI-assisted search building. The Owned vs. Earned channel filter, launched in September, sharpens the core mention feed by separating a brand's own posts from organic external coverage — a data quality fix that improves nearly every downstream metric on the dashboard.
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.

Brand24 is systematically expanding its coverage surface from text toward audio and AI-generated content, then layering analytical depth on top. The pattern is clear: YouTube audio in June, TikTok video transcription in September, AI Visibility as a structured add-on since May. The product is positioning itself as a unified brand intelligence layer that spans traditional media, spoken web platforms, and LLM citation tracking — not just a social monitoring dashboard.
The AI Visibility add-on will likely move from trial-gated to core-plan within two or three quarters, as LLM citation tracking becomes a standard budget line for brand teams. Advanced Search, currently Business/Enterprise-only, is a candidate for mid-tier rollout to reduce churn from power users on lower plans.

The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.
