Be the first to know, every time. OrbisX is media monitoring that works for you around the clock. Set your agents to watch the topics and companies you care about, and the app pulls every relevant story from the major Danish outlets into one clean feed. It happens in real time: when a story is published, it is with you within a quarter of an hour. No expensive clipping agencies, no endless searching. YOUR OWN AGENTS Each agent is your personal lookout. Tell it what to watch for, a keyword, a name or a full context, and it collects matching articles from across the media landscape while you get on with your day. Mark as read, save as a favorite, and stay on top of it all without lifting a finger. YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR TEAM Add the companies you want to keep an eye on and see mentions, estimated views and sentiment in one place. Tap a story to see who is covering it, whether it is free or behind a paywall, and jump straight to the source. Share an agent with a colleague and it lands on your team's shared board. COMPARE Put companies head to head on mentions, views and coverage. Track the movement over 7, 30 or 90 days, see which outlets dominate, and how much of the conversation is yours. NOTIFICATIONS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME You decide which agents may notify you, so you are only interrupted by what genuinely matters. One tap takes you straight to the story. Ready on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW FIRST Communications and PR professionals, analysts and business owners who cannot afford to miss a story, and will not pay a fortune to avoid it. OrbisX works hand in hand with orbisx.ai. Create your account and agents on the web, and let the app keep you up to date wherever you are.
