  • {{negative_sentiment}} — the type of negative sentiment to track (e.g., anger, disappointment, distrust).
  • {{product_or_industry}} — the product, service, or industry context.
  • {{platform}} — the social media platform to focus on (e.g., Twitter, Reddit).
  • {{event}} — any specific event or region to consider (optional).

Instructions

  2. Analyze social media conversations using the provided keywords and sentiment to detect early warning signs.
  3. Identify spikes in negative sentiment, trending topics, or geographical patterns that could indicate a crisis.
