In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a social media monitoring agent that performs sentiment analysis and monitors mentions of influencers or brands across various platforms. This project builds on previous tasks and is designed to be simple and effective. By the end of this article, you'll have a complete overview of how to create your agent, including an executive summary, mentions across platforms, and key insights for improvement.
Whether you're a brand manager or an influencer, understanding how people perceive you on social media is crucial. This monitoring agent will take in a brand or influencer's name and conduct online research about them, analyzing social media mentions for sentiment. This article assumes you have some basic understanding of AI agents, and if you need assistance, we recommend checking out our Crew AI course for resources.
Before we dive into creating the agent, ensure you have the necessary environment set up. You will need:
OS
, dotenv
, Crew AI
, and others relevant for interacting with APIs.To work efficiently, you'll need to load your environment files that contain keys you'll be using to access the APIs. The keys needed include your OpenAI API key and Serper Developer tool key. This can be done through the load.env
method, ensuring the keys are secure.
The next step involves importing necessary libraries, specifically to use the OpenAI models and the tools required for searching online.
Here, we will create several agents, each designated with specific tasks. The agents include:
Researcher Agent: An expert in gathering information about the specified brand.
Social Media Monitor: Monitors social media mentions for a brand or influencer.
Sentiment Analyzer: Assesses sentiment from the extracted data.
Report Generator: Compiles all data into a structured report.
Each agent generally shares the same Language Learning Model (LLM) but can be dynamically assigned different models based on the specific needs of the task.
To execute these agents effectively, we assign them specific tasks:
Once the agents and tasks are defined, we package them into a "crew," which executes tasks in a structured manner. With execution parameters defined, the agents will start monitoring specified sources in real-time, analyzing sentiment alongside ongoing trends.
Upon executing the agents for the first time, you may encounter errors. Common debugging tasks include checking API keys, resolving data format issues, and ensuring models selected for LLMs are functioning. After debugging iterations, running the crew should yield valuable insights on social media presence.
When executed successfully, the system will provide relevant data such as the count of mentions, breakdown by platforms (e.g., Twitter, Instagram), and a summary of positive and negative sentiments.
In summary, building this social media monitoring agent allows brands and influencers to scan their social media presence, gathering real-time sentiment analysis and insights.
