OpenChase is a real-time social-media search engine built for researchers, journalists, and brand teams who need to see what people are actually saying online right now, not just what news outlets published. Launched in public beta on October 19, 2026 by CuriousCats.ai, it aggregates live conversations from ten platforms into one query.
Core Features
- Aggregates live posts from X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, Substack, and Medium alongside news sites in a single search.
- Surfaces the previous 24 hours of discussion, organized by platform and by story, with country-level filters.
- Generates AI overviews that group results into themes and label each by tone (factual, speculative, critical, celebratory), each expandable to the original posts.
- Links every claim back to its source; the company states it does not fabricate likes, views, or quotations.
- Privacy-first stance with no IP logging and no cookies, usable without sign-in.
Use Cases
- Journalists tracking first-hand reactions to a breaking story across many communities.
- Brand and communications teams monitoring how a campaign or product launch is received.
- Researchers and analysts comparing how the same topic is framed on different platforms.
- AI developers who want fresh social context via the planned REST API and MCP connectors.
Pricing
OpenChase launched as a free tier in public beta on October 19, 2026, with no waitlist, invite code, or sign-in. CuriousCats.ai has outlined a developer tier with a REST API, Claude and ChatGPT connectors, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and VS Code, but had not published per month pricing at launch.
Our Take
Best for teams that live on breaking news and community sentiment rather than scheduled reports. The trade-off is that it is a young beta with no historical archive beyond the last 24 hours. For broader discovery, browse our AI search tools category.
