Topic Tracker is built for the research work you are actually doing

Use Topic Tracker for show preparation, column research, episode planning, subscriber content, or any project that needs a complete record of what was said, who said it, and whether the story held over time.

For Producers and Podcasters

Prepare interviews and episodes with sourced timelines of a guest's or public figure's documented positions, including changes and contradictions worth following up.

For Journalists, Bloggers, and Substack Writers

Build research briefs across multiple voices, compare claims side by side, and keep primary-source citations attached to the evidence behind your reporting.

For Researchers

Organize statements by topic, voice, date, and source; generate focused dossiers; and turn the collection into a long-form comparative report.

Topic Tracker — Comparative Public Figure Analysis

Research any topic across multiple public figures simultaneously. Topic Tracker builds intelligence dossiers, generates full reports, and shows who agrees, who contradicts, and how narratives evolve — all sourced from primary documents.

How Topic Tracker Works

  1. Create a topic — any subject you want to research (e.g. "climate policy", "immigration", "tax reform")
  2. Add the public figures you want to track on that topic
  3. SpinkillerAI researches each figure's documented statements, organized by date and source
  4. Build dossiers, run side-by-side comparisons, and generate full intelligence reports

Key Features

  • Side-by-side comparison — compare any two voices on any topic with primary-source citations
  • Intelligence dossiers — per-figure summaries of documented positions on a topic
  • Full intelligence reports — comprehensive reports covering all tracked voices with executive summaries
  • Narrative drift detection — surface position changes over time
  • Daily Spotlight — AI-generated briefings on the day's most significant contradictions
  • Shareable URLs — permanent links for every dossier and report

Topics and Public Figures

Topic Tracker organizes research around two dimensions: topics and people. Create a topic for any subject you want to investigate, then assign the public figures whose positions on that topic you want to track. SpinkillerAI handles the sourcing — every statement is tied to a verifiable primary document.
