Moodlight Intelligence

Culture moves at the speed of the internet. Yesterday’s insights are today’s irrelevance. Moodlight reasons through culture in real-time, turning signals into strategy so you spot, adapt and own cultural moments before anyone else.

The Market is Moving

From Signals to Strategy

  • Where to play

    Moodlight ingests up to 10M+ signals daily from news, social, and markets – scored for emotion, ranked by what’s rising, what’s lasting, what’s crowded, and what’s wide open. You see the whitespace before anyone else.

  • When to play

    Moodlight tracks subcultural shifts, meme evolution, and emerging narratives with the depth of a seasoned strategist. You move when the moment is right – not when the report lands.

  • What to say

    Moodlight’s Cultural Momentum Matrix™ synthesizes 19 proven frameworks from Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford with real-time data – and outputs a strategic brief in 60 seconds. Not a dashboard. A decision.

Agencies and consultants charge exorbitant fees to repackage stale insights

Dashboards show you yesterday’s data. Reports arrive after decisions are made. Moodlight shows what’s happening now and what’s coming next.

Traditional strategy looks backward

 Moodlight in Action

  • Moodlight is built for healthcare. Our Strategic Brief Generator automatically applies Medical Legal Regulatory (MLR) considerations – flagging emotional tones (fear, anxiety, urgency) that may face MLR scrutiny, identifying “safe white space” that’s culturally relevant but unlikely to trigger regulatory concerns, and framing recommendations as MLR-friendly where appropriate. Get creative strategy and compliance awareness in a single brief.

    Track real-time sentiment around drug launches, disease awareness campaigns, or policy changes. Identify when public fear or hope is spiking around specific conditions. Get 48-72 hour advance warning on narratives that could affect patient perception or stock price.

  • Stop guessing what’s culturally relevant. See exactly which emotions dominate the conversation around your client’s category. Find white-space opportunities where no one is speaking. Build campaigns that ride emerging movements instead of chasing yesterday’s trends.

  • Detect narrative shifts the moment they begin – not after they trend. See which emotions are driving virality around your brand or client. Identify whether to respond, wait, or redirect based on real-time empathy data.

  • Monitor how consumers feel about your category in real-time – not quarterly. Detect sentiment shifts around ingredients, sustainability, or pricing before they hit mainstream coverage. Time your launches and messaging to match the emotional moment.

  • Moodlight shows you what’s emerging before it’s oversaturated. Use VLDS metrics to find topics with high Velocity but low Density – that’s your sweet spot for timely content that isn’t played out. Check the Global Mood Score to match – or intentionally contrast – the emotional temperature. When you pitch story angles, back them with data: “This topic has 3x velocity growth and we can own this space before competitors catch on.”

  • Spot divergence between market sentiment and public mood. Track geopolitical risk by country with threat intensity scoring. Get daily intelligence briefs that surface what matters before the trading day starts.

  • Track emotional response to policy positions across regions. Identify which issues are gaining velocity vs. fading. Find messaging gaps your opponents aren’t addressing. Brief your candidate with cultural intelligence, not just polling data.

  • Validate market timing before you launch. See if the cultural conversation is moving toward or away from your idea. Identify underserved narratives where you can own the conversation. Make investor pitches backed by real-time sentiment data, not hunches.

Audience

  • No. Moodlight uses a hybrid architecture: transformer-based neural networks for emotion classification, combined with proprietary algorithms for our VLDS scoring system (Velocity, Longevity, Density, Scarcity). We use LLMs for brief generation and insight synthesis – but the core intelligence layer is purpose-built for cultural pattern detection, not general-purpose chat.

  • We ingest 5M+ daily signals from news outlets, RSS feeds, X (Twitter), Reddit, and financial markets. All data is filtered, deduplicated, and scored through our empathy and emotion classification pipeline.

  • News and social data refreshes automatically every 4 hours. You can also trigger a manual refresh anytime for the latest X/Twitter posts. The dashboard always shows the last 72 hours in Breaking Mode or 30 days in Strategic Mode.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Those platforms tell you what happened. Moodlight tells you what’s happening now – and what’s coming next. We’re predictive and personalized; they’re reactive and generic. And we’re $899/month, not $5,000.

  • Yes. The Strategic Brief Generator lets you input your product, audience, and goals – and receive a tailored intelligence report in minutes. Unlimited briefs are included in your subscription.

    Additionally, Moodlight tailors briefs when it detects keywords for highly regulated categories like healthcare, pharma, financial services, alcohol, cannabis, insurance, and legal services.

  • Every brief is grounded in real data – not hallucinations. Moodlight pulls from 5M+ daily signals across news, social, and financial markets, scores them for emotion and empathy, and calculates proprietary VLDS metrics (Velocity, Longevity, Density, Scarcity) before a single word is generated.

    But we don’t stop there. When you submit a request, Moodlight automatically selects from 19 proven strategic frameworks – including Jobs To Be Done (Harvard), Blue Ocean Strategy, STEPPS (Wharton), Behavioral Economics (Kahneman), and more – and applies them explicitly to your situation. The AI shows its reasoning, names the frameworks, and connects recommendations directly to the data.

    This isn’t a chatbot guessing. It’s a reasoning engine trained on the same methodologies used by McKinsey, IDEO, and the world’s top agencies – running on live intelligence instead of stale reports.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • Morning: Open your inbox, read your 6am intelligence brief – you’re caught up on overnight shifts in 90 seconds.

    Midday: Run a Strategic Brief for the pitch you’re building or the campaign you’re planning.

    Afternoon: Check the dashboard to see what’s trending, what’s fading, and where the white space is.

    Before a big meeting: Pull a brief tailored to the client or topic – walk in with data, not guesses.

    Most users spend less than 10 minutes a day on Moodlight and walk away knowing more than teams that spent all week in research.

  • I spent years at the world’s top advertising agencies building AI and data capabilities for Coca-Cola, AT&T, and the US Department of Defense.

    After watching agencies charge six figures for backward-looking insights, I built the tool I wished existed: a forward-looking, real-time reasoning engine for cultural strategy.
