How researchers and students can use real-time opinion data with OpinionPulse

Say a graduate student is tracking opinion on a policy topic for a literature-style brief. A new public poll comes out, and the prediction markets on that topic have not moved yet.

OpinionPulse flags it as an alert with the poll, the current market prices and the sources. The student saves the links, notes the time and can later describe what the markets showed at the moment the poll appeared. That is a clean, citable observation instead of a vague memory.

Imagine an undergraduate preparing a class presentation who asks, for example, whether opinion is moving on a topic they follow. OpinionPulse looks at recent poll headlines and the overlapping Polymarket and Kalshi prices.

If they point the same way, it reports a shift and shows what each source says. The student can then open each source, check the details and build a slide that shows where the evidence agrees, rather than relying on a single number.

A research assistant watching several topics over a semester can pick what to watch in the app and let the alerts come to them. Premium adds alerts when opinion on a followed topic shifts, and it is free during the beta.

When one arrives, the assistant knows which topic moved and gets the sources with it. They can log the date, check the sources and flag the topic for the team, rather than rechecking every feed each morning.

Not every need is an alert. On the free plan you can ask about any topic anytime through the API or MCP, which suits a quick check before a seminar or while drafting.

Because every answer lists its sources, you can quote the poll headline or market price you actually saw and link to it, instead of paraphrasing something you cannot trace.
