What is OneCliq?

OneCliq is an AI-powered tool that finds and analyzes real online conversations- so you can understand what people are saying, feeling, and doing in their own words.

OneCliq helps you uncover authentic, emotional, and insightful conversations from across the internet. Whether you're trying to understand consumer attitudes, explore emerging trends, or test a hypothesis, it all starts with creating the right query.


How to Write a OneCliq Query

From within your Projects Dashboard, navigate to the New Social Report button.

From here, you’ll see the intuitive search bar- this is where you’ll build your query.

Type your question directly into the search bar. Then, adjust your settings to customize the scope of your search:

  • Select your sources
    Choose from a drop-down list of online platforms where you want OneCliq to look for content.

  • Determine your search type

    • Ask a question: Just type your research question in natural language and OneCliq will find the most relevant online content.

    • Use links: Already have content you like? Use those URLs as starting points to find similar conversations. OneCliq can process URLs from any of the supported platforms (Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or X)

    • Combine both: Ask a question and include a few supporting links to refine your results.

  • Choose a time frame
    Narrow your query to a specific period- whether you're looking for recent conversations or trends over the past few months.

  • Refine with keyword search
    OneCliq automatically generates 5 keyword searches based on your query.

    • Click into any keyword to edit it.

    • Delete keywords that aren’t useful.

    • Add your own keywords to sharpen the focus.

    • Refresh the list to instantly generate 5 new keyword options.

Watch as Your Results Generate

Once you’ve run your query, OneCliq will:

  1. Scan the web for the most relevant conversations using our advanced relevancy algorithm.

  2. Classify the content automatically using dynamic topic detection.

  3. Analyze the classified content to generate a clear, insight-rich report.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

The quality of your results depends on the quality of your question. OneCliq performs best when you write your queries in natural, conversational language.

  • Don’t overthink your language, just write like a human.

  • If your first query doesn’t hit the mark, tweak it slightly and try again.

  • Use supporting links to guide your search when you're looking for something niche or technical.
