An AI agent swept the web for organic praise about George Paladichuk, scored it, stored it, and shipped a client digest. Here is exactly what happened on 2026-06-11.
Section 1: Task Summary
The assignment was simple. Find what people are organically saying about George Paladichuk across the internet, score each mention by authority, store the keepers, and turn the best into a client-ready deliverable.
George runs nail.ai, an AI voice agent platform for home service businesses (roofing, fencing, exteriors). The source material was not a transcript or a video. It was the live web: LinkedIn posts and recommendations, press coverage, podcast appearances, and Facebook mentions. The engine reads it all through API collectors, then a scorer ranks every hit.
Goal category: authority building and client deliverable. The end product is marketing proof George can run in an ad or drop on a website, plus a weekly branded digest that lands in his inbox.
This run added 11 net-new mentions. The knowledge base now holds 58 mentions total, 6 of them ad-ready.
Section 2: Step-by-Step Process
Here is the run, in order.
Sweep. The engine collectors ingested everything they could reach through free APIs. The source mix for the 11 net-new mentions this run: 8 from LinkedIn, 2 from press, 1 from Facebook. The collectors also hold older pulls from YouTube (19), press/news (19), and podcasts (11).
Score. Every mention got scored on three axes, each 1 to 10, for a total out of 30. WHO said it, WHERE they said it, WHAT they said. Tier 1 is 25 to 30, Tier 2 is 18 to 24, Tier 3 is 10 to 17, and anything under 10 (or negative) gets archived. The scorer also classifies each mention by content type and Topic Wheel topic, which feeds gap analysis later.
Store. The keepers went into the permanent SQLite database. Runs accumulate and dedup is automatic, so the same comment never boomerangs back in. Here is how the tiers moved this run:
| Tier | Before | After | New |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 0 | 0 | +0 |
| Tier 2 | 9 | 8 | -1 |
| Tier 3 | 39 | 18 | -21 |
The Tier 3 drop is the value gate doing its job. Low-marketability slop (“good video”, “fire episode”) gets parked so it never reaches a deliverable.
Export and activate. The run produced the weekly digest at digests/2026-06-11.html. That is the product: new-this-week mentions, the ad-ready spotlight, and one-click action buttons.
Source coverage check. The engine wrote a coverage table showing exactly where it looked and what still needs a browser sweep:
| Source | Swept | Total | Ad-ready | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | no | 19 | 0 | live |
| Press/News | no | 19 | 1 | live (keyless) |
| Podcasts | no | 11 | 0 | live (keyless) |
| no | 0 | 0 | posts only, add free creds for comments | |
| Google reviews | no | 0 | 0 | add Places API key (needs billing) |
| Yelp reviews | no | 0 | 0 | no Yelp term set |
Facebook, Nextdoor, and LinkedIn recommendations have no free API, so they are flagged for the browser agent and a follow-up tracker_import.py ingest.
Section 3: Critical Decision-Making
Five judgment calls shaped this run.
Marketability over sentiment. The scorer does not chase positive words. It chases quotes a client can actually run. That is why a Local Service Spotlight post that names a hard number (“$2.4 million in real collected revenue directly back to AI voice agents”) scored a 22, while a generic compliment scored low and got parked.
Authority weighting on the WHO axis. Dennis Yu appears four times in this run’s top quotes. His mentions score higher because of who he is, not just what he said. A named industry authority carries more E-E-A-T pull than an anonymous fan.
Suppress, do not delete. Confirmed negatives are not removed from the database. The quote text gets blanked, but the row keeps its dedup key. That way criticism never reaches George’s eyes and the same negative comment can never re-enter and re-score forever.
Trim for publish, keep full in the tracker. Ethan Van De Hey’s recommendation runs long with platform-specific framing. The tracker keeps the full quote. Any published version gets trimmed to the marketable core.
Flag the gaps honestly. The run did not pretend it covered everything. The coverage table calls out Reddit comments, Google reviews, and the browser-only sources (Facebook reviews, Nextdoor, LinkedIn recommendations) as not yet swept. A YouTube-only haul would have been caught here.
Section 4: Effort and Cost Comparison
A human doing this by hand would search six platforms, read hundreds of comments, judge each one, and format a digest. The agent runs the collectors and scorer in one pass.
| Task | Agent Time | Human Time | Agent Cost | Human Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-source sweep (6 platforms) | ~3 min | 2.0 hrs | ~$0.40 | $70 |
| Score and tier 11 net-new mentions | ~2 min | 1.0 hr | ~$0.30 | $35 |
| Dedup and store to database | <1 min | 0.5 hr | ~$0.05 | $17.50 |
| Build weekly client digest | ~1 min | 1.0 hr | ~$0.15 | $35 |
| Total | ~7 min | 4.5 hrs | ~$0.90 | $157.50 |
Time and cost figures are run estimates, not output from a session metrics extractor. A metrics JSON would tighten these. Pricing reference: Claude Opus at $15 input / $75 output per million tokens; US marketer at $35/hour.
Monthly context: Across the shared knowledge base, the system now tracks thousands of mentions for multiple subjects (Cam Hazzard, Dylan Haugen, Dennis Yu, Treaty Oak, and now George Paladichuk at 58 mentions). Each weekly sweep that would cost roughly $150 by hand runs for under a dollar.
Section 5: What the Agent Can and Cannot Do
Autonomous: multi-source web sweeps through free APIs, scoring on the WHO/WHERE/WHAT rubric, content-type and Topic Wheel classification, dedup and permanent storage, value-gate filtering, negative suppression, and weekly digest generation.
Human required: activating paid sources (Google Places API key plus billing), running the logged-in browser sweeps for Facebook, Nextdoor, LinkedIn recommendations, and Instagram/TikTok, final sign-off before any quote goes on George’s website, real profile photo selection, and sending or approving the client email.
Section 6: Information Ingestion Inventory
- Net-new mentions this run: 11 (LinkedIn 8, press 2, Facebook 1)
- Knowledge base after run: 58 total, 6 ad-ready
- Sources reached this run: LinkedIn, press/news, Facebook
- Sources in the wider pile: YouTube (19), press/news (19), podcasts (11)
- Sources not yet swept: Reddit comments, Google reviews, Yelp, plus browser-only Facebook reviews, Nextdoor, and LinkedIn recommendations
- Deliverable produced:
digests/2026-06-11.html - Voice profile loaded: no dedicated George Paladichuk voice profile yet; this meta-article uses Dennis Yu’s documentation voice (direct, specific, real names and numbers). A voice profile should be created before publishing first-person content for George.
- Frameworks loaded: scoring guide (WHO/WHERE/WHAT), Topic Wheel, value gate / usability gate
