Watch Dogs is a real-time AI-powered emergency intelligence platform that monitors X, verifies breaking incidents using Grok AI, and delivers clear, actionable alerts to first responders in under 30 seconds.

We turn social media chaos into verified emergency intelligence by:

• Detecting incidents as they unfold
• Clustering related posts into single events
• Cross-referencing government alerts and news
• Assigning transparent confidence scores
• Displaying everything on a live map + feed dashboard

Built for police officers and first responders, Watch Dogs eliminates doomscrolling, reduces misinformation, and helps save lives when every second counts.

Prerequisites: Node.js

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

   • Get your Bearer Token from Twitter Developer Portal
   • Create a .env.local file in the root directory
   • Add your API key:

     VITE_X_API_KEY=your_bearer_token_here
     

3. Run the app:

• Real-time X (Twitter) Search: Searches X posts for real-time events
• Engagement Analytics: Measures likes, retweets, replies, quotes, and views
• TLDR Summaries: Automatically generates summaries from top posts
• Media Links: Displays images and videos from X posts

To use this app, you'll need:

1. A Twitter Developer account

The app uses Twitter API v2's /tweets/search/recent endpoint to search for real-time events.
