Public opinion analysis

What Is BettaFish?

BettaFish is an open-source multi-agent public opinion analysis system. It helps turn fragmented public signals into a report that teams can inspect before moving into MiroFish simulation.

Use BettaFish to understand what has already happened in public discourse. Use MiroFish when the next question is how the situation may unfold.

Quick answer

BettaFish analyzes public opinion; MiroFish simulates what may happen next.

The practical way to understand BettaFish is as a research layer: it organizes visible public discourse into a report. That report can then become a source packet for MiroFish when a team wants to test future reaction paths.

What it does

BettaFish turns fragmented social signals into an analysis surface.

Public opinion rarely arrives as a clean dataset. It appears as comments, reposts, news fragments, images, reactions, and competing claims. BettaFish uses a multi-agent workflow to gather and interpret those signals so humans can review sentiment, topics, actors, and narrative pressure.

Workflow

How the BettaFish workflow fits a decision team.

Collect public signals

Gather relevant public material from social platforms, news, comments, and other available sources.

Analyze narratives

Use specialized agents to inspect sentiment, claims, actors, hot topics, and disagreement patterns.

Generate a report

Turn scattered signals into a research-style summary that a human team can review and challenge.

BettaFish is best understood as an open-source AI opinion analysis project.

People searching for BettaFish AI or BettaFish GitHub are usually trying to verify what the project does before using it. The important review point is not only whether it can produce a report, but whether the source scope, agent roles, and data handling fit the decision being made.

Multi-agent roles

A BettaFish-style workflow separates collection, narrative analysis, sentiment review, and report generation into specialized agent tasks.

Human review layer

The report is useful only when a team can inspect sources, assumptions, uncertainty, and evidence gaps before acting.

Simulation handoff

When the analysis raises a forward-looking question, the report can become source material for MiroFish scenario simulation.

BettaFish vs MiroFish

Treat BettaFish as the signal layer and MiroFish as the simulation layer.

Primary job

BettaFish

Analyze public opinion signals and summarize what is already visible.

MiroFish

Simulate how a scenario could unfold from structured source material.

Best input

BettaFish

Public comments, social posts, news, media, and public discussion.

MiroFish

A bounded source packet, scenario question, actors, and decision context.

Best output

BettaFish

A public opinion report with sentiment, topics, and narrative findings.

MiroFish

A graph, multi-agent reaction path, and forecast report for review.

Where BettaFish is useful

  • Understanding reaction around a public incident or controversy.
  • Preparing a product, policy, or campaign team before a public launch.
  • Finding narratives, questions, and objections that may need a simulation run.
  • Turning fragmented social discussion into a clearer source packet for MiroFish.

Review checklist

How to review a BettaFish report before using it.

Confirm the source scope before trusting the summary.

Separate public signal from private, sensitive, or legally restricted data.

Check whether the report explains uncertainty and evidence gaps.

Use MiroFish when the next question is how the situation may evolve.

FAQ

Questions about BettaFish

What is BettaFish?+

BettaFish is an open-source multi-agent public opinion analysis system. It is designed to collect public signals, analyze sentiment and narratives, and generate research-style reports.

Is BettaFish the same as MiroFish?+

No. BettaFish is mostly about public opinion data collection and analysis. MiroFish is about scenario simulation and forecasting from a source packet.

How can BettaFish and MiroFish work together?+

A BettaFish report can become source material for MiroFish. BettaFish helps summarize what has already happened in public discourse, while MiroFish can simulate how a situation may evolve next.

Is BettaFish open source?+

Yes. BettaFish is presented publicly as an open-source project with a GitHub repository. Teams should still review the repository, license, dependencies, and data handling before operational use.

Who should care about BettaFish?+

Brand, public relations, policy, product, research, and market teams may care when a decision depends on fast-moving public reaction across social platforms.

Should BettaFish output be treated as final truth?+

No. Treat BettaFish output as an analysis layer that needs source review, privacy judgment, legal review, and human interpretation before operational decisions.
