The problem it solves

You want to know how people are reacting to a launch, event, or your brand, but scrolling through hundreds of Reddit comments to get a feel for the mood isn't realistic. Patterns get lost in the noise and you end up going on gut feel instead.

Who it fits

A marketing or product team that wants to gauge public reaction to a launch, event, or brand mention without reading every comment by hand.

How it works

  1. You start the process with a search term or topic
  2. The system pulls matching Reddit posts and their comments
  3. Each post is sorted into a relevant category
  4. AI reads each comment and rates it as positive, negative, or neutral
  5. Results are logged to a Google Sheet you can scan at a glance
What you get

Sentiment you see at a glance instead of reading every comment

Reddit posts and comments about your topic get sorted and rated as positive, negative, or neutral in a spreadsheet you can scan.

What you get

A Google Sheet of categorized posts with a sentiment score for each comment.

What you need

A Bright Data account for scraping Reddit, a Google Gemini API key, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
