The problem it solves

You can't watch every mention of your brand or product on Reddit around the clock, so viral posts or brewing PR problems often go unnoticed until it's too late. Sifting through comment threads by hand to spot what's actually gaining traction eats up time you don't have.

Who it fits

Community managers, marketing teams, and brand reputation teams tracking Reddit activity.

How it works

  1. New Reddit posts and comments about your brand are sent into the system automatically
  2. Each one is stored and compared against past activity to understand context
  3. AI analyzes the upvote pattern and content to judge how significant it is
  4. Every mention is logged to a Google Sheet for tracking
  5. You get a Slack alert the moment something worth your attention is happening
What you get

Brand mentions caught the moment they spike

You get an instant alert the moment a Reddit post about your brand starts gaining traction, so you never miss the moment.

What you get

A logged record of Reddit mentions plus a real-time alert when a post's engagement becomes significant.

What you need

OpenAI, Anthropic, Weaviate, Google Sheets, and Slack accounts.

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.
