Monitor Reddit and auto-reply to relevant conversations with AI

Scans subreddits for people asking about your kind of product, then posts a genuinely helpful AI-written reply.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats next scheduled scan; runs once per each qualifying comment found.

The problem it solves

Finding the right Reddit threads where you can genuinely help someone, without sounding like an ad, takes hours of scrolling. Most businesses either skip Reddit entirely or post generic replies that get ignored or flagged as spam.

Who it fits

Small businesses and solo founders who want to engage authentically in Reddit communities related to their product.

How it works

  1. Checks a list of subreddits every few hours
  2. AI reads the comments, not just post titles, to spot genuine questions
  3. Filters out bots, moderators, and posts that are not a good fit
  4. Writes a helpful, conversational reply and posts it
  5. Logs every reply to a Google Sheet so you can review what was said
What you get

Conversations that introduce your product naturally

Genuine questions about your kind of product get a thoughtful, conversational reply on Reddit, and every reply is logged for you to see.

What you get

A logged record of AI-written Reddit replies posted to relevant conversations.

What you need

A Reddit account, an OpenAI 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.
