The problem it solves

You know your future customers are talking about their problems on Reddit right now, but scrolling through hundreds of posts every day to find them is not realistic. By the time you spot a promising lead, someone else may already be talking to them.

Who it fits

A small business or sales team that wants to find potential customers already discussing their problem on Reddit.

How it works

  1. A search runs across Reddit for the keywords and communities you choose
  2. Matching posts are filtered down to the most relevant ones
  3. AI reads each post and writes a short summary of what the person needs
  4. Every lead, along with its summary and link, is added to a spreadsheet
What you get

Conversations that show real buying interest

You get a running list of Reddit posts from people already talking about your problem, summarized and ready for outreach.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of Reddit posts from potential customers, each with a link and an AI summary of what they need.

What you need

A Reddit account, an AI provider account, and a Google 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.
