The problem it solves

Posting content to Reddit and then following up with context or a call to action in the comments means jumping between steps every time. Doing this manually for regular posting gets tedious fast.

Who it fits

A community manager or marketer who regularly posts to a specific subreddit and wants a consistent follow-up comment added automatically.

How it works

  1. The automation creates a new post in your chosen subreddit
  2. It retrieves the post's details once it is live
  3. A follow-up comment is added underneath the post automatically
What you get

Reddit posts that always get a first comment

Your Reddit posts go live in the subreddit you choose and get a follow-up comment added automatically underneath.

What you get

A published Reddit post with a follow-up comment already in place.

What you need

A Reddit account with API access for posting.

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.
