The problem it solves

People are asking questions in your community forums and on Reddit, but keeping up means scrolling through dozens of posts just to find the ones that need a real answer. Missing a question for too long means someone gives up waiting on you.

Who it fits

Community managers or support leads who monitor questions across Reddit and forums.

How it works

  1. Twice a day, the system scans a chosen subreddit and forum for new posts
  2. AI sorts posts into categories and picks out the ones that are genuine questions
  3. Each question is summarized so you can grasp it at a glance
  4. You receive an email digest with the summaries and direct links to each post
What you get

Forum questions worth answering

You get a twice-daily digest of the real questions people are asking across Reddit and forums, summarized with links.

What you get

An email digest of summarized questions with links straight to each post.

What you need

An OpenRouter API key and an email account for sending the digest.

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.
