Automatically post AI-generated discussion questions to Reddit

On a schedule, AI writes a fresh discussion question and posts it to your chosen subreddit for you.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

You know regularly posting discussion questions builds engagement on Reddit, but coming up with a new one every time gets old fast. You also risk repeating yourself if you don't keep track of what you've already posted. Staying consistent takes more mental energy than the task deserves.

Who it fits

A community manager or marketer who wants to keep a subreddit active without writing every post by hand.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks which questions have already been posted
  2. AI writes a new discussion question that avoids repeating past topics
  3. The question is posted to your chosen subreddit
  4. The new post is logged so it's never repeated
What you get

Conversations sparked without writing every prompt

Your subreddit gets a fresh, thoughtful discussion question posted on schedule, keeping the community active without you writing every post yourself.

What you get

A regularly posted, non-repeating discussion question on Reddit, with a log of past posts.

What you need

A Reddit account, an OpenAI API key, and an Airtable 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.
