Auto-save new Reddit images to Google Drive without duplicates

Watches chosen subreddits for new images, saves them to Google Drive, and skips anything you already have.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each new image found.

Pattern: Exclusive Choice (4) · Simple Merge (5) · Multiple Instances with a priori Design-Time Knowledge (13)

The problem it solves

Manually checking subreddits for new images and saving the good ones is a repetitive chore, and it's easy to save the same image twice. You want an organized archive without babysitting it.

Who it fits

A content creator, meme curator, or anyone archiving images from specific subreddits.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule to check your chosen subreddits for new posts
  2. Checks Google Drive to skip any image you've already saved
  3. Downloads new images and uploads them to the right folder
  4. Sends a Telegram message summarizing what was saved
What you get

Images saved without you scrolling Reddit

You get new images from your favorite subreddits saved automatically to Google Drive, with duplicates skipped.

What you get

An organized, duplicate-free Google Drive folder of saved images, with a status update in Telegram.

What you need

A Reddit developer account, a Google Drive account, and a Telegram bot.

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.
