Automate your Reddit monitoring with an AI agent

Monitoring that survives past week two

Reading a busy subreddit every morning is dull, so it happens for nine days and then stops.

Scheduled as a routine, a companion reads the subreddits you name, filters against what you care about, and reports the handful worth your attention with a link and a summary.

What comes back should be small. Five posts with a line each is a report somebody reads.

What counts as a real signal?

Three things.

Somebody describing the problem you solve without naming a product, somebody asking for recommendations in your category, and somebody complaining about a competitor in specific terms.

A companion applies that filter consistently across every thread. A keyword alert on your brand name catches the thread where you are already being discussed and misses the one where the buyer is still describing the problem.

• Posts summarised with the actual language the poster used, which is the part worth stealing for your own copy.
• Threads about competitors flagged with what specifically was criticised.
• Nothing posted, commented or voted on by a companion, ever.

Research that beats a survey

A companion reads a year of threads in a subreddit and reports the recurring complaints, the tools people keep mentioning, and the words they use for the problem. Nobody in those threads is performing for a researcher.

That is the input for positioning work and for the kind of market map you can build in an afternoon. The research and analysis playbook has the scheduled version.

What about participating honestly?

It is allowed in some places, with disclosure, and only if you read that specific subreddit’s rules first. Several communities that look welcoming ban vendor participation outright.

A companion tells you what a subreddit’s rules say and drafts something for you to post under your own name. Reading the room stays a human job.
