AI Assistant to help you find users for your product
Scrape Reddit to find targeted opportunities to provide value - before they go viral.
Hey Prompter Community!
I’m excited to bring you our latest project: Automated Reddit Discovery. This project is focused on leveraging Reddit as an outlet for discovering and engaging with your target audience, capitalizing on customer discovery, participating in product promotion, finding beta testers, and more.
I believe Reddit is a unique platform that will grow massively over the next few years. While it pales compared to some of the more prominent social platforms, it has a few highly unique characteristics that make it an incredible platform for startups and businesses to find dedicated users and customers.
Self-governance—Reddit’s subreddits have moderators, meaning that the culture and vibe of each subreddit vary drastically. This is important because most of these moderators will not allow excessive self-promotion if it provides no value. So, you must get creative and focus on delivering value to the conversation first and foremost. Uncreative, spammy Reddit users fail here.
High-quality content - Reddit’s posts and conversations are higher quality and usually less spammy. These conversations provide such value that Google ranks them pretty high in search results.
If you can thoughtfully respond to posts and creatively promote your product before anyone else (see this article by Matt McGary on how to do this right), you can dominate a social platform many fail to conquer.
You can find a treasure trove of potential users by adding value to conversations, answering questions, and understanding when, where and most importantly HOW to plug your solution. However, constantly combing these subreddits for potential opportunities is not in your best interest and takes a lot of time.
A note: You get the highest engagement within the first 18 hours, the standard lifecycle of a Reddit post.
But here’s the thing—how do we find a Reddit post similar to what we are selling where we can add value and see our users, all within 16 hours?
Let’s automate it.
Today, we will build a Reddit post similarity search bot that will deliver the most relevant posts to our product to our inbox, allowing us to leave highly visible comments first.
Application Steps:
Add subreddit(s) to track.
Create a detailed product description.
Add logical reasoning rules.
Then, the app runs at preset times.
Recent posts are pulled from tracked subreddits.
A similarity search is done on each post.
Logical reasoning rules are further applied to filter down posts.
Final posts are emailed to your inbox with a link for you to comment.
