Turn Reddit, X and Hacker News threads into pipeline — without spamming anyone

Buyers ask for recommendations in public threads every day. GTM Hacker finds the ones worth answering, drafts a genuinely useful reply in your voice, and posts it only after you approve.

What do you use to keep up with Reddit and HN mentions without living in them?

Short answer: set up saved searches per subreddit and keyword, then batch your replies once a day instead of reacting live. The tradeoff is speed vs. focus — for most teams once a day is fine…

// the core rule

“On Reddit, the useful answer is the marketing.”

Our agents follow that rule. They answer the question first, add a concrete next step, disclose who they are, and link only when the link actually helps.

How it works

  1. 01 · watchTell it where to listenAdd a watch: subreddits, keywords, competitor names, a forum or a YouTube channel.
  2. 02 · screenNoise is filtered firstListeners poll on a schedule and screen every post before it reaches your Review column.
  3. 03 · draftA reply grounded in your materialThe drafter reads the thread and your assets, then writes a reply per the platform's playbook.
  4. 04 · approve & postYou approve, it postsThe poster publishes on the original thread and records the permalink. Engagement is tracked after.

Guardrails, built in

  • Nothing posts without approval. Every reply waits in Review; a daily digest tells each persona owner what's waiting.
  • Disclosure by default. Replies say who you are when it matters.
  • Red-light threads are skipped. Venting threads, vendor-banned communities and forced product mentions stay out.
  • Accounts stay healthy. You hear about expiring authorizations before posting breaks.

FAQ

Is this allowed on Reddit?

Promotional content isn't automatically spam, but each community sets its own rules. Our playbook checks those rules first, and a person approves every reply before it's posted.

Which account do replies post from?

The account you connected for that persona. Each persona has an owner who approves its drafts.

Can I run a reply campaign on one topic?

Yes. Define a reply campaign with a topic and a message, and the drafter finds matching threads and drafts replies for review.
