It is really hard to be supportive of this - even if you worked hard on it, the last thing the world needs is more bots on reddit. We need less of people looking at online communities as targets for monetization, and more of people sincerely engaging with each other on whatever topics add meaning to their lives.

I agree with you. I attempted to incorporate enough sentiment analysis logic to skip many posts and only reply to the ones where engagement is possible. For example, posts where the OP is seeking service recommendations and Replyhub can provide a reply. Otherwise, it will skip the post even if it contains the keyword. Still there are exceptions.

I'm glad to hear that. Maybe that should be one of the points you make on your marketing page -- that it specifically aims at being selective to relevant conversations, and is not just a context-blind promotional bot.

Hi HN, Creator here!

We see many posts on Reddit where we could introduce our product, but it's hard to respond in a timely manner, and making replies manually is time-consuming. This is where Replyhub comes in to solve the problem. It takes the hassle out of the process so you can focus on other tasks while it handles this side of things.

Replyhub tracks keywords across Reddit and finds relevant posts. It then analyzes the post content to determine if a reply is warranted and automatically crafts a curated response. For example, if someone is asking about the best productivity tools, Replyhub can respond with a recommendation for your product, complete with details.

All you need to do is define a few keywords, which takes just a few minutes. Then, sit back and let Replyhub handle the rest. This means you can engage with potential customers and promote your product without spending hours on Reddit.

Any feedback and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

I cannot understand why this was made. The world is filled to the brim with AI garbage already, especially here. Why create more for a space already infested with similar ilk?

Spambots as a service, that's what this is to be brutally honest.

This already exists. However, the dark news is, people will pay for this.

Some already are. Is it the kind of business you'll be happy with?

Can you dogfeed your own product and see if you find your competitors commenting on the same posts?
