Replace marketing tasks with simple AI agents
The poster replaced most of their marketing with a few agents handling search-traffic work and YouTube comments, reporting tripled website traffic without ads.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The poster says they replaced most manual marketing with four simple agents: hourly Claude-based routines for YouTube comments and Quora answers, a content repurposing flow in Claude Projects, and an outbound system using ProspectZero. The agents pulled new niche videos or questions by keyword, scored comments or questions for intent, drafted replies for anything rated 7+, and watched buyer signals like competitor engagement, job changes, hiring, and problem posts so the team could reach out within a day.
- How it went
- Over 14 days, they report traffic up about 2.6x, signups up about 40%, and 40–60 daily visitors from AI search, with no ad spend. They also say most conversions came from the outbound agent, but commenters questioned whether the gains would hold up long term.
- Worth knowing
- They put the whole stack at about $120 per month, roughly $4 a day.
