Run a company Reddit presence with a bot
The poster built a Reddit agent to handle posting, engagement and neutral promotion of their platform instead of hiring a social media manager, though they still post themselves for now.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The poster says they built a Reddit bot for their SaaS instead of hiring a social media manager. In the thread, they describe it as running an account 24/7 to handle posting, engagement, and neutral promotion, but also say they are still the one actually posting for now; the comments push toward keeping a human in the loop.
- How it went
- The source gives no performance metrics or concrete results. The main stated outcome is that it served as a live example of their platform, while commenters warned full autonomy on Reddit could backfire or get flagged as inauthentic.
- Worth knowing
- The biggest catch in the thread is that the bot was not fully hands-off yet: despite the automation claim, the poster says they are still doing the posting themselves for now.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
I want to build a Reddit presence for [company name], which offers [one-line description]. Find [number] active subreddits relevant to [topic], read their rules, and draft [number] helpful, non-promotional comments or posts that add value and mention our product only where it genuinely fits and is allowed. Pause and show me each draft before anything is posted, and never post, vote or message without my approval. You are done when I have a table of subreddits, their rules in brief, and the drafts ready for review.
