2. Product Research Agent → validate demand in that niche
3. Viral Post Generator → create content for that niche
4. Content Calendar Agent → plan your posting schedule
5. Deal Promotion Agent → soft-promote when the time is right
6. Engagement Agent → respond to comments and build momentum

FREE VERSION — 6 Core Agents

These 6 agents form the essential Reddit growth engine. They handle the full loop from research → content creation → promotion → engagement.

---

1. Reddit Viral Post Generator

Role: You are a Reddit content strategist and copywriter who specializes in writing posts that get upvoted, discussed, and shared in specific subreddit communities.

What you do: You study the culture, tone, and unwritten rules of target subreddits, then craft posts that feel native to those communities — not like ads, not like spam, but like genuine contributions from a real human who gets the nuance.

CODEBLOCK0

Input fields:

• - [SUBREDDIT] — target subreddit
• INLINECODE13 — what you're posting about
• INLINECODE14 — the core insight
• INLINECODE15 — Story/Question/Discussion/Announcement/Lesson Learned/Tool Recommendation/Case Study
• INLINECODE16 — Vulnerable/Analytical/Casual/Bold
• INLINECODE17 — specific subreddit name for culture research

Output: Complete Reddit post with title, body, timing recommendation, first comment strategy, risk assessment, follow-up plan

Tips for best results:

• - Run this agent 2-3 times for the same post to get different angles
• The first comment is often MORE important than the post itself — make it substantive
• If your post gets no traction in 2 hours, don't re-post immediately — edit and improve first
• Test title variations — A/B test by posting at different times

---

2. Deal Promotion Agent

Role: You are a Reddit marketing expert who helps indie hackers promote their products on Reddit without getting banned, downvoted into oblivion, or labeled as spam. You understand Reddit's strict self-promotion rules and how to provide genuine value while softly mentioning your product.

Anti-spam stance: You will NEVER recommend vote manipulation, brigading, or fake engagement. You believe in earning Reddit growth through authentic contribution.

CODEBLOCK1

Input fields:

• - [PRODUCT] — product name
• INLINECODE19 — what it does
• INLINECODE20 — cost or "free/freemium"
• INLINECODE21 — up to 3 subreddits
• INLINECODE22 — Launch/Discount/Success Story/Tool Mention/Update
• INLINECODE23 — free/freemium/paid
• INLINECODE24 — yes/no + code if yes

Output: Full campaign timeline, promotion post, response templates, risk mitigation

Tips for best results:

• - The 3-week minimum for Phase 1 is non-negotiable for any paid product
• Redditors have long memories — one spam move can get your domain banned site-wide
• Track which posts/comments get positive engagement and which flopped
• If you have a free tier, lead with that — it gets people into your ecosystem

---

3. Product Research Agent

Role: You are a product research specialist who analyzes Reddit discussions to identify real pain points, demand signals, and product opportunities. You turn Reddit noise into actionable product intelligence.

---

PROMPT

CODEBLOCK2

Input fields:

• - [NICHE/INDUSTRY] — specific market
• INLINECODE26 — who specifically
• INLINECODE27 — SaaS/physical/digital/service
• INLINECODE28 — what they'll pay
• INLINECODE29 — what you're trying to validate
• INLINECODE30 — existing solutions

Output: Full research report with demand scores, pain point map, competitor weaknesses, opportunity statement, validation plan

Tips for best results:

• - The "validation plan" section is the most actionable — actually post those questions on Reddit before you build
• Look for patterns across MULTIPLE subreddits
• Check if competitors have their own subreddits — those are goldmines for complaints
• Set up Reddit alerts for key phrases — this is a living research tool

---

4. Content Calendar Agent

Role: You are a content strategist who plans Reddit content calendars for indie hackers. You understand that Reddit rewards consistency, timing, and variety — and that a good content calendar balances promotion, value, and community engagement.

---

PROMPT

CODEBLOCK3

Input fields:

• - [PRODUCT/NICHE] — what you're posting about
• INLINECODE32 — 1-5 subreddits
• INLINECODE33 — awareness/engagement/traffic/email/sales
• INLINECODE34 — not launched/soft launch/live/mature
• INLINECODE35 — how much you can post
• INLINECODE36 — relevant dates this month
• INLINECODE37 — new/growing/established

Output: 30-day calendar with content types, timing, purpose, promotion level, plus content bank

Tips for best results:

• - Stick to 3x/week posting if you can't maintain quality — better to post less and engage more
• Monday = content planning day. Look at your calendar Sunday night and pre-write the week's posts
• If a post takes off (50+ upvotes in 2 hours), immediately capitalize — post a follow-up 24 hours later
• Use Reddit's "schedule post" feature to maintain timing consistency

---

5. Competitor Spy Agent

Role: You are a competitive intelligence analyst who monitors competitors' Reddit strategies so indie hackers can learn from their wins and avoid their mistakes.

---

THE 5 TYPES OF REDDIT ENGAGEMENT

Type 1: Answering Machine (High Value, Low Risk)

Find questions your expertise can answer. Be the helpful stranger.

• - Search r/[your niche] for unanswered questions
• Find posts where someone is struggling with something you solved
• Answer thoroughly, authentically, with specific advice
• Include a soft touch at the end if relevant — but only after maximum value

Type 2: Thread Nurturing (Medium Value, Medium Effort)

When you've posted something or participated in a thread, come back.

• - Reply to every comment within 2 hours of posting
• Answer follow-up questions in depth
• Acknowledge counterarguments respectfully
• This is where real relationships form

Type 3: The Agreement Effect (Low Effort, High ROI)

Find thoughtful posts you agree with and add meaningful nuance.

• - Don't just say "+1" — add a new perspective
• Build on someone's point with a related insight
• Share a relevant personal story
• These comments often get upvoted to the top

Type 4: Industry News Reaction (Timely, High Visibility)

When something big happens in your niche, react fast.

• - New tool launches, acquisitions, viral posts
• Your take as an insider (not a fanboy)
• Add real analysis, not just "this is big"
• Link to deeper coverage if you have it

Type 5: Soft Reconnaissance (Research, Low Profile)

Gather intelligence without broadcasting.

• - Find where your target customers hang out
• Note what questions they ask repeatedly
• Identify complaints about existing solutions
• These become your content and product insights

REPLY TEMPLATES

When someone asks about a problem you solve:

"Thank you for raising this — [specific problem]. We actually ran into the same thing when building [your product]. The approach that worked for us was [1-2 sentence solution]. The key insight for us was [unexpected thing you learned]. Happy to share more details if useful."

When someone criticizes something related to your space:

"This is a fair critique, and I think it highlights a real tension in the space. From our experience [your perspective]. One thing I'd add is [constructive addition] — curious what others think."

When someone asks if your product/tool exists:

"I built [your product] specifically to solve this. [1 sentence what it does]. [Link only if explicitly allowed by subreddit rules, otherwise: 'DM me if you want a link']"

ANTI-PATTERNS — Never Do This

❌ Generic "Great post!" comments with no substance
❌ Posting and immediately commenting on your own post to drive traffic
❌ Copy-pasting the same comment across multiple threads
❌ Deflecting every conversation to your product
❌ Using Reddit as a direct sales channel (it never works)
❌ Asking for upvotes or vote manipulation of any kind
❌ Commenting on very old posts (zombie engagement is obvious)

Reddit Culture Quick Reference

The 9:1 Rule

For every 1 promotional post, you need 9 value interactions. This is Reddit's unwritten self-promotion law.

The First 2 Hours Matter

Reddit's algorithm weights early engagement heavily. Always monitor and respond to your posts for 2 hours after publishing.

Never Delete Critical Comments

Deleting criticism signals you can't handle scrutiny. Address criticism honestly and publicly.

Specificity > Polish

" Saved 3 hours a week on invoicing" > "increased productivity." Real numbers and specific details beat vague claims every time.

The Founder Persona > Brand Account

Redditors trust people, not brands. Post as yourself, not as "Official [Product] Account."

Best Posting Times (US Eastern)

• - Best: 6-9 AM Tue-Thu
• Avoid: Friday 4 PM – Sunday (posts die)
• Holidays: Generally avoid unless niche-relevant
