Reddit Agent
Reddit rewards the person who answers the question and removes everybody else. This agent does the reading: every day it goes through the threads in the places your audience posts, and drafts the reply for the ones where what you built is genuinely the answer. You post it yourself.
The thread you should have answered was yesterday
The threads where somebody is asking for exactly what you built go past at two in the afternoon, while you are shipping. By the time you look, the question has three answers and a lock. And the alternative, sitting in six subreddits all day, is not a plan: it is the reason founders stop doing Reddit after a fortnight, which is right about when it starts working.
What is Reddit marketing?
Reddit marketing is answering the question somebody already asked. Nobody goes to a subreddit to be sold to, and the moderators of the places worth being in remove anything that reads like an ad. What works is narrow: you find the thread where your product is the honest answer, you write the answer, and you say you built the thing. That is the whole method, and it is slow because reading threads is slow.
A Reddit agent is the reading half of that, done for you. It searches recent threads in the subreddits your audience posts in, weighs each one against what your product actually does, and drafts the reply you would have written if you had two free hours. It does not post. Posting is yours, under your own account, because on Reddit the account is the reputation and an automated account has none.
What it leaves you
One thing, and it is the thing that works on Reddit: a reply, written for a specific thread.
The skills it runs
A run may activate these and nothing else. Every one of them is open: read the file before you turn the agent on.
What a Reddit agent costs elsewhere
These are the prices on those companies' own pricing pages on the day shown. Kwern publishes no audience figure for Reddit, because we have not measured one and the ones on other people's pages are unsourced.
Kwern against the alternatives
| What is compared | Kwern | AI CMO suites | Point tools | An agency | Doing it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Staying on the right side of a subreddit | Reads the subreddit's rules before every draft, and posts nothing itself: you paste the reply under your own account, in your own name. | Some publish for you. That is the part that gets the account removed. | A scheduler will post whatever you queue, at the hour you queued it. | A junior writes under a fresh account, which is the account that gets banned. | You read the rules once and hope you remembered them. |
| Finding the thread worth answering | Reads recent threads in the places your audience actually posts, and brings back the ones where your product is the answer. | A keyword search, ranked by engagement rather than by fit. | A keyword alert, which is every thread, not the right one. | A weekly report of threads, most of them a week old. | Whatever you saw while you were meant to be working. |
| Writing the reply | Answers the question first, in your brand voice, and mentions the product only where it is genuinely the answer. | A template with your product name in it. | Nothing. A scheduler does not write. | Written by someone who has never used what you built. | Written by you, at midnight, in the tone of someone who is tired. |
| Who says yes before it goes out | One feed. Approve, edit or reject each draft; nothing is published or spent until you do. | Usually a dashboard, sometimes autopilot with no stop. | Per tool, in whatever queue that tool keeps. | A shared document, and a reply a day later. | You wrote it, so you approved it. |
| What it costs a month | From $29 a month, every agent in every plan. | $20 to $1,000 a month, and $5,000 for a done-for-you tier. | One subscription per channel, each with its own seat. | A monthly retainer, agreed before anything ships. | Nothing, and it costs you the evenings. |
| Who pays for the model | Your own key. Across the 11 models Kwern vets, input runs $0.10 to $10 per million tokens, billed to you by the provider. | Credits you buy from them; the markup is never itemised. | Theirs, folded into the subscription. | Inside the retainer, at whatever margin they keep. | Your own key, at the provider's price. |
