Set up a Reddit agent with human review

A founder used a bot to draft and manage a company Reddit presence, while keeping the actual posting in their own hands.

What they did
They built a Reddit agent for their SaaS instead of bringing on a social media manager. The system was meant to keep the account active around the clock, with support for posting, replies, and low-key product mentions. In practice, they said they were still the one making the posts for now, so the bot was not fully autonomous.
How it went
The thread did not include any performance numbers or hard outcomes. People in the discussion said a fully automated Reddit presence could seem fake or trigger moderation problems, so the setup stayed partly human-run.
Tips
Keep a person in the loop for posting and final approval, especially on communities that are sensitive to promotion. Use the agent to draft, sort, and monitor, but review anything public before it goes live.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

Help me manage Reddit for [company name], which makes [short description of product]. First, find [number] relevant subreddits and summarize their rules and tone. Then draft [number] comments or posts that are genuinely useful and only mention our product when it clearly fits and the subreddit allows it. Stop before publishing anything: show me the subreddit list, the rule summaries, and each draft for approval. Do not submit, post, vote, delete, or send any message until I explicitly approve each item. After I approve, only carry out the actions I confirm.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
