Track local Reddit leads and draft reply comments

A tattoo artist used Grok Bot agents to watch Reddit for local recommendation requests and prepare replies for human review.

What they did
They set up a small team of Grok Bot agents, with one focused on subreddits where people ask for tattoo artist suggestions in their city. The bot was meant to flag matching posts and, in some cases, write a reply draft instead of posting directly. Other users in the thread suggested safer ways to feed Reddit content into the bot, such as read-only browser access, RSS or JSON feeds, or third-party connectors.
How it went
The discussion stayed at the idea stage, so there’s no finished example with measured results. It did, however, show that Reddit can catch automated reading and that direct posting or sending DMs can lead to flags or bans.
Tips
Keep the agent read-only and let a person make the final post. If you automate this kind of workflow, use it only to surface leads and draft text, not to send messages on its own.

Try it yourself with Grok Bot

Check [subreddits] each day for posts in [city] where someone asks for [service] recommendations. For every match, pull out the post link, summarize why it fits, and write a short reply draft that mentions [my business] in a natural way. Stop before any posting, messaging, deleting, or other irreversible action, and wait for my approval before you do anything else.

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