The Scout

Reddit + Hacker News monitoring, with the reply already written.

Every day it sweeps Reddit and Hacker News for the conversations that matter to your product: people asking for exactly what you built, your users talking around the problem, and every brand or competitor mention. Each kept thread arrives judged, with an honest "why this thread" and a drafted reply. You post everything yourself.

01 A day with it

From the digest to a posted reply, honestly.

No demo theatrics: this is the actual loop, four beats long, five to ten minutes on the days there is anything at all. The digest email only lands when the gate kept something; you make a few quick calls, copy, post, done.

08:00 The digest lands
EMAIL · ONLY ON DAYS WITH NEWS3 conversationsworth your time today1 core ask · 1 mention · 1 adjacentquiet yesterday · nothing sent

A quiet day sends nothing. When the email arrives, it is because the gate kept something.

Each card says what surfaced it and why it is worth a reply. Skip anything, guilt-free.

The draft is already there; the variants reshape its tone, never the rules. Copy takes whatever is active.

Open the thread, paste, tweak anything that does not sound like you, tap post. Mark it replied and the day is clear.

02 What the judgment keeps out

Most keyword matches are noise. The gate's job is to say no.

Keyword alerts hand you every hit and make the noise your problem. The Scout reads the thread first: is it alive, is it your buyer, is there something specific to say? It judges with the same tiered gate as a launch, reads a few hundred threads on a typical day, and keeps two or three. Some days it keeps none, and says so plainly: a quiet day is the gate working, not the product idling.

Every kept card tells you both halves of the judgment: what surfaced it (the matched keyword, your brand, a competitor) and why it is worth replying. If either answer is weak, you never see the thread.

03 Pricing

One subscription. The only one we sell.

A launch ($15) and a warm-up ($15) are one-time jobs that complete. Watching the conversations is the one job here that never completes, so it is the one thing priced that way.

The Scout · the one subscription
$20 per month daily scans

Everything on the right, every day, for one product. Cancel anytime in the billing portal. Pausing stops the scans, not the billing.

The scout includes every day
Daily scans of Reddit + Hacker News Your product, your named competitors and your problem phrases, read against every new conversation. The first scan backfills the last month.
Tiered, honest judgment The same gate as a launch: core asks, adjacent talk, brand and competitor mentions, each labeled as what it is, with the reason on the card.
A drafted reply on every kept thread Grounded in what the thread actually said, critiqued before you see it, written in a human voice. You post it yourself.
Reply-shape variants More direct, softer, ask a question, shorter. Variants reshape the tone, never the rules a card carries.
The digest email Lands only on days with something new. A week of quiet days is a week of no email.
Account-standing awareness A cold or developing Reddit account gets seasoning notes and value-first drafts, not risky ones.
04 Honest boundaries

What this is, and what it is not.

The Scout earns a subscription with judgment, not volume, so the lines are explicit. Your accounts stay yours, and what happens in a thread after you post is between you and the community.

The scout does
Sweeps Reddit and Hacker News every day, and backfills the last month on its first scan.
Keeps only what deserves you, and says why: what surfaced each thread, and why it is worth replying.
Drafts every reply from what the thread actually said, with tone variants when you want a different shape.
Emails a digest only on days with something new. Quiet days send nothing.
It never
Posts, comments or votes from your accounts. You copy, paste and post everything yourself.
Scans beyond Reddit and Hacker News yet. No X, no Twitter in v1, and we say so instead of overselling.
Offers a dial that loosens the gate. The tone variants reshape a draft, never the rules it carries.
Blurs pause and cancel. Pausing stops the scans, not the billing; canceling, anytime in the billing portal, stops both.
05 FAQ

The obvious questions.

Yes, the one subscription we sell. The Scout is $20/mo, cancel anytime from the billing portal, no retention flow. Launches ($15) and warm-ups ($15) stay one-time, because those are jobs that complete. Daily scouting never completes, so it is priced like what it is.
The Scout

The conversations are happening either way.

Someone asked for a tool like yours today. The only question is whether you were in the thread. $20/mo, daily scans, cancel anytime, you post every reply yourself.
