GummySearch died, so we built the Reddit lead gen tool we wished existed
GummySearch shut down in November 2025 when Reddit's commercial API terms killed its model. We were using it to find customers, and the workflow disappeared overnight.
What it left behind is a specific gap. Monitoring is a solved problem: F5Bot and Syften will happily email you every post that contains your keyword. The problem is qualification. Fifty alerts a day, and maybe three are someone actually asking for a product like yours. Reading the other forty-seven is why most founders quit Reddit lead gen after three weeks.
So we built Grabbit. You describe your business, it suggests subreddits, watches them on a schedule, and an AI scores every new post for relevancy before you see anything. You read a qualified queue instead of a firehose, and you reply yourself from the dashboard with your own Reddit account.
Honest numbers from running it on one of our own projects for 30 days: 1,947 posts scraped across 5 subreddit feeds, 363 qualified as medium or high relevancy. Roughly 1 post in 5 was worth a human's attention. That ratio is the whole product.
Two decisions that might be controversial here:
No AI replies and no auto-posting, ever. Tools that promise that get accounts banned and make Reddit worse for everyone. A human approves every reply.
We shipped an MCP server before most other integrations. If you work inside Claude or another AI agent, you can ask it things like "which of my projects got the most leads this week" and it queries Grabbit directly.
Where we are today: beta is out with a waitlist, revenue is effectively zero, the blog is four posts old, and the domain has zero backlinks. Building it in public from here.
Curious how other founders handle Reddit today: monitoring tool, manual browsing, or gave up on it entirely?
