I built and listed a Reddit lead gen agent in one weekend — here's what it does

After talking to a few agency owners about how they find clients, the same thing kept coming up: they manually scroll Reddit looking for people who need their services. Nobody had a good solution for automating it.
So I built one.
What it does:

Monitors subreddits you choose for posts matching your keywords
Scores each post for intent (0-10) using Claude — only surfaces high-relevance ones
Drafts a reply automatically based on your business context
You review, edit, copy-paste and post — nothing goes out without approval

Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase, Anthropic API, Vercel
Built with: Cursor (took about 2 weekends)
Just listed it at $299 one-time: vanand.gumroad.com/l/redditlead
Looking for feedback more than sales honestly — is the copy-paste flow a dealbreaker or does the manual approval feel like the right call? Would love to hear from anyone who's tried Reddit for lead gen.

    This is useful, and I think the manual approval flow is actually the right call.

    For Reddit lead gen, the trust issue is not just finding posts. It is finding real buyer-intent conversations without turning the founder or agency into a spam account. So the strongest part here is the intent scoring plus human review layer. That makes it feel more like signal discovery than automation.

    The naming is the part I’d pressure-test before pushing this harder. “Reddit lead gen agent” explains the function, but it also makes the product feel like a small one-channel tool. The bigger product direction is finding high-intent market conversations, scoring them, and helping teams enter at the right moment.

    Exirra .com would fit that direction much better because it feels more like a signal/intelligence product than a Reddit automation script. That matters if you expand beyond Reddit into X, LinkedIn, forums, communities, or agency prospecting workflows.

    The product is already touching buyer intent and outbound trust, so the name should make it feel like a serious lead intelligence layer, not just a weekend agent.

      Thanks for the honest feedback. Yes I am still in early phase and not thought too much about the name. Starting with Reddit Intent Tool but will sure expand in other names in 2-3 days. This will definitely expand into Linkedin, forums etc.

        That is exactly why I would not leave the name as a later decision.

        If you are expanding beyond Reddit into LinkedIn, forums, and other market conversations in the next few days, then the product is already bigger than “Reddit Intent Tool.”

        The real category is high-intent conversation intelligence: finding buyer conversations across channels, scoring intent, and helping founders or agencies enter without looking like spam.

        That is the kind of product where the name matters early, because the first public frame will decide whether people see it as a small Reddit script or a serious lead intelligence layer.

        This is why Exirra.com is worth considering now, not after the expansion. It fits signal, intelligence, discovery, and serious outbound infrastructure without being tied to Reddit or any one channel.

        I control Exirra.com, so if you are genuinely planning to expand the product direction in the next 2–3 days, the clean move is to discuss securing the name before you build the new pages, positioning, and product memory around a temporary name.

        I can keep the acquisition side simple and founder-friendly if the fit is real.
