I wasted 3 hours finding 2 relevant Reddit threads. So I built a fix

Every week I would spend way too long manually scrolling Reddit,
HN and IndieHackers looking for conversations where I could
add value and find potential users.

By the time I found something good, it was 3 days old.
The timing was gone.

So I built AXL it scans Reddit, Hacker News, IndieHackers
and Product Hunt in real-time, scores every thread by
relevance to your product, and drafts a founder-authentic
reply for each one.

Still early, but it's working for me. Would love feedback
from founders who've felt this exact pain.

    Ha, I've been building something in the same space — a personal CLI that pulls fresh threads from Reddit/X/IH/Discord. Different goals (just for me, not a product), but the core problem space overlaps. Curious about two things: how does AXL handle it when the relevance score disagrees with the user's gut? And on the AI-drafted replies — do users mostly send them as-is or heavily edit?

      Yep valid questions that you have raised so basically for now the relevance score is basically given by the basic keyword matching and then if an above 90 score hasn't been clicked it automatically lowers the scoring and then the keywords in the 90 score that hasn't been clicked will be marked and hence it cause some sort of regression if you feel me
      Well you could edit the ai drafted replies but I have made sure that it works perfectly fine but yea i get your point

      Would love to connect with you and have a quick chat

    Finding the right conversations at the right time is usually harder than building the product itself.

    Most people underestimate how much distribution depends on timing.
