How It Works

Step 1: Target Your Audience

Enter subreddit names (e.g. startups, webdev, smallbusiness) or search keywords (e.g. "looking for a developer", "need help with", "recommend a tool").

Step 2: Set Your Filters

Choose sort order, time range, and minimum engagement thresholds. Only collect posts that matter — skip low-quality noise.

Step 3: (Optional) Enable AI Lead Scoring

Describe your ideal lead in plain English:

"I want posts from startup founders asking for technical advice about scaling, or anyone looking to hire a developer or contractor."

The AI scores every post 0–100 on relevance and drops anything below 50. No API key needed — it works out of the box. Bring your own Groq key for higher rate limits.

Step 4: Export & Take Action

Download your results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Plug into your CRM via Apify integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks). Each lead includes a direct Reddit permalink so you can engage immediately.

AI Lead Filtering — Your Unfair Advantage

Most scrapers give you raw data and leave you to sort through hundreds of irrelevant posts manually. The AI Lead Filter does the qualification for you:

1. You describe your ideal lead in plain English
2. Every scraped post is scored 0–100 by AI on how well it matches
3. Only posts scoring 50+ make it to your final dataset
4. Each passing lead includes the AI's reasoning, so you can prioritize

Works out of the box — no API key needed. We provide a built-in Groq key so you can start filtering immediately. For heavy usage or higher rate limits, bring your own free key from groq.com. Powered by llama-3.1-8b-instant for fast, cheap inference.
