Discover Pain Points and Trends While You Sleep

A crawler that monitors Reddit and Hacker News, filters posts by your interests, and delivers a personalized digest to Telegram every morning. Perfect for product research, competitor monitoring, and lead discovery.

How It Works

The reddit-readonly skill pulls hot, new, and top posts from your target subreddits — no Reddit API auth needed. Your agent filters by keywords, scores relevance, and summarizes the best discussions. A memory file tracks your preferences and improves over time.

Real-World Examples
