Reddit replies drafted for you, posted by you
It finds the threads worth answering and writes the reply. Pasting it is your job, on purpose.
Reddit is where people describe your problem in their own words, in public, at the moment they care about it. That makes it the best place for a small product to be found and the easiest place to get thrown out. Both facts come from the same source: the people there can tell when a comment was written by a marketer.
The job to be done
The work has three parts. Find the threads where someone is actually asking for what you built. Write a reply that is useful even to a reader who never clicks your link. Post it as yourself, on an account with a history.
Part one is search and reading, and it is slow. Part two is writing, and it is repetitive. Part three has to be a human, because a comment posted by software on Reddit is the thing that gets accounts removed and products blacklisted.
AutoTraction does one and two. It leaves three with you, deliberately.
How it works, step by step
- You enter your website. It reads your product, works out who it is for and how you sound.
- It looks for the threads on Reddit, X and LinkedIn where people are already asking for what you built.
- For each thread worth answering, it drafts your reply in your voice, written to be useful on its own rather than an advert with a link on the end.
- The draft lands in your morning briefing, next to the thread.
- You read it. If it is right, you paste it. If it is not, you reject it or rewrite it in your own words.
- It tracks which replies brought signups rather than views, and drafts more like the ones that worked.
Before you turn any of this on, read the ground rules: Reddit self-promotion rules by subreddit. Subreddits differ a lot, and the fastest way to waste an account is to answer well in the wrong room. The same pattern applied to X is covered in why replies beat posts on X.
What you approve versus what runs
| Step | Who |
|---|---|
| Finding the threads | Runs without you |
| Deciding a thread is worth answering | Runs, then you confirm |
| Writing the draft | Runs without you |
| Publishing the reply | You, always |
| Answering the follow-up questions | You |
There is no setting that changes the fourth row. Replies on Reddit and X are drafted for you and you paste them. That is the design.
Safety
Three things keep your accounts intact.
- Replies are never auto-posted. Your comment history stays a human's comment history.
- Publishing to your own social channels goes through official APIs, at human pace. TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Facebook, on accounts you already own. No unofficial automation, no scraped logins.
- Nothing sprays comments at scale. There is no volume dial, because volume is the thing that gets caught.
The honest limit of this approach: you have to actually paste. If you will not spend the minute a day, this channel will not work for you no matter what software you buy.
AutoTraction versus doing it by hand
The hours below are the rough shape of the manual job for a founder working one product. Your numbers will differ. The right-hand column is the part AutoTraction cannot remove, because it is you.
| Task | By hand, per week | With AutoTraction |
|---|---|---|
| Searching for relevant threads | 2 to 3 hours | None |
| Reading threads to judge fit | 1 to 2 hours | None |
| Writing each reply | 1 to 2 hours | None |
| Reading the draft and pasting it | Included above | A few minutes a day |
| Working out which replies worked | Usually skipped | Tracked for you |
The four minutes a day AutoTraction asks for covers this and everything else it runs: a morning briefing, a few approvals, and the conversations worth answering yourself. The full daily shape is in the four-minute marketing routine.
Which plan includes it
All of them. Finding relevant threads on Reddit, X and LinkedIn and drafting replies is included on every plan, starting with Solo at $19 a month. Plans differ on credits, outreach channels and campaign counts, not on this. See the pricing page for the full list.
Related features: TikTok and Instagram carousels for the content side, and cold email outreach with your own mailbox for the channel where you do write first. And if your landing page is what the thread will send people to, grade it first with the free site grader.
Does AutoTraction post to Reddit for me?
No. It finds the thread and writes the draft. You paste it from your own account. There is no mode that changes this.
Will my Reddit account get banned?
Nothing is posted by software, so there is no automation pattern to detect. What can still get you removed is posting promotional comments in subreddits that forbid them, which is a judgement call you make when you decide whether to paste. The per-subreddit rules are worth reading first.
Can I edit the draft before posting?
Yes, and you should when the thread needs it. The draft is a starting point. The thread is yours to answer in your own words.
Does it cover X and LinkedIn too?
Yes. It finds relevant threads on Reddit, X and LinkedIn and drafts replies for all three. Posts to your own channels are published for you; replies are always pasted by you.
