How Reduck does it

Reduck's scripts run in your own Chrome, through the Reduck extension, where you are signed in to Reddit and X:

  1. You ask: "Every morning, find what people said about my product and my two competitors on Reddit and X since yesterday."
  2. The agent searches Reddit and the subreddits you pick, newest first, and searches X for each name.
  3. It reads the posts that match, with their replies and quote posts.
  4. It drops the ones that only share a word with your brand, and tells you what people say, good and bad, with a link to each post.
