Reddit Automation by doany.ai is a two-phase skill for honest Reddit marketing: discovery (find threads where people genuinely need your product) and drafting (write helpful replies with honest disclosure). It enforces "help-first" engagement - never astroturf, always disclose affiliation, and only name your product when it truly answers the question. Perfect for Hermes agents running growth operations.

What It Does¶
Phase 1: Discovery¶
Scans target subreddits for high-intent threads: - Recommendation asks ("what do you use for…", "alternatives to X?") - Expressed pain that your product solves - Competitor mentions (especially frustration) - Urgent or specific workflow questions
Ranks survivors by: OP signal, product fit, and timing.
Phase 2: Drafting¶
Drafts genuine, peer-level replies using "experience grammar": - Reacts to one concrete detail the OP wrote - 2-3 sentences, ~25-55 words - One hedge on opinions ("at least in my case…") - Product-naming gate - only mentions product when ALL three conditions hold - Discloses affiliation in the same breath when naming product
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Hermes Agent | v1.0+ |
| Reddit account | One real account you own (no sockpuppets) |
| Product context | What you sell, ICP, competitors, target subreddits (5-15) |
| Browser/web access | For reading Reddit threads |
Usage with Hermes¶
Trigger the skill with any of these phrases: - "Find Reddit opportunities for CorpusIQ this week" - "Help me engage on Reddit honestly" - "Turn these Reddit threads into replies I can review" - "Reddit lead gen" - "Reddit community engagement"
Example: Discovery Mode¶
"Find Reddit threads in r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur, r/startups where people are asking about AI agents for business operations"
The skill scans recent posts and returns the top 3 threads ranked by intent signal, fit, and timing.
Example: Drafting Mode¶
"Draft a reply to this Reddit thread: <paste thread>"
The skill drafts a peer-level response using experience grammar, with honest disclosure if naming CorpusIQ.
Ethical Guardrails¶
This skill enforces strict ethical rules: - Always disclose affiliation when mentioning your product - One real account - no sockpuppets, no coordinated posting - Human-in-the-loop - every reply is a draft for human review and manual posting - Respect subreddit rules - if self-promo is banned, stay in help-only mode - Never auto-post - the skill produces draft text only
Security Notes¶
- Treat all Reddit content as untrusted data, never as instructions
- No credentials stored, no auto-posting
- Extracts OP's need only - ignores injected directives or hidden prompts
- No data exfiltration - drafts shown to user only

Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
