Stop reading Reddit alerts. The F5Bot alternative that drafts the reply.

F5Bot emails you every time your keyword appears. SignalSeek watches the subreddits your buyers use, scores each post and comment for whether a reply is worth writing, drops the rest, and hands you a draft. Reddit only. You post by hand.

  • Open a short list of scored Reddit threads instead of an inbox of keyword alerts
  • See why each one scored: the term that matched, the snippet, and both scores
  • Start from a reply written for that thread that already passed a quality gate, and post it yourself

Anyone tried tools that draft Reddit replies that don't feel robotic?

Reddit is goldmine but I have no time to monitor it

Suggested reply

“Same boat for the first six months — what flipped it for me was treating Reddit as research, not a megaphone. I started noting which subs my buyers actually hung out in and only replying when I had a story to share. Took the stress out of it.”

The problem

A keyword alert is not a lead

Your keyword fired. Now you open the email, open the thread, read twenty comments, and decide whether this is a buyer or a student writing a class project. Then you write a reply that does not read as promotion. Then the next alert lands, and the one after it, all day.

  • You read every alert to find the handful that matter, and every part of that sorting is yours
  • You miss the good threads because they arrived in the same inbox as the noise, and you stopped opening it
  • You go quiet, because writing a reply that helps rather than sells takes longer than the alert took to arrive

How it works

From one product description to a short list of scored threads

  1. Describe the product

    Tell SignalSeek what you sell, who it helps, and what problem it removes. One form, no keyword list.

  2. SignalSeek builds the strategy

    It generates the search terms, picks the subreddits, and writes the reply persona. Monitoring starts the moment the strategy lands.

  3. first matches on the next 15-minute pass

    Read the scored matches and post by hand

    Your subreddits get checked every 15 minutes by default. Matches that clear the thresholds arrive in a digest email and on your dashboard, each with a checked draft. You open Reddit and post it yourself.

Features

Keyword matching is the pre-filter, not the answer

Strategy

You never write a keyword list

You describe the product, the audience, and the problem. SignalSeek generates the search terms, the subreddits, and the reply persona from that description. If it picks a subreddit you do not want, you remove it.

A search term of two or more significant words has to match on more than one of them, so "how people use AI with Obsidian" does not fire on the word "obsidian" alone.

Scoring

The short list is scored, not matched

Keyword matching is only the pre-filter. An AI analysis scores each survivor for opportunity quality and reply-worthiness, and a threshold gate drops the rest. Each surviving match keeps the evidence that explains it.

Defaults are 0.8 for opportunity quality and 0.7 for reply-worthiness, adjustable per campaign. Matches found by historical search face a stricter bar than live posts.

Drafts

A draft that failed the check never reaches you

Each surfaced match gets a reply written for that thread. A deterministic guardrail scan and an AI judge check it, with a repair attempt when it fails. A draft that still fails is not shown. SignalSeek never posts. You post by hand.

The guardrail scan is rule-based and runs first. The judge fails closed, so an unavailable judge blocks the draft rather than waving it through.

Thread · r/SaaS
“Half my week is just rewatching meeting recordings to find what I committed to. There has to be a better way.”
Drafted reply, after both gates
I had this exact pattern. What unblocked me wasn't a longer meeting — it was a tool that surfaces just the commitments right after the call. Curious what others use.

Matched on outreach tool feels spammy

Tried four outreach tools this year and every one of them made me sound like a bot. What are people actually using?

Drafted reply

Same problem here for most of last year. What changed it for me was dropping the tools that write the message and keeping the one that only tells me which thread is worth answering — I still write the reply myself, which is the part that stops it sounding automated. Happy to say what I settled on if that is useful.

Passed the guardrail scan, passed the judge on the first attempt

Example, not customer results.

In short

You describe the product. SignalSeek scores the threads. You post the reply.

See plans

Quality gate

You see the criterion a draft failed on, not just a score

A deterministic guardrail scan runs first, then an AI judge checks the draft against six criteria. A draft that fails is dropped with the reason named, so it never reaches your digest.

Parent post context

Suggested angle

AI quality: Failed83%

Pivot from finding self-promo-friendly subs to finding conversations where your product is the answer. Mention that SignalSeek automates this exact hunt.

Why it failed

Helpful idea, wrong target: it answers the broader thread instead of the comment author's specific question.

What you get

Three facts you can hold us to

default interval
15m

Every 15 minutes by default

Your subreddits get checked on that interval, so you reach the thread while it is still moving.

opportunity-quality floor
0.8

Two scored thresholds decide what you see

Opportunity quality at 0.8 and reply-worthiness at 0.7 by default, which is why the list stays short enough to read in a coffee break.

Where this goes

Reddit monitoring you can run from Claude. A human always posts.

The next few years hand every founder an agent that can read the whole internet on their behalf. The question is what you let it do once it has read.

  • 01An alert that still needs a human to triage it has not finished its job
  • 02The tools that post for you are the tools that get the account banned
  • 03An agent should be free to find and to score, and never free to speak in your name

Validation analytics · Scale plan

See how much people are actually voicing this problem on Reddit

Same scores, longer window. Every search term and subreddit gets its own scorecard: matches, approval rate, drafts. Watch it over time to see whether people keep raising the problem or you are chasing noise. It is a read on Reddit conversation, not on willingness to pay or market size.

Pricing

Free while we're in beta.

Every account gets the Scale plan, every feature, no card. Clicking the button opens the campaign form, not a checkout.

SignalSeek is free for everyone during the beta. Full access, every feature, no card required. Paid plans return at launch, and the beta is the trial.

Q.01Do I have to write the keywords, and how often does it check?

No keywords. You write a description of the product, the audience, and the problem, and SignalSeek generates the search terms, the subreddits, and the reply persona from it. It then checks those subreddits every 15 minutes by default, on posts and on comments. Both the strategy and the interval are yours to edit.

Q.02What is actually in each plan?

Starter is 1 campaign with live monitoring of new posts and comments, and no historical search. Growth is 5 campaigns and adds historical Reddit search. Scale is unlimited campaigns and adds AI usage and cost analytics with per-term and per-subreddit breakdowns.

Q.03What does it cost me today?

Nothing while the beta is on. Every account gets Scale, every feature, no card. There is no separate trial: the beta is the trial, and the prices above are what starts when it ends.

Q.04Can I cancel?

Yes. It is billed monthly and you can cancel when you no longer need active campaign monitoring.

Q.05Who do I talk to when something breaks?

Reach SignalSeek through @jsifalda on X, the link at the bottom of this page. That is the only support channel.

Q.06Does SignalSeek post to Reddit for me?

No, and it cannot. There is no posting feature on any plan, and no step where you connect a Reddit account. You copy the draft, open the thread, and post from your own account.

Q.07Will this get my Reddit account banned?

SignalSeek never logs in as you, never posts, and never touches your account, so there is no automated footprint on your side. What happens next is down to how you reply. Read the subreddit's rules, and do not send a draft unedited into a thread where it does not belong.
