A reusable agent prompt for finding Reddit questions your product can actually answer
investigatormaker · reddit · 2026-10-01
A Reddit automation practitioner shares a carefully specified agent task: feed it your shipped capabilities, target user, and — crucially — what the product does NOT do, then have it find up to three unanswered Reddit questions from the past week that match real capabilities, with permalinks, verbatim tasks, and an evidence table. The key insight: 'small business' is a topic, 'how do I spot overdue invoices without diffing two spreadsheets' is a task — and a shortlist alone proves neither demand nor willingness to pay.
