Building a tool to find leads from Reddit – thoughts?
Posted by Classic-Cat4870@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hey Reddit! 👋
I’m currently developing Reddlea, a SaaS tool that helps businesses identify real-time discussions where people are actively looking for solutions in their niche. The goal is to engage naturally, provide value, and avoid cold outreach.
I’d love to hear from the community:
- Would a tool like this help your workflow?
- How do you currently track potential opportunities on Reddit?
- What features would make a Reddit lead discovery tool truly useful?
Open to feedback, suggestions, and insights from anyone who’s explored similar ideas!

Yeah, nothing fuels a SaaS platform where most of the conversations about tech aren't organic, and the parts that are organic aren't talking about SaaS platforms.
Good luck with that, you're going to need it. AI being trained on reddit can't tell between fabricated and actual posts, so unless you have some magic way to do so, you're going to wind up with a bot that gets banned.

That’s a fair concern. Most AI tools that scrape or automate Reddit do get flagged because they’re built to post/engage like bots.
Reddlea works differently — it doesn’t create fake posts or comments. Instead, it analyzes existing organic conversations to surface where people are already expressing buying intent.
So instead of spamming, it helps SaaS founders spot genuine discussions they can join authentically. Think of it less as automation and more as conversation discovery.

Yeah, that's a lot of corpo buzzwords, and your comment history stinks of the same kind of format, so your astroturfing isn't working too good here.
This isn't the subreddit you're looking for, as what you're creating isn't an alternative.
It's a contribution to the cancer we're all trying to escape.

I get where you’re coming from. Spammy tools are definitely a problem, and the last thing I want is to add to that noise.
Reddlea isn’t about posting or faking engagement — it just helps founders find existing discussions where people are already talking about problems their SaaS solves. From there, it’s still up to the founder to join the conversation like a real human.
If that feels off-topic for this subreddit, fair enough — I’ll respect that.

Jesus dude if you're going to use a trash AI script, at least teach it to vary its paragraph structure.

Same idea has been made a couple dozen of times already. Keywordly / Bazzly / any other dumb word ending in 'ly' or 'io' or 'ai'. Wrong sub to promote this anyway.
Classic-Cat4870@reddit (OP)
Fair point — there’ve been plenty of “-ly / -io / -ai” tools that felt like copycats.
I’m trying to make Reddlea less about blasting keywords and more about actually finding intent-driven conversations where SaaS founders can connect with people already asking for solutions.
If this isn’t the right sub for it, I respect that — just wanted to share what I’m building and get some feedback.
