Get customers from the conversations
already happening about your space.
Thread Otter finds the threads where buyers ask for what you build across Reddit, X, Bluesky, and LinkedIn, then drafts replies and DMs in your voice. On autopilot, paced so your accounts stay safe.
Free demo. No signup. Results in 30 seconds.
Reddit and X replies are always you-hit-send. Two opt-in exceptions publish through the platform's official API on accounts you connect: posts you schedule (X & Bluesky), and Bluesky auto-reply (off by default). Never a covert bot.
Live numbers, refreshed hourly. Not projections.
The thesis
Replies aren't the hard part.
Picking which ones is.
Your buyers are posting questions you could answer right now. Reply to the wrong threads and you burn your window and miss the ones that turn into customers. Otter answers which ones before it drafts.
From 2 hours scrolling to 5 minutes approving.
How it works
From URL to customers
in three steps.
Connect your product
Drop your URL. Otter reads your website, docs, blog, changelog, and pricing, then keeps them fresh on a schedule. No manual setup.

Otter finds the conversations
Watches the communities + keywords you pick across Reddit, X, and Bluesky, plus the LinkedIn company pages + profiles you track. Scores every mention against your product for buying intent and ICP fit. Drafts each one in your voice.

You wake up to a queue

Pulse
A score on every thread.
Otter watches the communities and keywords you pick across Reddit, X, and Bluesky, plus the LinkedIn company pages and profiles you track, and surfaces the buyers worth replying to first. Every mention runs through 8+ signals: intent classification, ICP fit, OP account age, karma, declared role, post history, source quality multiplier, and your past conversion patterns. Ranked by what matters to you, not raw recency.
On LinkedIn you watch specific company pages and profiles. Their posts (and who engages) surface in the same inbox. Replies go out through the Chrome extension, you-hit-send.

Anyone tried using AI to handle community replies?
I run two micro-SaaS and the response volume on Reddit is starting to crush my evenings...
SurfacedHow are you all balancing outreach with shipping?
Pre-PMF, paid ads burn money. Every founder I talk to says the same thing. Manual replies are the only thing that works.

No paid acquisition. Zero ad budget. Just six months of replying to threads where someone described our exact problem...

Hot Lane + DraftReady
Wake up to a queue,
drafted while you slept.
Set your relevance threshold. Otter auto-engages every mention that clears it, drafts the reply in your voice, and stacks a day's worth of buyer conversations in your queue overnight. You open it once a day, skim top-to-bottom, and ship the ones worth it.
The extension opens a tab per draft with the reply pre-filled. You click submit on each. Sent from your real browser. Nothing for the platform to detect, because there's nothing automated about the send.
Morning Brief
You don't check Otter. Otter checks in.
A daily email at your chosen hour with today's queue. When the queue piles up mid-day, a second email fires. One tap lands you on the review page. No login.
Voice Match + Live Brief
Your voice. Your product.
Every reply.
Voice Match learns from posts you've actually written across Reddit, X, and Bluesky, plus every edit you make before sending. The drafts converge on you, not a preset.
Live Brief keeps your product context current. Otter auto-refreshes your website, docs, blog, changelog, and pricing on a schedule. Ship a feature at 9am, accurate reply by 9:15.
What's the most reliable way to get early users without paid ads?
Pre-revenue SaaS. Bootstrapping. I keep hearing "just reply to threads on Reddit and Twitter" but the time cost is real and I'm not sure what actually converts vs. what just feels productive...
Thread OtterHonestly the only thing that's worked for us pre-PMF is replying to threads like this one. Paid ads burn cash before you have PMF to convert it. The trick is keeping it sustainable. I was doing it manually for two months before I realized I needed a system. Happy to share what stuck and what didn't if useful.
Honest comparison
Why not just …?
We're not the only way to reply to threads. Here's where each obvious substitute falls down.
ChatGPT alone
Good at: Drafts replies fast.
Where it stops: No project context. Doesn't decide which threads. You re-paste your positioning every single time.
AI SDR tools
Good at: Cold DMs to LinkedIn at scale.
Where it stops: Auto-sends with your name attached. LinkedIn-only. Account-ban risk. Wrong category for warm replies on public threads.
LinkedIn engagement tools
Good at: Helps you reply on LinkedIn.
Where it stops: LinkedIn-only. No project corpus. No outcome attribution. Doesn't know your product changelog or what's already converted.
Schedulers (Buffer, Hypefury)
Good at: Plans your posting calendar.
Where it stops: Calendar, not signal. Doesn't surface what to reply to. Doesn't draft in voice. Replies and outcomes are still your problem.
A CRM
Good at: Logs everything.
Where it stops: Doesn't draft. Doesn't surface threads. Requires manual entry. Exactly the friction that kills daily reps.
Doing it manually
Good at: Free. Works.
Where it stops: Five tabs at 11pm and a ChatGPT round-trip per reply. Fine for week one. Unsustainable by week three.
FAQ
The questions you're
actually asking.
Will using Thread Otter get me banned from Reddit or X?
Not from the tooling. Your replies are sent by you: the extension pre-fills the draft in your own logged-in browser and you click submit. No headless browser, no shared session token, no bot. Where we do publish for you, posts you schedule, or opt-in Bluesky auto-reply (off by default), it goes through the platform's own official API on an account you explicitly connect, which is the sanctioned path, not covert automation. What actually gets accounts banned is spammy content and volume, not assisted drafting, which is why every draft is grounded in your product context and voice, scored for relevance, and why we pace your posting rather than blast it.
Is this against Reddit's or X's terms of service?
Thread Otter reads public threads via official APIs and public feeds. On Reddit, posting is always you-hit-send from your own logged-in browser via the extension. On X and Bluesky, your replies are you-hit-send too, and anything we publish for you, posts you schedule, or opt-in Bluesky auto-reply, goes through that platform's own official posting API on an account you explicitly connect. Assisted writing and sanctioned APIs are on the right side of the line; covert bot automation, headless browsers, and shared session tokens are not, and that's the line AI-SDR auto-senders cross and we deliberately don't.
How is this different from Syften, F5Bot, or GummySearch?
Those are monitoring tools: they tell you a keyword was mentioned, and the rest is on you. Thread Otter covers the whole loop: it watches your communities and keywords, scores every mention against your actual product and ICP (not just keyword-match), drafts the reply in your voice grounded in your live product docs, queues the best ones for a single morning review pass, and tracks which replies turned into signups. Syften and F5Bot even plug into Thread Otter as optional extra feeds.
What exactly do I do each day?
Open the morning email, skim the queue, edit anything that needs your touch, and approve the ones worth sending. The extension opens each thread with the reply pre-filled; you click submit. The daily loop is minutes of editing, not hours of scrolling. That's the entire workflow: the watching, scoring, and drafting happened while you slept.
