What problem does it solve?
Manually scouring Reddit for potential customer development interview candidates is time-consuming and inconsistent, especially for pre-launch startups targeting niche user segments like group celebration planners. This Skill automates the end-to-end workflow of finding users experiencing relevant pain, scoring them for interview worthiness, and drafting personalized outreach, cutting top-of-funnel research time from hours to minutes while ensuring no high-value candidates are missed.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dual profiling modes: Supports a default
pain profile for users venting about general celebration-planning stress, and a switching profile for users complaining about operational pain with incumbent tools like venue lead forms, to target two high-value interview archetypes.
- Automated scoring & filtering: Uses a 0-7 rubric to score posts based on pain severity, trigger events, workarounds, and other high-signal markers, with built-in filters to exclude wedding-planning content (wrong product fit), banned subreddits, and off-topic posts.
- Personalized DM drafting: Generates tailored outreach messages for each qualifying candidate, referencing their specific situation to increase response rates, and sends all drafts to Telegram for manual review to ensure no automatic Reddit messaging.
- Use Case: A founder pre-launching a group celebration planning app can run this skill daily to receive a curated list of pre-qualified Reddit users to interview, with ready-to-send DMs, no manual Reddit scrolling required.
