Drafting a forum placement

Reddit + LinkedIn opportunity discovery, draft generation, the drive-by-AI warning.

A Social opportunity is a Reddit or LinkedIn thread / post / question where your business could plausibly contribute, derived from real LLM citations or web searches against your buyer prompts. Each opportunity comes with grounding metadata: which engine cited the source URL, which competitor is winning there, and why this fits your business.

Discovery scopes

  • Quick discovery (1 credit) — reuses recent citation results plus a small Tavily top-up.
  • Full discovery (2 credits) — broader search with a mini-probe pass. Best for first-time runs or when you’ve added new competitors.

Four content variants

  • Reply — a response to an existing thread. Reddit: thread-tone reply with flair suggestion. LinkedIn: comment on a post.
  • Question — your own question to spark discussion (Reddit subreddit choice, LinkedIn audience hint).
  • Post — a top-level post. LinkedIn-style insight or Reddit-style discussion starter.
  • Article — routes through the full Article pipeline (Doc 14) with a SOCIAL_LINKEDIN adaptation flag on the polish pass. 2 credits charged on the social side; the article pipeline cost is absorbed.

Drafting (2 credits)

Click Generate draft on any DISCOVERED opportunity. The agent produces a body sized for the platform, polishes it (AI-detection score, issues), and saves. Status moves DISCOVERED → DRAFT → USER_EDITING.

The drive-by-AI warning

Reddit and LinkedIn penalise low-effort AI content. We separate the agent’s draft from your edited body — you commit changes before posting. After three posts marked done WITHOUT editing the draft first, the editor surfaces a recurring warning about platform penalties. The signal we care about is whether your reply reads like you wrote it.
