Reddinbox Platform Help
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
-
What do you need help with?
- A) Setting up monitoring queries (natural language, topics, competitors)
- B) Tuning intent scoring / filtering relevance
- C) Market briefs aren't actionable enough
- D) Validating a startup idea or product concept
- E) Finding high-intent threads to engage with
- F) Understanding pricing / plan limits
- G) Something else — describe it -
Which plan are you on?
- A) Free trial (no credit card)
- B) Starter ($39/mo — 3 market briefs, standard research)
- C) Pro ($99/mo — unlimited conversations, 5 market briefs, extended research) -
What's your primary goal?
- A) Pain point discovery (what are people complaining about?)
- B) Competitive intelligence (what do people say about competitors?)
- C) Idea validation (is there real demand for this?)
- D) Lead generation (find high-intent prospects)
- E) Content research (what topics resonate?)
If the user's request already provides context, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
- Multi-platform monitoring with Boolean search →
/sales-social-listening [question] - Reddit auto-reply or comment publishing →
/sales-keymentions [question] - Reddit monitoring with API/webhooks/MCP →
/sales-octolens [question] - Social listening tool comparison →
/sales-social-listening which tool should I pick
Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below.
Step 3 — Reddinbox platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, query strategy, intent scoring, and market brief optimization.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Focus on the user's specific situation:
- Query design — use natural language describing the problem your audience has, not brand names
- Intent scoring — focus on 70+ scores for active buyers; 40-70 for research phase
- Market briefs — refine topic scope if briefs are too generic; narrow by audience segment
- Idea validation — look for frequency and urgency signals, not just existence of mentions
If you discover a gotcha or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about platform capabilities that may change.
- No API, webhooks, or integrations. Reddinbox is entirely UI-driven. You cannot export data programmatically, connect to CRM/Slack, or build automations. If you need programmatic access, use Octolens or Syften instead.
- No Boolean search. Queries are natural language only. You cannot use AND/OR/NOT operators. This is simpler but less precise — if you need Boolean control, use Awario, Syften, or Brand24.
- Market brief limits are hard caps. Starter gets 3 briefs, Pro gets 5. Briefs reset monthly. If you burn them on vague topics, you've wasted them for the cycle.
- AI filtering may be over-aggressive. The spam/AI-slop filter can suppress legitimate mentions that happen to match AI-content patterns. Check manually if you suspect you're missing relevant conversations.
- No sentiment scoring. Unlike traditional social listening tools, Reddinbox scores by purchase intent (1-100) rather than positive/negative sentiment. If you need sentiment analysis, pair with another tool.
- Quora is "coming soon" indefinitely. Don't choose Reddinbox based on Quora coverage — it's not live yet.
- No historical data export. Insights disappear after your subscription ends. Save/screenshot anything important.

Examples
Example 1: Validate a startup idea using community conversations
User says: "I want to know if people actually need an AI tool that summarizes Slack threads"
Skill does:
1. Reads platform guide for query strategy
2. Suggests queries: "Slack threads are overwhelming", "too many Slack messages", "miss important Slack conversations"
3. Recommends checking intent scores — 70+ signals active solution-seeking
4. Advises using market brief to synthesize pain point patterns across Reddit, HN, and X
Result: Structured validation with frequency and urgency signals from real conversations
Example 2: Intent scoring flagging irrelevant threads
User says: "I keep getting high intent scores for threads that have nothing to do with my product"
Skill does:
1. Reads platform guide troubleshooting
2. Identifies likely cause: queries are too broad or matching adjacent topics
3. Recommends narrowing queries to include specific problem language, not category terms
4. Suggests using market brief to identify which sub-topics are generating false positives
Result: Refined queries producing more accurate intent signals
Example 3: Market briefs are too generic
User says: "My market briefs just tell me obvious things I already know"
Skill does:
1. Reads platform guide on brief optimization
2. Identifies likely cause: topic is too broad (e.g., "CRM" instead of "CRM for solo consultants who hate data entry")
3. Recommends: narrow by audience segment, add competitor names, focus on a specific pain point
4. Notes Pro plan gives 5 briefs vs Starter's 3 — suggests saving briefs for narrower, more specific queries
Result: Actionable brief optimization strategy
Troubleshooting
Monitoring returns conversations from unrelated communities
Symptom: Getting insights from subreddits or platforms that have nothing to do with your target audience
Cause: Natural language queries are interpreted broadly without platform/community constraints
Solution: Make queries more specific by including audience identifiers ("SaaS founders struggling with...", "freelance designers looking for..."). If a particular platform is consistently irrelevant, note it and focus your analysis on the platforms that matter.
AI filtering suppressing relevant mentions
Symptom: You know conversations exist (you've seen them manually) but Reddinbox isn't surfacing them
Cause: The AI spam/slop filter is classifying legitimate posts as low-quality, possibly because they contain links, use promotional language, or are short
Solution: Check if the post matches any AI-content or spam patterns (affiliate links, promotional tone, very short posts). If legitimate posts are consistently filtered, contact support — the filter thresholds may need adjustment for your use case.
Intent scores don't correlate with actual buying readiness
Symptom: High-intent-scored threads (80+) are just people venting, not actually looking for solutions
Cause: The intent model may weight urgency language ("I need", "help me") that correlates with venting as much as buying
Solution: Use intent scores as a first filter, not a final qualifier. Cross-reference high-intent threads with: (1) thread recency, (2) whether the poster asked for specific recommendations, (3) whether they mentioned budget or timeline. True buying intent usually includes specificity about requirements.
