How it works

What DemandLark does, step by step

It does the reading and sorting so you can spend your time on replies. Here's exactly what happens, including what it can't do.

The four steps

Four steps from your website to a posted reply

You set it up once. After that, new opportunities arrive twice a day.

  1. Step 1

    Enter your website

    AI reads your site and works out what you sell, who buys it, and what those people type on Reddit: buying-intent phrases, complaints about competitors, and the problems you solve. It also picks the subreddits worth watching.

    You can edit every keyword and subreddit it suggests.

  2. Step 2

    We read those communities twice a day

    Every morning and evening, plus whenever you press Refresh, we read new posts in your subreddits. Each one is filtered and then judged by AI against your product, so you see real requests, not keyword noise.

    Locked, archived and NSFW threads are skipped.

  3. Step 3

    Review ranked opportunities

    Threads land in Opportunities ranked 🔥 Hot, Good match or Maybe, with a short reason why each one matched, any competitors mentioned, and whether the subreddit allows links.

    Read the whole thread without leaving DemandLark.

  4. Step 4

    Reply yourself, then track it

    Get a drafted reply that answers the question first, in your voice, with an honest disclosure. Edit it, post it yourself on Reddit, mark it posted, and we track its upvotes and whether it was removed.

    DemandLark never posts on your behalf.

Under the hood

How a post becomes an opportunity

Most posts never reach you. That's the point.

  1. 01

    Read

    Twice a day, and when you press Refresh, we read new posts in your subreddits through our own Reddit reader.

  2. 02

    Filter

    Locked, archived, NSFW and duplicate threads are dropped, and posts that don't match your keywords are skipped.

  3. 03

    Judge

    AI reads each remaining post against your product and decides whether someone is asking for it, comparing options, complaining about a competitor, or describing your problem.

  4. 04

    Rank

    What passes is labelled 🔥 Hot, Good match or Maybe, with one sentence on why it matched, the competitors mentioned, and the subreddit's rules on promotion and links.

What we won’t do

Reddit works when you’re useful. We built around that.

Communities can spot a campaign in seconds. So the product leaves the posting, and the judgement, to you.

  • We never post for you

    There's no autoposting, no scheduling and no account pool. You read the draft, change what you want, and post it from your own Reddit account.

  • We respect subreddit rules

    Each opportunity shows whether the community allows links. When a subreddit doesn't, the draft leaves the link out.

  • Helpful first, always disclosed

    Drafts answer the person's question before mentioning your product, and include a plain disclosure that you work on it. No posing as a happy customer.

  • No vote games

    We don't buy, trade or automate votes, and we don't run sockpuppet accounts. Nothing in the product can do it.

Limits

What it can’t do

  • It's Reddit only

    We don't watch other forums, social networks or review sites.

  • It's not real time

    Scheduled checks run at 06:00 and 18:00 UTC. Refresh fills the gaps, with a 10-minute cooldown and 12 a day.

  • The AI can be wrong

    Some good threads get a Maybe and some weak ones get a Good match. Dismiss with a reason or tell the tuning chat, and the feed adjusts.

  • We can't promise results

    Replies get removed, threads go quiet, and what works in one community fails in another. We show you what happened so you can decide where to spend time.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Something else? hello@demandlark.com

No. DemandLark finds threads and drafts replies. You copy the reply, post it yourself from your own Reddit account, then mark it posted so we can track upvotes and removal.
