I built an AI social monitoring that looks for relevant posts, not just keywords

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a side project that I'm excited to share with you all—it's called BillyBuzz

What is BillyBuzz?

BillyBuzz is an AI-powered social monitoring tool that helps businesses spot and analyze relevant conversations on social media platforms, starting with Reddit. It surfaces the most promising leads directly to your Slack channels, email, or Discord, so you don't have to spend hours scrolling through threads.

Why I Built It

I was spending a ton of time searching for relevant posts in niche subreddits for another product I was working to get off the ground. It was not only time-consuming but also distracting (you know how easy it is to fall into a Reddit rabbit hole). I couldn't find any existing tool that did more than basic keyword searches—which wasn't enough, especially if your brand name has multiple meanings (like "Apple").

So, I decided to build BillyBuzz. It uses AI to understand your business, products, target audience, and value proposition, alongside specific keywords you might want to include. This way, it finds posts where you can genuinely contribute by introducing your product.

I used BillyBuzz for a previous product launch and managed to grow it to over $80k/month in volume within about 3 months, purely through Reddit engagement.

How It Works

1. Add Information About Your Business: Input details about your business and products.
2. Select Subreddits to Monitor: Choose the subreddits relevant to your niche.
3. Receive Timely Alerts: Get notified via Slack, email, or Discord when relevant posts are identified.

Features

• AI-Powered Relevancy Scoring: Goes beyond keywords by understanding the context to identify truly relevant opportunities.
• Subreddit Tracking: Monitor specific subreddits with AI-recommended keywords tailored to your company's needs.
• Real-Time Alerts: Checks for new relevant conversations every 15 minutes, so you can engage at the perfect time.
• Automated Categorization (Coming Soon): The AI will categorize conversations into topics like competitors, customer complaints, and more.

Who It's For

BillyBuzz is designed for startup founders, growth marketers, and small business owners who are tech-savvy and focused on scaling their operations. If you're looking to save time and engage more effectively with your target audience on social media, this might be up your alley.
