§ 01 / What Reddit broke
GummySearch
Subforge.
In November 2025, Reddit killed self-service API key creation. Every commercial tool built on the official Reddit API now needs manual review under the new Responsible Builder Policy. GummySearch couldn't get approved — they emailed roughly 2,000 paying customers and shut down two weeks later.

Subforge runs on Reddit's public JSON endpoints. No commercial API key, no policy review, no shutdown risk from that angle. You get the same hourly monitoring you had, with one upgrade — instead of a notification telling you to write something, you get the draft already written.

Two minutes saved per thread is the difference between shipping 20 Reddit replies a week and shipping zero. That is the entire thesis. Everything else on this page is mechanics.

§ 02 / How it works
Three moves.
One of them yours.
01
We watch.
200+ subreddits, scanned every hour for posts matching purchase-intent patterns — “looking for a tool that…”, “wish there was…”, “any recommendations for…”. You pick the subs and keywords that matter.
02
We draft.
Claude reads the thread and your product brief, then writes a Reddit-native reply. Conversational, lowercase-y, no marketing speak. If the post is a bad fit the AI emits SKIP and you never see it.
03
You post.
Drafts land in your inbox as a morning digest. You skim, edit, paste into Reddit. From your account.
A note in the margin
This part stays yours — your karma, your voice, your subscribers. We never touch your account.

§ 06 / FAQ
Things people ask.
Will Reddit ban me for posting AI replies?
Not at Scout tier — you copy the draft from your inbox, edit it in your own voice, and post from your own account. The drafts are starting points, not bot output. Pilot tier is a different conversation, handled by us with managed accounts under our risk.

What happened to GummySearch?
Reddit killed self-service API access in November 2025. GummySearch ran on the official API and couldn't get commercial approval under the new policy. They notified customers and shut down. Subforge avoids that whole risk by using Reddit's public JSON endpoints — read-only, no auth required, no policy review.

How is this different from ReplyGuy?
ReplyGuy is X-first with a thin Reddit layer — no subreddit-aware tone matching, no thread context, no rate-limit-aware cadence. Subforge is Reddit-native: every prompt knows which subreddit it's in (r/SaaS and r/onlyfansadvice need different voices), every draft includes the post excerpt for context, and the cadence respects Reddit's anti-spam patterns.

What if the AI writes something off-brand?
Two safeguards. First, you read every draft before posting — nothing goes out without you. Second, the system prompt bans marketing-speak (no "robust", no "leverage", no exclamation points) and instructs the AI to emit SKIP when a post isn't a good fit. Roughly 1 in 5 candidates get skipped automatically.

How much does the API cost run?
Roughly $0.0015 per draft on Claude Haiku 4.5. At 50 drafts a month per customer, that's under ten cents in API cost — well inside Scout margins. The AI bill is on our infrastructure budget, not yours.
