From signup to first booked call
A step-by-step walkthrough of how DealHunter turns Reddit into your lead engine.
Connect your Reddit accounts
Import existing accounts or create new ones. DealHunter handles proxies, cookies, and session persistence — no more '2FA lockout' or 'password expired' emails.
- Import via username + password (Clerk-secured storage)
- Automatic proxy assignment per account (dedicated IP)
- Session cookies persisted 6 days — no daily logins
- Fingerprint per account: unique UA, timezone, viewport
Set persona & content strategy
Define who your agents are and what they promote. Approve your voice once — they follow it forever.
- Choose a niche: Marketing, SaaS, E-commerce, Freelance
- Configure your product name, positioning, and CTA style
- 60+ pre-tuned lead keywords per niche (fully editable)
- Set daily reply limits (safety) and gap between replies
Automatic warmup phase
New accounts get shadowbanned instantly. So we don't post from new accounts. Every account starts with a 7-14 day karma-building phase.
- Phase 1 — Passive: browse, upvote, no comments (7 days)
- Phase 2 — Casual: small helpful comments (3-7 days)
- Phase 3 — Full: keyword-matched leads + AI-written replies
- Advances automatically based on karma + health score
Agents run 24/7
Every 30 minutes, the master agent picks health-scored accounts and schedules sessions. Every 2 minutes, workers claim jobs and run Playwright.
- Master agent: cron every 30 min, enqueues browser sessions
- Workers scale from 2 to 50 pods based on queue depth (K8s HPA)
- Rate limits enforced by Redis (5 replies/day, 12min gap)
- Circuit breaker pauses all activity if error rate spikes
AI writes helpful replies
Google Gemini reads each matched post, understands the pain point, and writes a genuinely helpful response — with your product name mentioned only when it fits.
- Full post context (title + body) → Gemini 2.0 Flash
- Reply length: 100-200 words, conversational tone
- Safety filters: no URLs, no 'DM me', no self-promotion patterns
- Every reply auto-saved to lead_log for review
Track leads and revenue
The dashboard shows every scraped post, every reply, and every conversion. Filter by subreddit, account, or lead status.
- Live lead table with post URL, author, upvotes, comment count
- Reply preview shows what your bot said + Reddit link
