Creating a marketing search engine

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share a new project I'm working on which will accelerate the adoption of Huzzler. I'd love to hear your feedback.

It's a tool that scrapes a set of subreddits and saves all the posts and comments to a database. Then as a user, you'll be able to use AI search which understands meaning and intent to lookup any reddit leads of the past week / month and finds hundreds of results in seconds.

An example: You are making an app that helps people stop smoking.

Using my tool: you can search the entire database with a query like: "Give me all posts/comments where someone is complaining about not being able to quit smoking".

It'll use AI to efficiently search a database of thousands of posts / comments and comments with the same meaning as your query.

Where existing tools lack

All existing tools I've found use keywords to find matches. For example, if I use the keyword "smoking" , those tools will only analyze every post that has the exact keyword "smoking". But it will miss potential posts where someone doesn't explicitly mentions a tracked keyword.

Let take for example a comment: "I can't quit the darts, I've tried for years" which was placed under a meme in r/memes. Classic tools like replyguy will not notify you for that lead. My tool will find those, as the comment is in the database and it can understand the meaning behind words. It understands that "darts" are slang for cigarettes. And when using the search engine it'll find any post or comment that matches with that meaning.

You can also create multiple queries like: "give me everyone who mentions to have smoked for years", "give me all posts about smoking",.. you can literally search up anything, it's not limited to keyword tracking.

You can also save queries to be notified daily if new leads have been found.

What do you think of this idea? Any feedback is welcome

The explanation shows how deeply you've gone into it. I think this idea was born somewhere around that X post we chatted about....😁

BTW the idea is 🔥

Haha yes, researched it really well and tested the competitors 😁 But I'm not sure what post you mean haha. I was just tired of going to reddit every day and manually searching for customers

This was the X post,

But sorry to say before you published this post on huzzler.... I already resumed my work on the same.... And have done a decent progress for the same MVP. It's a mini a version of your idea yet.

Ohh yes, you're absolutely right haha. I remember, you said you worked on a similar idea already. But my new one is a bit different than the one I asked for in the X post because I really want to make a search engine for leads. Like so you can lookup anyone who is looking for a specific tool of the past month and change your query to find more leads. But good luck! I'm curious as to what you create 😁

And u can expect this much only, from a guy who writes prompts not code😁😁😁.

Very interesting indeed!

I'm curious to know the full extend of the use case. So, for example, I am building an app that helps people stop smoking. I use the tool, and it gives me a list of Redditor's that have mentioned they want to do exactly that.

After that, I build an excel with that list and to keep track of whom I have contacted, etc...

Now, this is where I am a bit stuck, what would I say in my reaching out that doesn't come across as spammy? I'm just tryingto imagine what the messaging would be for this outbound campaign.

Or is there an option to run an inbound campaign that only targets those Redditors?

You could say something like: "Hey there, I work for a company called x and we created an app to help people stop smoking, might be helpful to you". something along those lines

This is a great angle. I'm going to test it on reddit and see how people react.

My theory is that people on Reddit are very spam averse. And even Reddit itself can easily flag you if you start reaching out to too many users...

Have you had any experience on that front?

not really, as long as you come across as a real, genuine person who is honest they appreciate it.
