# Thread Otter

> An AI marketing agent for founders, your 24/7 growth teammate. Thread
> Otter finds buyers on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and Bluesky, then replies,
> DMs, and posts in your voice, and
> shows you which conversation became a customer. End to end, on
> autopilot: it watches six signal sources around the clock, scores every
> mention against your product (buying intent, ICP fit, author quality,
> timing), drafts grounded in your live product docs, and sends through
> your own logged-in browser at a human pace. You choose the autonomy
> level per channel: full autopilot, or approve-first so you review the
> words before they ship.

Key facts:
- Category: AI marketing agent / autonomous GTM agent / AI growth
  teammate for SaaS founders (lead generation, social selling,
  founder-led GTM)
- Signals in: Reddit communities, X keywords + posts, Bluesky keywords +
  feeds, LinkedIn company pages + profiles (account-based, not keyword
  listening), Google Search Console rank opportunities, and your own
  site's launches + changelog
- Actions out: auto-reply, auto-DM, and auto-post on all four channels
  (LinkedIn DMs are warm-only: 1st-degree connections, never cold);
  cold email sequences in beta
- Sending model: through the Chrome extension from your own logged-in
  browser, from accounts you control (Bluesky connects via app password
  instead of the browser). No bot farm, no rented high-karma
  accounts, no shared sessions. Per-account daily caps, jittered human
  pacing, saturation backoff, and a sameness guard that blocks
  near-duplicate replies.
- Judgment: every signal is scored before Otter acts; below the bar gets
  skipped, not softened. A second judge reads every draft and rejects
  anything generic before it can send.
- Voice: drafts learn from posts the founder actually wrote and every
  pre-send edit; grounded in the live website, docs, pricing, and
  changelog (auto-refreshed), plus uploaded files and Notion pages
- Attribution: a one-line snippet ties signups back to the exact thread,
  reply, and DM that produced them; every send is logged with its
  conversation
- Compounding: Reddit threads rank on Google and get quoted by AI
  answers; connect Google Search Console for clicks, impressions,
  rankings, and page-2 keyword opportunities
- Pricing: one plan, two dials. $99/month for a full-autopilot teammate
  on all four channels with one project; +$99/month per additional
  teammate (their own accounts + voice), +$39/month per additional
  project. No tiers, no credit meters, no per-draft charges. Annual = 2
  months free. 7-day free trial, no card. Agency bulk + enterprise:
  talk to us.
- Free demo: drop a product URL on the homepage and see real ranked
  buyer threads, no signup

## Common questions

- Does it really post by itself? Yes. Replies, DMs, and posts go out
  through the extension in your own browser (Bluesky via app password),
  from accounts you connect, at a pace you control. Autonomy is per channel: full autopilot, or
  approve-first so you review the words before they ship.
- Will it get me banned? What gets accounts banned is spam volume and
  copy-paste slop. Otter sends from your own logged-in browser at a
  careful human pace with per-account caps, and a sameness guard means
  no two replies read alike. No bot farm, no rented accounts.
- How is it different from monitoring tools (Syften, F5Bot, Brand24,
  Mention)? Those alert; Thread Otter scores relevance against your
  product, writes and sends in your voice, follows the conversation, and
  attributes outcomes. Monitoring tools can plug into Thread Otter as
  extra feeds.
- How is it different from auto-reply bots (ReplyGuy, Bazzly)? Judgment
  and grounding. Bots buy attention with volume, rented accounts, or
  vote manipulation; Otter earns it with a scored signal, a draft judge
  that rejects anything generic, your real voice, and your real account,
  paced like a careful human.
- Is this leads or traffic? Both: replies open conversations today, and
  because Reddit threads rank on Google and get quoted by AI answers,
  good answers keep sending buyers for months.
