The problem
Someone asking for a recommendation in your category is the warmest lead there is, and those threads go stale in a day or two if nobody answers.
How your agent runs it
- Searches X and Reddit for recent recommendation requests, unresolved problems and alternative-to discussions.
- Reads each conversation to qualify the need before doing anything.
- Saves each person with the public source URL, the stated need, how recent it is and the fit.
- Publishes a helpful reply where the venue permits it, then verifies and records it.
What you tell it
- What you offer
- For example: Bookkeeping for startups, first month free
- Where to look
- For example: r/smallbusiness, X searches for "bookkeeper recommendations"
What counts as done
- 10 fresh qualified users reached with verified contextual replies and source evidence.
- 10 qualified people actually reached, with verified contact evidence. A list or draft alone does not satisfy this goal.
