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

  1. Searches X and Reddit for recent recommendation requests, unresolved problems and alternative-to discussions.
  2. Reads each conversation to qualify the need before doing anything.
  3. Saves each person with the public source URL, the stated need, how recent it is and the fit.
  4. 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.
