Description
Reddit is where indie makers meet early users, but new or quiet accounts often get filtered before anyone sees them. Reddit Pilot leaves short, helpful comments in subreddits you choose, at a calm randomized pace. It never posts for you.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic Reddit API bot is simple to vibe-code, but automating comments at scale without triggering Reddit's aggressive anti-spam and fingerprinting defenses requires specialized evasion techniques.
What it would actually take: An effective tool needs a distributed residential proxy pool, headless browser automation (e.g., stealth Puppeteer or Playwright), and browser fingerprint randomization to bypass Reddit's bot detection (DataDome / reCAPTCHA). Content generation requires fine-tuned heuristics to prevent automated moderation filters (AutoMod) from shadowbanning the account immediately. Subreddit-level sentiment analysis and karma preservation strategies require specialized anti-detection engineering.
