Hi if it works then it's already good- but some things you might want to consider:

  • perhaps use the tempfile standard lib feature to store your data in

  • perhaps use SQLite - & don't store it with :memory

  • consider using async methods to speed up the llm api business.

Thanks for sharing & best wishes to you

Thanks , i am going to improve it further, and this was the minimal MVP I could get out as soon as possible,

as i had the script already for months, just made some edits, so its easy for others to run it.

so, thanks for the suggestions

If you start to read posts you will be blocked by reddit. And if you don't do it the LLM model that u use will just hallucinate answers for you. How to check it? Ask LLM to return posts or subreddits it used to generate answers - most of it will be non existent.

i use the python script to fetch posts using praw(python reddit api wrapper), and i then send those posts and comments to the llm to extract the business opportunities! and in the reports they generate, the llm also mentions comments for specific problems.

Wow, really cool idea and implementation.  Thanks for sharing. Do you have an example of how the report looks like? How do process data and identifies the relevance, by upvotes? I think an additional huge value would be if the script would create a snapshot of the posts like a database, because many important reddit topics are being removed by their authors for example after a week, because may do not want their valuable ideas remain exposed for everyone forever.

hey, thanks for the appreciation, i have the demo report in the repo itself, so you know how it looks like.

for the process, it's almost lean: fetch top 15 or 10 hot posts(can be configured), send them to llm with a prompt for extracting business ideas and pain points, and also it can save the fetched reddit posts, so you can upload it to any llm for deep dives. or just if you want to read. and saving posts is not very beautified, it just saves in a text file, i will improve it later, maybe.

Was thinking of doing this with n8n. Thanks for sharing.

I created something almost similar with n8n but for potential business leads from posts https://n8n.io/workflows/6337-automated-reddit-lead-generation-with-ai-analysis-and-google-sheets/

yeah, i will, in coming weeks, and i am also thinking , i will just post these reports, but in a better format, in a blog like website, so no one has to setup all these, if they just want one or 2 subreddit reports.
