Find buyers already asking for you — and the threads AI cites
HotMention watches Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Quora and YouTube for people asking for what you sell, and runs your buying prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude to find the threads they cite. You get a draft and posting guidance, post from your own account — or let your AI agent do it — and we check the reply is still live on day 7.
3-day free trial. No credit card. We never post for you.
Looking for an email warmup tool that doesn't get my domain flagged
"We're ramping up cold outreach next month and I'm worried about deliverability. Tried two warmup tools already and both landed us in spam. Anyone using something that actually mimics real conversations?..."
Draft reply: "Been through this exact pain — most warmup tools blast obvious template threads and mailbox providers catch on fast. We built Warmhound to schedule warmup replies that follow real conversation patterns instead. Happy to share the deliverability checklist we use, even if you go with another tool..."
Built for signal, not mention volume
A keyword match is not a lead. HotMention only marks a conversation HOT when the author owns a current problem and is actively looking for a solution.
“Can anyone recommend an affiliate platform for a small SaaS? Rewardful is getting expensive.”
Buyer-owned need, active alternative search, direct product fit, and a fresh conversation.
“Here is the affiliate strategy we use to generate more referrals for our clients.”
Relevant words, but the author is promoting expertise rather than asking for a solution.
Built by @AlexBelogubov, maker of Replymer.
“I use HotMention every day to find conversations for my own products, so false positives waste my time too.”
How it works
Five steps. Set up in five minutes, first leads the same day, first verified reply within a week.
Find
We scan Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Quora and YouTube for your keywords and score every mention 0-100 for buyer intent. Reddit threads that ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews or Claude cite for your buying prompts join the feed too.
Draft
Every HOT lead comes with a reply in your voice and posting guidance for that subreddit: its survival score, what gets removed there, whether a link is safe.
Post
You post from your own account — by hand, or through your AI agent over MCP, the API or the CLI — inside a daily Reddit budget you set. HotMention never posts for you.
Verify
Paste the comment link and we check it on day 1, 3 and 7: Live or Removed. Every check feeds the survival score of that subreddit.
Prove
A weekly report shows replies live vs removed and your Citation Share — cited in N of M checks across the four engines — with the prompts where competitors are cited instead.
Replies that survive
Reddit keeps replies from people it knows.
We learned this the expensive way. Our previous product had real people writing good replies from a pool of accounts, and Reddit still removed most of them. The same replies posted from the customer's own account lived far longer. The problem was never the writing; it was whose account posted it. So the only account that ever posts through HotMention is yours.
Real people wrote the replies. Reddit still took most of them down, because the account was not the founder's and had no history there.
What we saw running our previous product
Shadowban waves shrink an account pool faster than it can be rebuilt. It is a losing race.
Same product, same year
The same kind of reply, posted from the customer's own account with history, stayed up far longer.
Same subreddits, same period
Subreddit survival score
Every subreddit carries a 0-100 share of verified replies that are still live, seeded from a year of removal data and updated by every check we run. Before you post you see ok, careful or avoid.
Posting guidance in the draft
The rules that keep a reply alive in that subreddit: answer the question first, mention the product once, no link in the first comment where links get removed. The draft is written to those rules, not around them.
Verified on day 1, 3 and 7
Paste the comment link and HotMention checks it three times through the Reddit API. Live or Removed, no guessing. A reply counts as a win only when it is still there on day 7.
Autopilot with your AI agent
Your agent runs the loop. From your account.
Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, n8n — any agent with a shell or MCP can pull the HOT leads, regenerate the draft with your instructions, post from your own Reddit account, and report the link back. HotMention keeps the budget, the guidance and the day-7 verification. It never posts on its own.

Rules of the road, enforced by the API
- · Reddit budget you set: 3 a day, 10 a week by default, 60 minutes apart.
- · Guidance per subreddit: ok, careful, avoid. Agents skip avoid.
- · “Replied” is idempotent and wants the comment link, so day 1/3/7 checks can run.
MCP server
11 tools for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or OpenClaw: list hot leads, get the full card with posting guidance, regenerate the draft with instructions, mark replied with the link, check the reply budget and the Citation Share scoreboard.
MCP docs →REST API v1
The same actions over plain HTTPS for n8n, Make, cron jobs or your own code. One API key per project, so an agent can never act on the wrong workspace.
API reference →CLI
npm install -g hotmention. Every command has --json and exit code 2 when the Reddit budget is exhausted, so a scheduled agent stops on its own.
Autopilot guide →Know where AI looks
Track the answers your buyers get from AI — and the threads behind them
Buyers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity before they ask Reddit. HotMention runs your buying prompts through ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude every week and shows an honest scoreboard: cited in N of M checks, who is cited instead, and which Reddit threads feed those answers. Those threads land in your lead feed with a draft, so you can join them.

AI-cited threads are strategic, not urgent: they arrive as WARM, never as HOT, and cost nothing until you act on one.
What we promise, and what we don't. We do not promise that ChatGPT will recommend you. Answers are probabilistic and change with every model update. We show where the engines look, whether you are there, and the exact threads to reply in. Reddit is the most-cited source across all four engines, which is why the two halves of HotMention belong together. How Citation Share is measured
Everything you need to capture buyer intent
From discovery to conversion, HotMention handles the entire pipeline.
AI Intent Scoring
Every mention is scored 0-100 across 5 dimensions: intent, relevance, freshness, competition, and visibility. Focus on what matters.
6-Platform Monitoring
Scan Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Quora, and YouTube for conversations matching your keywords. Real-time alerts for high-intent mentions.
Draft Replies
Get platform-aware, brand-voice-matched reply drafts powered by Claude or GPT. Copy, tweak, and post in seconds.
Should You Reply?
AI analyzes each conversation and gives you a clear verdict: Reply, Careful, or Skip — with reasoning so you never waste time.
Instant Delivery
Hot leads delivered instantly via email, Slack, or Telegram. Daily digests keep you updated. Never miss an opportunity.
Competitor Detection
Automatically detect when competitors are mentioned in conversations. Position your product where it matters most.

Frequently asked questions
Do you post for me?+
No, and that is the point. Our previous product had real people writing replies from a pool of accounts, and Reddit still deleted most of them: the account was not the founder's and had no history there. With HotMention the only account that posts is yours — by hand, or through your own AI agent over MCP, the API or the CLI. HotMention finds the thread, writes the draft, tells you what survives in that subreddit, keeps you inside a daily budget, and checks that the reply is still live on day 1, 3 and 7.
Will my Reddit account get banned?+
A real, helpful comment from an account you actually use is normal Reddit behaviour. What gets accounts banned is volume, links from fresh accounts, and posting where the community removes promotion. HotMention gives you a survival score and guidance (ok / careful / avoid) per subreddit, a daily and weekly reply cap you set yourself (default 3 a day, 10 a week), and a 60-minute gap between replies. Follow the guidance and you are a helpful redditor with a history, which is what Reddit keeps.
Which AI engines do you track?+
ChatGPT with web search, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Claude. Gemini and Google AI Mode are built but switched off until their results are stable enough to show. Each engine is asked your buying prompts several times, because answers vary from run to run — the scoreboard counts checks, not single answers.
Will replying on Reddit make ChatGPT recommend me?+
Sometimes, and nobody can promise it. Reddit is the most-cited source across all four engines we track, so being in the threads they cite is the most direct thing you can do. But answers are probabilistic and change with every model update. HotMention shows you where the engines look and whether you are cited — an honest scoreboard, not a guarantee.
How is this different from Google Alerts or F5Bot?+
They match keywords and send you every hit. HotMention scores each mention for buyer intent with AI, tells you whether it's worth replying, drafts the reply, and then checks the reply survived — so you act on 10 good conversations instead of skimming 500 links.
How is this different from GummySearch or Mention?+
GummySearch is Reddit-only research; Mention is brand monitoring. HotMention covers Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Quora, Threads and YouTube, adds the threads AI engines cite for your buying prompts, and is built around a reply workflow: intent scoring, drafts, posting guidance, a reply budget, and verification — not just a feed of mentions.
Where does the data come from?+
We continuously scan public posts on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Quora, Threads and YouTube for your keywords, and ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude your buying prompts to see what they cite. Only public content — no private groups or DMs.
How do AI draft replies work?+
For every hot lead, AI writes a short, natural reply that mentions your product once — in your brand voice, matched to the platform and to the posting rules of that subreddit. You or your agent can regenerate it with instructions ("mention the free tier, no link") before posting.
What do I get in the free trial?+
Three days of the full plan — all six platforms, 50 keywords, 500 scored leads, unlimited AI drafts, and a Citation Share baseline for 30 buying prompts. No card, so there is nothing to cancel. When it ends, scanning pauses and every lead we already found stays in your dashboard.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Plans are month-to-month (or annual with 2 months free), managed through Stripe. Cancel in one click from Settings — no emails, no calls.
Stop missing buyer-intent conversations
Your buyers are asking on Reddit right now — and asking ChatGPT. Find both, reply from your own account, and know which replies survived.
