AI Social Listening + Posting: 3 Communities Watched, 8 Channels Drafted
Maniana's Marketing office watches Reddit, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers for buyer-intent mentions — and drafts posts for X, LinkedIn, LinkedIn Company Page, Facebook, and Instagram in your voice. Signal in, ready-to-post drafts out.
Somewhere on Reddit right now, someone is asking for exactly what you sell. You're just not the one who sees it.
We just shipped the organic side of the Marketing office inside Maniana. It watches Reddit, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers for real buyer-intent mentions — filtered against the exact problems your product solves — and hands you a draft reply in your voice for every one worth engaging. Then it turns around and drafts posts for X, LinkedIn, LinkedIn Company Page, Facebook, and Instagram in the same voice.
Eight channels covered. Zero copy-paste between five tools. One AI that already knows your product.
Signal, not noise
Every social listening tool on the market has the same problem: it surfaces every mention of your category, most of which are useless. You end up with a Slack channel that everyone mutes on day three.
The office already knows what your product does — because Maniana built it. So the filter is buyer intent, not keyword matching. You see the thread where someone is asking for what you sell, not every mention of "AI tool" or "SaaS" on Reddit.
Draft, not just alert
Alerts are fine, but they push the actual work onto you: read the thread, understand the context, decide what to say, don't sound like a spammer. That's the part that eats an hour a day and doesn't happen most days.
Marketing hands you a reply already drafted — in your voice, aware of your product, calibrated to the tone of the thread. Approve, tweak, or skip. Reddit engagement without the "must write on Reddit" ceremony.
Every channel we cover, exactly
Two families of channels, because the internet is honest with us about which platforms have a public listening API and which don't. We built accordingly:
Listen + draft replies
Public APIs let us search real conversations and hand you a drafted reply for the ones worth engaging.
- · Reddit (subreddit-scoped or all of Reddit)
- · Hacker News (front page + Show HN)
- · Indie Hackers (founder community)
Draft + deep-link post
No free listening API on these — so we skip the OAuth / paid-API cost, draft the post, and deep-link you to the composer with the text prefilled.
- · X (Twitter intent-URL with prefilled text)
- · LinkedIn (personal, founder voice)
- · LinkedIn Company Page (brand voice)
- · Facebook Page
- · Instagram (caption + hashtag drafts)
Why no listening on X, LinkedIn, or Meta? X killed its free tweet-search API in 2023, and Meta / LinkedIn never had one. We refuse to pass the paid-API bill through to you just to open the app — so we ship those channels as compose-only.
What Brand24, Mention & Sprout can't do
The classic brand-monitoring tools — Brand24, Mention, Sprout Social, Talkwalker — do the same thing: they fire an alert every time your keyword appears anywhere on the internet. So you get a Slack notification when someone says "maniana" in a Reddit thread about lunch plans in Barcelona. Useful for enterprise brand teams tracking reputation. Useless for a solo founder trying to find customers.
Maniana's listener filters by buyer intent for the specific product you shipped here. Because the same platform that reads Reddit also built the SaaS you're selling, it can tell the difference between "someone mentioning our category" and "someone actively asking for what our export feature does." That's only possible because it knows what the export feature is — because it built it.
The rest of the Marketing office
The demo above shows the listening piece because it's the most visual. The same office also runs:
- Bulk AI SEO — one click generates title, description, and OG image for every published Maniana app. Auto-pings IndexNow so search engines find them same-day.
- Google & Meta ads — full Responsive Search Ads or Meta creatives in one click, with a competitor-ad research tool over the Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency Center.
Same brain as Frontdesk and Support. Same customer record. Same product context. One marketing team you never had to hire.
