Find Reddit threads asking for what you sell
Signals is the part of Vitals that finds customers on Reddit. It looks for people describing the problem your product solves, drafts a reply that answers them first, checks it against the subreddit's own rules, and leaves the posting to you.

How it works
Step 1
It finds the thread
Every few hours Vitals searches the subreddits your customers use. Each thread is scored on three things: whether someone is asking for what you sell, whether it lives in your product's world, and how alive it is. Comments count four times an upvote, and a thread loses half its weight every week.
Step 2
It drafts a reply
The draft answers the question first, from your website and the description you gave your product. If you'd rather, your own coding agent writes it over the MCP server, with your codebase open, and those drafts don't count toward your plan.
Step 3
It checks the rules
Before you can copy a draft, it's checked against that subreddit's self-promotion rule and a list of things that get replies removed. If it breaks one, the copy button stays locked and you're told why.
Step 4
You post it
Vitals never asks for your Reddit login and never posts. You read the draft, change what you like, and post it from your own account.
Every subreddit has a rule, and Signals follows it
A subreddit either welcomes links, allows a mention, or wants advice only. Signals knows which is which for the communities founders use most, and treats any it doesn't know as advice only, because a wrong guess is what gets accounts banned.
Links allowed
Mention your product and link it, when it genuinely helps.
r/SideProject, r/microsaas, r/buildinpublic
Mention, no link
Say the name and that you built it. Leave the URL out.
r/SaaS, r/indiehackers, r/EntrepreneurRideAlong
Advice only
Answer the question without naming your product.
r/startups, r/Entrepreneur, everything else
What locks a draft
- Naming your product without saying you built it
- Naming it at all where the subreddit bans self-promotion
- A link where the subreddit doesn't allow links
- Hinting at users or reviews you don't have
- Offering a DM, a call or a demo
- Hashtags, and more than one em dash
Why these rules? How to mention your product on Reddit without getting banned explains each one.
Questions about Signals
Will I get banned for using this?
Bans come from posting too much, posting the same thing everywhere, and breaking a community's self-promotion rule. Signals doesn't post, gives you one thread at a time, and won't let you copy a draft that breaks the rule for that subreddit. What you post, and how often, is still up to you.
Does it post for me?
No, and it can't: it never asks for your Reddit login. You copy the reply and post it yourself.
What about competitor mentions?
Give Vitals your competitors' names and it also finds threads where people bring them up, scored on the name rather than on someone asking for help.
How many replies do I get?
3 during the free trial, then 20 a month on Starter, 300 a month on Growth, 1,000 a month on Pro. Drafts your own coding agent writes over the MCP server are free on every plan.
