  @DanniChenGTM Reddit. I spent months treating it like Twitter. The fix: be a useful member first, stop link-dropping launches, adapt the post to the sub (problem first), and vary accounts/activity.

  CRAZYYYY IN 24 HOURS I VIBE CODED THE BEST 10000% FREE COMPETITOR INTELLIGENCE TOOL IN THE WORLD!!!! 3 agents run it: Gemini, Ollama (local), Claude CLI See the VIDEO for evidence!!! Crazy. Crazy times!!!!! Haha, I will explain it all. But I must say it could be done this quickly because I have many other local spy tools and crawlers. I saw someone's video about an Artia 1100 plan or something, and thought, huh, I could create it easily nd 100% free. I already have many competitor intelligence tools, but they are large databases for ads, others for stores, and others for funnels, so not the super depth of 1: just how all these rate among each other based on certain things I think are important. But so this video wich I accidentally watched, was the last one in my chain. But since some data was recognizable, I just knew I could build that with free API’s and some agents crawling. So first I came up with the idea for a Claude cowork; I built everything with an in-depth analysis of a single brand. By crawling their ad library and using API’s for traffic intelligence, etc, with the idea of capturing their best funnels, landing pages, winning ad and LP angles, and how they position themselves Since we already had a lot of data in other databases, I asked it to make a small draft program, and pointed out to the other programs of wich each I wanted a specific function for to make it work. Yeah, you genuinely still need to have like ideas and directions; otherwise, this would not be possible. And I was AMAZED by the freaking first draft; normally I'm never lol. But it was understood I have built so many tools, data-intelligence tools(8/10) with the same model over months, so of course most we already did and could precisely point out. Besides, I had already, a long time ago, I had already made a skill of every marketing book & course I have ever read or followed; yeah, in the past, I, as a maniac, used to summarize them in Word lol. Always too intense Just to be slapped by reality lol, that it will always be harder, but with LLMs, that past work became useful again. Literally, all are their individual skill if they blew me away, and a bit less with some value combined into 1 or 2 skills. But I had not truly used them really those skills. But for this individual market intelligence, it fit brilliantly. So I literally told Claude to go over each of them 10 times individually, lol, not that it will memorize extra as if it's a human studying. Just to feel better And then I made a main Word file to make it more modern, and the variables I found super important, because Claude is super hard-headed, even during the work, I had to press it to read back lol lots of times, for the right implementation for data quality. Okay, in the second, Claude did it all based on the knowledge and the Word file. I thought, wow, strikingly good; in the past, I don’t know; I did not feel like LLMs could translate information into an angle. Of course, all information is assembled and presented based on my (SUPER EXTENSIVE, lol) directions, but I still thought it was strikingly good. So this toy model, I thought, no, I will build this out into a complete competitor intelligence tool. So first I had this idea: putting the data of the competitor in an analysis in isolation is dumb; the value will be artificial; it must be put against real data from real people. So I wanted to crawl the web also, for forums, Reddit, YouTube comments; I stated that exactly what comes out of people's own mouths gets first priority, 2nd order will be expert views published in papers (i feel those are less for marketing, and abstract, and from a perspective), 3rd order is blogs, etc. (they have to make money, so sometimes write for attraction, but unlike authorities are less obligated to remain truthful) I know if I don’t set this ordered structure as an absolute FORCED rule, the agents will go wild and not deliver But Claude could not do all the crawling, but Gemini could have access. I had a paid API, so yesterday I tested it was super cheap data that came back, but I thought, no, I want it to be free. So I made an API key in another Google account. We tested it; it was slower, etc, and it was not as Good at image reading. But for another project, I had Ollama installed for a CAPTCHA fixer, and it was super great. I have a video on it lol, pulling the letters out of the CAPTCHA, trying to confuse bots, stuff. Way better than any mathematical model Claude could build, so I knew Ollama was good at visual analysis. So I suggested, can’t we split the tasks: let Ollama do one part, and Gemini do the other part. Okay, we fixed that, and it was good, but I was not yet like satisfied with the overall data. So I suggested Claude read the marketing skills and Word docs again 10x and write extensive directions plus variables, plus explicitly stating there is room to deviate from it when reality proves otherwise, so they are not stuck to textbook stuff, so tight directions, but lose expressions, so I can connect more with the truth in how the market expresses And it was super great already. But I was now fully focused on data quality, kept hammering on how I wanted certain things about desires, angles, mechanisms, positioning, hooks, stage of awareness, and many more, as you see, because I know it will be useful for when I myself want to come up with ideas for ads or a landing page or complete funnel angles. Like absolutely refining the direction, so not forcing a strict box, but the direction. And I wanted Claude abilities somewhat still in the tool, but did not wanted the paid API, while I already have max subscription, it could already run without claude, but still the free limit of gemini is limited, so something must take over, plus I wanted claude as the controller of the simple program, because it has acces to all skills, all my files of learnings etc. Another Idea came together to not use a paid API and my subscription. So recently I already built MCPBs, so Claude has full control over my laptop back-end command interfaces like PowerShell, etc and front-end mouse, screen, etc. Which IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT since cowork works within a virtual machine. And I thought with that same technique I could still use Claude if we built an MPCB for this program, lol. So I literally gaslit Opus 5 Cowork, stating: "I got you also out of your virtual box and allowed full control over my desktop" Hahah has no meaning in computational sense, just tought it was fun to say And yet, so we fixed it lol And it worked instantly, coupled to Claude Code CLI, just my subscription. So now, 3 agents within the tool And further, I kept pushing on data quality, refining, refining. Lol yeah, I'm not the one who thinks you can holistic vibe code. I think you can when it comes to pure code. They beat our asss lol. But never, ever, still not on conceptual and creative problem-solving. As you saw claude would never suggest using 3 agents from 3 different companies, splitting the tasks utilizing their individual strengths: Google web, Ollama visual files (images, Claude the controller. Or that I wanted the tools to allow snapshots of landing pages to put the full code: HTML, CSS, JS in a local folder This one was important because I'm still never satisfied with Claude's landing page building; I still style and code often on my own, so this was a good idea that came with this suddenly, because they work much better when they have great examples. Just like with existing architectures of tools and functions Then you can pinpoint a specific section of a page, and then suddenly the agent can do it much better. Or have the snapshot of the pages and ads within the reports visually. But all these conceptual problems, like no LLM will suddenly suggest or ‘hey, I have an idea to make your life way easier’ lol. Never Like, it will never jump out of the computer randomly to make your life free from thinking lol. We will forever have to connect the dots. And the same for market data: you want to make it very human, like actually sense this is a person's or a group of people's actual experience; if it is some abstract representation, it will not be useful So I fought the most on refining the presentation, and the search for data, and how I wanted it to be compared to similar brands, etc, with clear instructions stated absolutely in the tool, with some freedom not to force the agents in an absolutely rigid box of optionality, but to reason from a qualitative baseline, but express more grounded in reality, not some abstraction. And eventually got everything done, super satisfied, 100% free. But many things I have cracked in previous projects, like APIs You can not vibe your way into sudden data intelligence like traffic, etc. You can, but not easily, and not a simple task. But all the tools I had built had a useful idea or a specific architecture that already solved similar problems. So it was literally 24 hours out of an idea I saw by accident, but the ideas for the architecture and also specific functions were already there out of months of building other stuff. But truly it is sooooooo close. And yeah, I personally don't see much value in paying for expensive tools when you can literally get 50x more data, etc, for free, like it does not match anymore. But yeah, we undervalue human subjectivity and creativity; even simple things like data access are due to me pressing lol a while ago on my main tool, working with a local server 24/7 for market intelligence, like stubborn, checking direction change, explaining why it is possible, hahah, that is not what models do. A wall is a wall; maybe a small retry, or within a rigid box, a different maneuver, but that is a ceiling and done. Only people act and think like that, or think at all. I mean. Model compute: they beat us at computing code; they beat us at computing math. But they can never beat us conceptually: working on problems and frameworks while keeping the big picture and coherence in mind, and being adaptive and creative, having multiple concepts in mind like functionality as well as user-friendliness or ordered structure, etc, changing direction, having requirements from experience (like how I wanted the data, etc) Like it is NOT a mind; it will not suddenly snap awake. Rest that. There is no computational difference between just doing the task and doing the task with these requirements. If the task is just a command/goal. Like, it has no 'sense' for that. Or no 'sense' at all. That is where we come in. But Co-op!? Yeah, we are definitely in a new world. By the way, during this last generation, to test the robustness, the Gemini free api was out of credits. A less robust model was available; we had to implement it. But here again, this brought me to the idea of making it completely robust. So I suggested that I want functionality for model switching, so when the daily free api credit is used up. I won't create so many reports. I mean, I already have huge databases; this is for a deeper dive into specific competitors in specific cases. So probably more than enough, since I have generated multiple to test data quality and the presentation of the variables, etc, and the search quality. But still, to have it always robust, I suggested forcing a clear indicator when Gemini stalls, fails, or has reached its limit, and then forcing Claude code to take over and continue; and if that reaches a limit, impossible. As a last attempt, the Gemini API paid api, which was fully reponsible in the first version's qualitative data, did so for 0,50 yesterday. The requirements were fewer lol. But with a robust play and exchange between the first 2. I'm certain it will never reach the third option. Pretty sure. But even these things are like, it would be a stall pure vibe, without us thinking about the robustness of what we create. As you can see, it starts working on this rotation idea: “rotation patch”: Write provider rotation patch Run powershell Run powershell Fix provider patch script Presented file(s) Saving files to your computer Run powershell Write run patch and rotation test Lp claude PY Test claude PY Patch providers PY Patch run prov PY Test rotate PY Patch incremental PY Patch by PY Patch safe PY Saving files to your computer But, yeah, still working on some fine functionality details. Good luck, builders👌🏽🤟🏽

  @GergelyOrosz this sort of project takes 5 years when done by humans because you look at the work, open your editor, scroll up and down the test file, take a couple of deep breaths, and then go waste a couple of hours on reddit or whatever because you cannot bring yourself to do the job

  DDSBoston.com (@ddsboston24) reported 6 minutes ago

  Someone asked me on Reddit yesterday, "What's your favorite sustainable brand that actually has cute clothes?" It’s a fair question. The whole fashion industry is a mess. They churn out garbage, exploit people, and choke the planet with textile waste. Most "sustainable" brands? They just slap a recycled tag on a polyester shirt and call it a day. It’s insulting. We’re building something different at DDS Boston. We don't chase trends. We build essentials. The core problem is the system itself: overproduction, disposable culture. Our approach is radical transparency. We show you our costs. We show you our certifications. We use GOTS-certified organic cotton. That means no toxic pesticides, less water, and better conditions for farmers. It’s the only way to build something that lasts. Our "Print-on-Demand" model is key. It means we don't produce anything until you order it. No dead stock. No warehouses full of unsold inventory destined for landfill. This isn't about "scarcity" like other brands. It's about intentionality. You get a piece made specifically for you. That's the future. The clothes themselves? They’re designed to be worn, loved, and kept. We focus on fabric feel, durability, and fit. Think about the weight of a perfectly constructed hoodie, the feel of that GOTS cotton against your skin. That’s the "magical moment" we chase. It’s tactile. It’s real. It’s the opposite of the disposable junk out there. The industry wants you to buy more, more, more. We want you to buy less, but buy better. We're selling an identity: the post-hype builder, the person who rejects disposable culture. It’s not about owning the latest thing; it’s about owning something that aligns with your values. It’s a rejection of the entire broken system. So, to answer the Reddit question directly: DDS Boston. Because we’re not just making clothes. We’re building a different kind of brand, one based on truth, not marketing fluff. We're proving that you can build a business that’s both ethical and desirable. That's the bigger picture.

  AI search just had its biggest shake-up of 2026, and most brands have no idea. Between August 9-18, ChatGPT's share of answers citing Reddit dropped from 13.0% to 2.2%. An 83% collapse in just 9 days. Meanwhile, every other engine moved the opposite direction: The Shift: AI Overviews: 14.2% → 17.8% (+26%) AI Mode: 12.4% → 16.4% (+32%) Perplexity: 8.7% → 9.2% (+6%) Gemini: 2.9% → 3.5% (+24%) What This Actually Means: - Reddit was quietly becoming the default "trust source" for AI answers - ChatGPT pulling back this hard signals a deliberate sourcing change, not a glitch - Brands that built visibility strategy around one engine just lost a huge chunk of exposure overnight - The winners are the ones already diversified across Google's AI surfaces This is the same pattern seen with traditional rankings. Algorithms shift fast, and businesses that depend on a single channel take the hit first. A similar shift happened with a client last quarter: three blog posts stuck on page 3 for months, no new content, no new backlinks. A structural restructure of 14 existing posts alone moved all three to page 1 within six weeks. Same content. Different visibility. The lesson carries over directly to AI search: the source doesn't need to change, the structure and signals feeding the algorithm do. What Brands Should Do Now: Audit which AI engines currently cite the brand and at what rate. Stop over-indexing on one platform's visibility (ChatGPT-only strategies are exposed right now) Build content structured for extraction across AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Perplexity, not just classic SERPs Track citation share weekly, not quarterly. These swings happen in days Volatility like this is where SEO and AEO strategy earns its value. 📊 Drop "VISIBILITY" in the comments for a quick breakdown of where a brand currently stands across these engines.

  @askOkara So far it’s been very mid at doing all those things. It finds very little opportunities on Reddit for example maybe only one or two a day and most of the suggestions are completely irrelevant even though I've tried to tailor the reddit agent as much as possible to find actually relevant content. vague GEO suggestions; it’s not actually autonomous. It can’t go and handle most of the stuff it recommends (was kinda hoping it’d just do that). Even after I manually action a suggestion, like creating a G2 profile, it is not able to even go validate if the G2 profile has even been created, so it never clears the action and just keep suggesting that over and over again. AI UGC is bad, would probably be better if you marketplaced real UCG creators instead, similar to your x campaign approach. Just on that, I feel like a 10% cut that you take for launching these campaigns is a bit egregious considering that your monthly plan is very expensive. you should easily be able to absorb egress fees at 250 bucks. There's not even any way I can filter down creators on X by engagement or things like that either. I feel like your overall idea is really cool, and if it just worked, it'd be worth paying, but it is super overpriced at the moment for what it can do and I’m pretty disappointed tbh. I could honestly just ask my coding agent and get a better or equivalent result. I was really hoping to experience some sort of special sauce that you guys had when I parted ways with 250 bucks.

  Your Customers Might Be Your Best Copywriters The more I learn marketing, the more I think customers are often better copywriters than marketers. We write: “Improve operational efficiency.” A customer says: “I’m tired of wasting two hours on this every Friday.” Same problem. Completely different impact. One sounds like marketing. The other sounds like something a real person would actually say. I’m starting to think good copy is less about sounding clever and more about listening closely enough to borrow the customer’s own language. Curious where have you found your best copy ideas: customer calls, reviews, Reddit or somewhere else?

  My first thought: “Okay, how do I fix this?” So I did what most people do. -Reddit -AI -Google And the more I searched, the worse it looked. People were saying things like: “Wait 5–7 days.” “Your account might be gone.” Some were stuck in the exact same loop.

  God, I love copes like this that come and cry on my Youtube. 1: 100 likes on a reddit thread does not "everyone make." It is not even 1% of the Helldivers 2 community. 2: You are not entitled to my lobby. Thinking I have an ego b/c I kicked you from my lobby is the most backwards *** thinking I've ever heard of. Read. A. Book. 3: A pre-meditated threat to TK someone in the game is an open 4k admit confession that not only are you a griefer, but the one who has the ego is in fact, you. You are the toxic one. That logic where you feel entitled or deserved of being in someone else's space is the most backwards and arrogant thing ever. If being in other people's lobbies upsets you that they don't feel so 'awe inspired' by your presence that they have to keep you or be harassed, try making your own lobby instead of being a coward who can't play without others and self projects you have no friends. Summary: These numptys loves throwing around the word "ego" when what they actually mean is "boundary enforcement." Thinking you are so entitled to someone else's lobby that you throw a tantrum and threaten to team-kill when you're kicked? That’s not an ego problem on my end. That’s pure, unadulterated entitlement on yours. You are not John Helldiver's gift to the lobbies you join to get carried in. You are a liability that needs to learn to play the game, get some friends, and get some perspective.
