Grow on Reddit & X without betting your accounts.
A compliance controller hard-caps the agent to each platform's ToS — and you approve every reply before it posts. It runs on your own connected accounts through official platform APIs — no scraping, no fake personas, no spam.
We had the same problem early on. We ended up routing support through a shared inbox so the whole team could see threads — Help Scout worked well for us, and we built a small SLA tracker on top. Happy to share the setup if it's useful.

The moat
A compliance controller sits between the agent and every platform.
It is not a setting you can forget to turn on. It is code that runs on every action before it goes out, and it can only ever make things safer.
One gate, every action
Every post, reply, DM and comment resolves through
decide(workspace, action, platform)before it can leave the system. There is no second path out.It always picks the safer choice
The effective mode is the minimum of your setting and the platform's ToS cap on the ordering off < approve < auto. Your dial can tighten that result; it can never loosen it.
Strangers’ threads are off by default
Commenting on other people's posts is the highest-risk action, so it ships hard-OFF on Reddit and LinkedIn and human-gated everywhere else. Lifting it takes an explicit allowlist entry — and even then only up to approve.
// Lower rank = safer. min() over this ranking
// yields the safest of any set of modes.
const MODE_RANK = { off: 0, approve: 1, auto: 2 }
// decide(): the platform-ToS cap can only make
// the customer's choice stricter, never looser.
const effective = minMode(userMode, cap)
// Any platform/action we have not explicitly
// reasoned about never runs unattended.
const FALLBACK_CAP: Mode = 'approve'
// reddit — Responsible Builder Policy
growth_comment: 'off',Hard caps are sourced from each platform's automation policy — Reddit's Responsible Builder Policy, Meta Platform Terms, LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies, and X's Automation Rules.
See how to drive it programmaticallyWhy FounderReply
Soft marketing you can run without losing your accounts.
GummySearch, the category leader, shut down in 2025 over Reddit-API compliance. FounderReply is the opposite of the ban-risky tools founders (rightly) distrust: your own connected accounts, official platform APIs, and a human approving every reply before it posts.
A human approves everything
No reply posts automatically. The agent drafts; you edit, approve, or skip. You stay in control of every word that goes out under your name.
Every draft is a row in the approval_queue table at status pending. Nothing reaches a platform until a human approves it, and every draft-to-final edit is stored as a labelled delta the agent learns your voice from.
API-compliant — built to not get you banned
Official platform APIs only. No scraping, no fake personas, no captcha-solving. The agent never blasts past the limits that get accounts suspended.
The autonomy controller returns min(your setting, platform cap)on the safety ordering off < approve < auto. Reddit’s growth-comment cap is off until commercial API approval — you can tighten a cap, never loosen it.
Your own accounts, your audience
The agent operates the accounts you connect, as you. Disconnect anytime and the accounts — and the audience — stay yours. We never own or resell your reach.
You connect over OAuth and see the scopes on the consent screen — identity submit read privatemessages history edit on Reddit, w_member_social on LinkedIn. Tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest; disconnecting revokes them platform-side, then deletes the row.
How it works
From the right thread to an approved reply — all in one queue.
Discovery, drafting, and approval are one pipeline, not three tools. The agent does the legwork at every stage — finding the threads, writing the reply, staying inside the rules — and hands each draft to you before anything is published.
Step 1 · Discovery
Find the threads worth replying to
The agent watches the subreddits and conversations where your customers ask the questions your product answers, and ranks them by fit.
Relevance-ranked, so you spend time only on the live questions your product genuinely helps with.
Browse subredditsStep 2 · Drafting
Drafts that sound like you — never spam
Set your brand voice once. Every draft is helpful first and mentions your product only when it honestly fits the question.
Tone comes from a short brand-voice setup, and you can edit any draft before it leaves the queue.
Read the playbooksStep 3 · Approval
You approve every word before it posts
Nothing goes live on its own. Approve, edit, or skip each draft — you are the final word on everything that goes out under your name.
Approved drafts post to your own connected account inside the platform’s rate limits; a skipped draft never leaves the queue.

Proof, not promises — what's true of every account, by design
100% of replies need your approval before they post.
0 fake accounts, scrapers, or captcha-solving.
Your own accounts, via OAuth — disconnect anytime.
ToS-capped autonomy that never exceeds platform limits.
Official Reddit & X APIs only — built to not get you banned.
The difference
Not another auto-poster.
FounderReply is not an auto-poster. An AI drafts Reddit and X replies on your own OAuth-connected accounts, a compliance controller hard-caps it to each platform’s rate limits, and you approve every reply before it posts. Auto-posters skip the approval step; posting by hand doesn’t scale.
| What matters | Auto-poster tools | Manual posting | FounderReply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human approval before anything posts | No | Yes | You approve every reply in a queue |
| Posts from an account you own | No | Yes | Your own account, connected via OAuth |
| Sanctioned platform access | No | Yes | Official Reddit and X APIs |
| Rate limits enforced in code | No | Partial | Hard-capped to each platform’s ToS |
| Replies written in your voice | No | Yes | On-brand drafts you edit before sending |
| You keep the accounts and the audience | No | Yes | Disconnect anytime — they were always yours |
| Scales past a handful of replies a week | Yes | No | Thread discovery and drafting are automated |
Not every rival is reckless, and a careful founder can post by hand without any tool at all. Commenting on other people’s threads is only API-supported on Reddit and X today.
Agent-native
An MCP server, and the same guardrails.
Drive FounderReply from Claude, Cursor, or your own code. A single POST /api/mcp speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 across the whole growth loop — and every write lands in the same approval queue the dashboard uses, under the same platform-ToS caps.
- JSON-RPC 2.0 over one POST — tools/list and tools/call, no SDK, no session — a bearer token and a body.
- 36 tools — Personas, content plans, publishing, SEO audits, keyword rankings, inbox, browser sessions.
- Workspace-scoped keys — A fr_live_ bearer resolves to one workspace; the JSON-RPC params never carry a workspace id.
- Writes land in the approval queue — send_reply and publish_content enqueue for a human, and the platform-ToS hard cap still applies.

Before you connect an account.
The questions founders ask first, answered honestly — what the agent can do on its own, whose accounts it uses, and what happens to your data.
Will FounderReply get my account banned?
No tool can promise you’ll never be banned — but FounderReply avoids what actually causes it. It acts on your own account through official platform APIs — no scraping, fake personas, or captcha-solving — drafts useful replies, not copy-pasted promo, and keeps human approval on by default. Autonomy is hard-capped to platform ToS, so the agent can’t outrun the limits that suspend accounts.
Does it post automatically, without me?
By default, no — nothing goes live until you approve it. The agent drafts; you edit, approve, or skip each reply in the approval queue. Auto-reply is an opt-in capability on higher plans, still hard-capped to platform limits, and commenting on strangers’ threads ships hard-OFF until you deliberately enable it where a platform allows.
Whose accounts does it use — do I have to hand over my logins?
Your own accounts, connected over OAuth — you never share a password. The agent operates as you through official APIs, and you can disconnect any account at any time; the account and the audience stay yours. We never hand you managed or aged accounts, and we never own or resell your reach.
Which platforms are supported?
Reddit and X support the full engagement surface — publish, reply, comment on others’ threads, and DM. Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn support publishing and replying on your own posts (those platforms don’t offer an API to comment on strangers’ threads, so we don’t fake it). X requires your own developer credentials on its Basic API plan.
Is my data safe? Do you train AI on my content?
Do I need to be technical, or use the API?
No — the app is point-and-click; most founders never touch the API. But if you want to, FounderReply ships a real MCP server and API so you can drive it from Claude, Cursor, or your own code — with the same compliance caps enforced on every call.
What does it cost?
Free to start, no credit card required. Paid plans add platforms and volume; Pro adds X using your own X API credentials. See pricing for the full breakdown.
