Monitor Reddit for Sales Opportunities
Every two hours, the agent scans Reddit for buying intent via Google, scores opportunities with GPT-4o-mini.
What it does
Catch potential buyers on Reddit every two hours by having the agent scan for buying-intent keywords using Google. It analyzes each post to spot genuine sales opportunities, assigns a confidence score, and automatically creates Asana tasks enriched with intent levels and problem summaries so you can act immediately.
Step by step
- Configure SerpApi to query Reddit using specific buying-intent keywords and set the interval to two hours.
- Map the API response from SerpApi into a structured JSON payload containing post title, body text, and URL for the LLM input.
- Define the Asana task creation schema with fields for project ID, section ID, and custom fields for intent level and confidence score.
Where the LLM does the work
- Prompt the OpenAI model to evaluate if a Reddit post indicates genuine purchase intent rather than casual discussion or support requests.
- Instruct the LLM to assign a numerical confidence score between 0 and 100 based on the clarity of the buying signal in the text.
- Generate a concise summary of the user's core problem and categorize their intent level (e.g., high, medium, low) for enrichment purposes.
Watch out for
SerpApi requests can exceed your plan limits quickly if you search too broadly, so restrict keywords to high-value terms only.
Asana API tokens expire or lose permissions over time, verify the service account has write access to the target project before deployment.
Reddit search results often include deleted or private posts that cause parsing errors, add error handling to skip malformed JSON responses.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Monitor Reddit for Sales Opportunities: Every two hours, the agent scans Reddit for buying intent via Google, scores opportunities with GPT-4o-mini. ## Specification - What it does: Catch potential buyers on Reddit every two hours by having the agent scan for buying-intent keywords using Google. It analyzes each post to spot genuine sales opportunities, assigns a confidence score, and automatically creates Asana tasks enriched with intent levels and problem summaries so you can act immediately. - Trigger: On a schedule (Scheduled · every 2 hours) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - SerpApi: Search Google for Reddit posts - OpenAI Chat Model: Analyze post intent and classify opportunities - Asana: Create tasks for qualified leads - Google Chat: Send real-time alerts to sales teams - Gmail: Handle workflow errors via email alerts ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. SerpApi requests can exceed your plan limits quickly if you search too broadly, so restrict keywords to high-value terms only. 2. Asana API tokens expire or lose permissions over time, verify the service account has write access to the target project before deployment. 3. Reddit search results often include deleted or private posts that cause parsing errors, add error handling to skip malformed JSON responses. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/12102 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Search than SerpApi?
Yes. SerpApi is only the example search in this recipe. The same flow works with GNews, InfraNodus, Jina AI and NewsAPI. Swap the search connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
Who it's for
Built for sales teams who want the prep work done before they pick up the phone.
Founders and execs get the same output without having to ask someone else to run it.
