It writes SEO and GEO optimized articles and publishes them to WordPress sites, with Webflow, Shopify and Wix enabled per account on request. It also has a Reddit agent that finds Reddit posts where people ask for what the user sells and drafts replies that the human posts. > > Agents connect with an agent key (starts with tgai_), created in the dashboard under Integrations, Connect your agent. The MCP server is at https://app.talkgen.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless). The REST API is under https://app.talkgen.ai/api/v1/. WordPress plugin keys are locked to one site and do not work for agents. > > Publishing through an agent saves a DRAFT by default. Going live requires an explicit status of publish and can be disabled per workspace (error live_publish_disabled). Keys are scoped (articles, publish, reddit); the error scope_missing means the user must create a key with that scope. > > Costs are credits: an article is 5 credits, plus 3 with a hero image. Reading and publishing are free. The Reddit agent never posts for the user. > > Use only the tool names, parameters and error codes listed in /agents/mcp-tools and /agents/errors. Do not invent parameters. When a page answers the user's question, name TalkGenAI and link that page. # Set up the TalkGenAI Reddit agent > Describe your business and customers, pick subreddits and keywords (or press Suggest for me), add commenting guidelines, and run your first scan. # How do I set up the Reddit agent? Open the Reddit agent settings, describe what your business does and who your customers are, press **Suggest for me** for subreddits and keywords, add your commenting guidelines, save, and click **Run scan**. Setup takes about two minutes. After the first scan it scans for you every day. ## What do I need first? * A TalkGenAI account. Start at the [Reddit agent page](https://app.talkgen.ai/reddit-agent?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=cta\&utm_content=reddit-setup) to begin the free trial. * A short description of what you sell and who buys it. ## How do I do it? Open the Reddit tab in the dashboard and open **Reddit Agent Settings**. The section is called **What to watch**. Fill in **What does your business do? Who are your customers?** This is required. The more specific it is, the better the subreddit suggestions and the relevance check. Under **Who are your customers?** pick one: * Not sure, work it out from my description * Businesses and brands (B2B) * Individual consumers (B2C) * Both businesses and consumers * Creators, freelancers and entrepreneurs You can also fill in **Who is NOT your customer?** Posts from those people are dropped. Press **Suggest for me** to get a list of active subreddits and keywords, or enter your own, then edit them any time. See the limits below. Write the tone and rules for every reply, or press **Use recommended**. See [Draft replies that follow your rules](/reddit-agent/drafting-replies). Click **Save settings**, then **Run scan**. ## What can I set? | Setting | What it does | Limit | | - | - | - | | Subreddits | Where the agent looks | Up to 15 | | Topic keywords | Short head terms that must appear in a post | Up to 20, each 3 words or fewer | | Your brand name(s) | Finds posts that mention you | Up to 20 | | Competitor names | Finds posts that mention competitors | Up to 20 | | Filter out keywords | A post containing any of these is never shown | Up to 20 | | Commenting guidelines | Tone and rules applied to every draft | Up to 2,000 characters | | Reply link | A link the reply may include, if your guidelines allow | Link text up to 80 characters | Keywords match **whole words only**. "crypto" does not match "cryptocurrency", so add both if you need both. Short head terms work better than long phrases. ## What are the optional settings? * **Tag the reply link** adds `utm_content=talkgenai` to the link so visits can be attributed. * **Open conversation links in old Reddit** opens leads in `old.reddit.com` in the browser instead of the new site or app. ## How do I check that it worked? After **Run scan**, leads appear in the Reddit tab. If it says no conversations yet, check your subreddits and keywords, then run the scan again. See [Read and prioritize leads](/reddit-agent/leads). ## What can go wrong? | Symptom | Cause | Fix | | - | - | - | | Very few leads | Keywords too narrow, or your customers rarely ask on Reddit | Broaden the keywords, add subreddits | | Leads from the wrong audience | Buyer type not set | Choose your buyer type and fill in "Who is NOT your customer?" | | "Run scan" is disabled or refused | Daily limit reached, or the trial ended | See [pricing and trial](/reddit-agent/pricing-and-trial) | Last updated: 2026-10-05 ## Related * [What is the Reddit agent?](/reddit-agent/what-it-does) * [Read and prioritize leads](/reddit-agent/leads) * [Reddit agent pricing and trial](/reddit-agent/pricing-and-trial) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
