Bazzly
AI tool that hunts Reddit for conversations where your product is relevant and drafts the reply, with aged posting accounts attached.
The listening half of this is not hard: Reddit exposes search and subreddit feeds, and an agent can rank hits for relevance and draft a comment in your voice by lunchtime. The half you cannot build is the account layer, meaning aged handles with real karma, subreddit-specific posting history, and enough trust to not get shadowbanned on the first link drop. If you are promoting one product from one account you actually own and post from, the DIY version covers most of the real value. If the reason you were paying is account inventory and rotation, no amount of code fixes that, because the scarce thing is time served on someone else's platform. Also worth saying out loud: the moment you are automating replies from accounts that are not yours, you are doing the thing Reddit bans people for, and no tool makes that safe.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- Aged, high-karma accounts with credible posting history
- Multi-account rotation, proxies, and whatever ban-avoidance heuristics they have learned the hard way
- Their curated map of which subreddits tolerate product mentions and which will nuke you
- A hosted dashboard, team seats, and shared approval queues
- Someone else's problem when the API terms or rate limits change
Why people still pay
Because karma cannot be compiled. People pay for the part of the product that is a stockpile of trusted accounts and a running list of which communities will let a link live for more than eleven minutes, and both of those are accumulated rather than built. There is also the boring reason: the DIY build gives you a feed of opportunities, and most people do not want a feed, they want the comment already posted, by something that looks like a person who has been on Reddit for six years.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- Runtime and tools: Python, SQLite FTS5, a PDF/text extraction worker and a React evidence notebook.
- Before starting: User-owned or licensed source documents, a local data folder and an optional explicitly configured model provider.
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule — domain: Store Query, ThreadSnapshot, MatchReason, CommunityRuleSnapshot and ReplyDraft; score reasons must quote source text and each draft retains the thread revision it answered.
Project rule — scope and recovery: Use authorized API access or user imports with current community rules. Do not treat public visibility as permission for bulk outreach; closed/deleted threads invalidate pending drafts.
Project rule — acceptance: Feed an advice-seeking post and a complaint that forbids promotion; only the former reaches the review queue, and neither is posted automatically.
Project rule — delivery: document real setup commands and permissions; do not claim a build, accuracy level, performance result or security certification that has not been demonstrated.
Recommended skill: modern-python — structure the Python worker or explicitly optional read-only utility with pinned dependencies, typed boundaries and clear failure handling. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime.
Recommended skill: web-design-guidelines — review keyboard access, focus, validation, error recovery and the readable work/review interface or HTML report. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime.
Implementation plan
Phase 1
Pin the working slice and create its example input: Review permitted Reddit search results for explicit product-recommendation requests, score relevance against a saved product brief and draft a reply for manual approval. Confirm setup: User-owned or licensed source documents, a local data folder and an optional explicitly configured model provider.
Phase 2
Implement persistence and write-time invariants before decorating the UI: Store Query, ThreadSnapshot, MatchReason, CommunityRuleSnapshot and ReplyDraft; score reasons must quote source text and each draft retains the thread revision it answered.
Phase 3
Connect the working view to real saved state. Preserve source hashes, page/section anchors and exact quotations. OCR and optional generated summaries are derived views, never replacements for originals; label missing text and unsupported claims.
Phase 4
Expose the app-specific limits and recovery path in context: Use authorized API access or user imports with current community rules. Do not treat public visibility as permission for bulk outreach; closed/deleted threads invalidate pending drafts.
Phase 5
Walk through this concrete acceptance case and preserve its exported evidence: Feed an advice-seeking post and a complaint that forbids promotion; only the former reaches the review queue, and neither is posted automatically. Finish the README and backup/restore instructions; report unfinished capabilities explicitly.
Build the following focused alternative to Bazzly. This is a deliberately limited personal or small-team substitute, not parity with the paid service. WORKING SLICE Review permitted Reddit search results for explicit product-recommendation requests, score relevance against a saved product brief and draft a reply for manual approval. SETUP AND ARCHITECTURE Use Python, SQLite FTS5, a PDF/text extraction worker and a React evidence notebook. Prerequisites: User-owned or licensed source documents, a local data folder and an optional explicitly configured model provider. Before integrating anything, record actual versions and permissions, plus model files or provider limits only where used, in the README; make unavailable dependencies visible rather than simulating success. DOMAIN MODEL AND INVARIANTS Store Query, ThreadSnapshot, MatchReason, CommunityRuleSnapshot and ReplyDraft; score reasons must quote source text and each draft retains the thread revision it answered. IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT Preserve source hashes, page/section anchors and exact quotations. OCR and optional generated summaries are derived views, never replacements for originals; label missing text and unsupported claims. Provide an input/setup view, the main work view, and a review/export view appropriate to this workflow. Preserve the last saved state if a job or save fails. Include empty, loading, permission-denied, partial and retryable-error states. Log identifiers and error categories without secret values or unnecessary private content. APP-SPECIFIC BOUNDARY AND RECOVERY Use authorized API access or user imports with current community rules. Do not treat public visibility as permission for bulk outreach; closed/deleted threads invalidate pending drafts. ACCEPTANCE SCENARIO Feed an advice-seeking post and a complaint that forbids promotion; only the former reaches the review queue, and neither is posted automatically. Also reopen the app after an interrupted operation, confirm the saved record/export remains inspectable, and document the recovery action. These are implementation acceptance requirements, not a claim that this guide has been tested. DELIVERY Deliver a runnable repository with migrations or project-format versioning, a non-sensitive example, environment/permission setup, the exact manual acceptance steps, and a backup/export-and-restore walkthrough. Implement the working slice before optional integrations; list any deferred paid-product capabilities honestly. Do not add capabilities outside the working slice just to resemble the original product. PROJECT RULES FOR AGENTS.md Keep the domain invariants above executable at the write boundary. Propose scope changes before adding providers or permissions. Never fabricate source evidence, publish results, identity matches or successful delivery. Preserve user originals and require an explicit confirmation for destructive changes or external publication.

Questions about Bazzly
Can you build your own Bazzly with AI?
Partly. The listening half of this is not hard: Reddit exposes search and subreddit feeds, and an agent can rank hits for relevance and draft a comment in your voice by lunchtime. The half you cannot build is the account layer, meaning aged handles with real karma, subreddit-specific posting history, and enough trust to not get shadowbanned on the first link drop. If you are promoting one product from one account you actually own and post from, the DIY version covers most of the real value. If the reason you were paying is account inventory and rotation, no amount of code fixes that, because the scarce thing is time served on someone else's platform. Also worth saying out loud: the moment you are automating replies from accounts that are not yours, you are doing the thing Reddit bans people for, and no tool makes that safe.
What does the Bazzly build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Review permitted Reddit search results for explicit product-recommendation requests, score relevance against a saved product brief and draft a reply for manual approval. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: Aged, high-karma accounts with credible posting history; Multi-account rotation, proxies, and whatever ban-avoidance heuristics they have learned the hard way; Their curated map of which subreddits tolerate product mentions and which will nuke you. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the Bazzly prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this Bazzly project take?
The catalogue estimate is a weekend for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing Bazzly?
Aged, high-karma accounts with credible posting history; Multi-account rotation, proxies, and whatever ban-avoidance heuristics they have learned the hard way; Their curated map of which subreddits tolerate product mentions and which will nuke you; A hosted dashboard, team seats, and shared approval queues; Someone else's problem when the API terms or rate limits change. Because karma cannot be compiled. People pay for the part of the product that is a stockpile of trusted accounts and a running list of which communities will let a link live for more than eleven minutes, and both of those are accumulated rather than built. There is also the boring reason: the DIY build gives you a feed of opportunities, and most people do not want a feed, they want the comment already posted, by something that looks like a person who has been on Reddit for six years.
What price is this guide comparing against?
The recorded All in One (single plan) plan is $99/mo (monthly flat, credit-metered), checked 2026-08-18. Check the linked pricing source before buying. Building your own also has hosting, API and maintenance costs; the recorded amount is not a guaranteed saving.
What can I use instead of building Bazzly?
No alternative is listed in this entry yet. That is a gap in this catalogue, not proof that no suitable product exists. Compare the paid product and the proposed scope before committing to a build.
