The marketing helper for the solo founder.
It does the legwork of showing up where your users talk. You do the posting.
-
Knows your product
Armed with your project's context: a brief read from your site, plus your founder profile. No draft claims a fact beyond it.
-
Finds the threads that matter
Scans every 20 minutes and scores each thread for fit, so only the relevant ones reach your inbox.
-
Replies ready, in your voice
Every hot thread arrives with a reply drafted in your tone. Touch it up, copy it, post it.
How it works
Give it a URL. Get back a week of moves.
You know your product. Ottabuzz knows where people are talking about the problem it solves, and keeps the list short enough to finish.
-
The brief
It reads your site and drafts what the product is, who it is for, and what never to claim. You review it. No draft may use a fact beyond it.
-
The radar
Every 20 minutes it scans Hacker News, Reddit and your feeds for your keywords, and rates each new thread from 0 to 100.
-
The draft
Hot threads get a reply written from the brief and your founder profile, in your voice. Touch it up or take it as it is.
-
You post
Copy, open the thread, post, mark it replied. A thread you never got to expires on its own, so the inbox only holds what is still worth it.
A thread, as it arrives
Someone just asked for what you built.
That is an opportunity: a thread about the problem your product solves. It reaches you scored, explained and answered. One press copies the reply and opens the thread. Try it.

How well the thread fits your product, from 0 to 100.
-

One line on why it is worth your time, so you can say no fast.
-
Draft
Helpful first, in your voice, built only from your brief. Edit it before you copy.

Reddit opportunity r/SaaS, 2 h ago
I can build anything, but I have no idea how to market it. Where do you find users?
Solo dev, shipped two products this year. Both sit at zero. Posted on Twitter a few times and heard nothing back. I have maybe three hours a week for this. Where do I even start?
Why: A solo founder short on time, asking where to find users. Exactly who this is for.
What it does
The work after you press launch, already started.
Six parts work the week for every product you run. Today sits on top and pulls the best of all of them into one list.
-
Today
The top of every product in one list. Open it once a week and start at the top.
-

-

The one thing it will not do
It never posts for you. Your accounts stay safe and your voice stays yours.
-
No bots in your name
No account to hand over, nothing to get banned. Every word goes out by your hand.
-
Drafts, not decisions
Model words arrive in a field you can edit. When a thread is not worth it, it says so plainly.
-
Facts from your brief only
You approve what the product is. A draft cannot claim anything beyond it.

- Malayalam for one. Single, alone, on your own.
Built by one founder, for another.
I build products alone, several at a time, on one framework. Building is the part I am good at. Marketing is the part that never got done: no habit, no audience, and a few hours a week at best.
So I built the partner I needed. It finds the conversations, hands me the words, tells me where to show up, and gets out of the way. I use it on every product I run.
One rule shaped all of it: it never speaks for me. It drafts, I edit, I post. Every reply that goes out is one I would have written myself, with more time.
And it runs lean, on one Cloudflare Worker, because a tool for founders with no marketing budget should cost close to nothing to keep running.
