# Reddit Niche *Listener*

Surface pain points, questions, and complaints from any subreddit. Free Reddit JSON API + AI-summarized insights for content ideas.

## Frequently asked questions

- **How does it work?**
  
  Paste up to 5 subreddits and we pull recent top + rising posts via the public Reddit JSON API, then summarize the recurring themes via AI.
- **Is it official Reddit-sponsored?**
  
  No — we use the public unauthenticated JSON API which Reddit allows for low-volume read access. Tool stays well under their rate limits.
- **How recent is the data?**
  
  Live every 4 hours per subreddit (results are cached server-side to keep API usage tiny).
- **What insights does the AI summary surface?**
  
  Recurring questions, common complaints, vocabulary the audience uses, and 3 content angles per pain point.
- **Does it work for private or banned subs?**
  
  No — only public subs are accessible via the JSON API.
- **Will it preserve user privacy?**
  
  We strip usernames before passing data to the AI summarizer; raw post content is never persisted.
- **Can I save themes to my Kanban?**
  
  Yes — one click converts each surfaced theme into a task with the source posts attached for reference.
- **How many subs can I monitor?**
  
  5 per run anonymous, 25 per run signed-in, 100 per run on Ultra+.
- **Free use?**
  
  Yes — 5 listener runs per day anonymous, 30 per day signed-in.
