At Ottomator’s Live Agent Studio Hackathon, developers pushed the boundaries of AI-driven automation, showcasing innovative agents that streamline complex tasks. Among them, Ask Reddit, developed by Kai Feinberg, earned 4th place for its ability to harness Reddit’s vast pool of knowledge and deliver concise, topic-specific insights.
What is the Ask Reddit Agent?
The Ask Reddit Agent is an AI-powered research tool that searches Reddit, aggregates relevant discussions, and summarizes key takeaways from posts and comments. Instead of manually browsing threads for hours, users can simply ask the agent about a topic and receive a quick, AI-generated summary of the most insightful conversations.
Why Reddit?
Reddit is one of the largest forums for crowdsourced knowledge, featuring in-depth discussions, expert opinions, and firsthand experiences on virtually every topic. However, finding the right information can be time-consuming and overwhelming. The Ask Reddit Agent eliminates this friction, making Reddit’s collective intelligence instantly accessible.
Key Features of the Ask Reddit Agent
Instant Reddit Search – No more endless scrolling. The agent searches for relevant posts in real time.
AI-Powered Summaries – Extracts key points from discussions, saving time and effort.
Diverse Topic Coverage – Whether it’s tech trends, product recommendations, or niche hobbies, the agent finds the best insights.

How AI is Revolutionizing Web Research
Traditional search engines are great, but they often prioritize mainstream sources and SEO-optimized content over organic user discussions. AI-powered research agents like Ask Reddit provide a deeper, more nuanced view by tapping into user-generated content, expert discussions, and real-world experiences.
Businesses, researchers, and everyday users can leverage this agent to:
- Discover real user feedback before making purchasing decisions.
- Find expert insights in niche communities.
