I wanted to share something I hacked together recently โ a workflow that scrapes posts from r/smallbusiness, analyzes them with an AI agent, and captures leads where people are explicitly asking for automation help.๐ Hereโs how it works: - Scrapes new/hot posts from r/smallbusiness.
- AI filters and analyzes the text to spot posts where automation could solve the problem.
- Adds relevant details (problem type, urgency, potential automation idea).
- Automatically pushes the qualified leads into Google Sheets.
๐ก End result: a live database of small business owners actively posting about problems that automation can solve.Iโm thinking of expanding it with:
- Scoring leads by urgency/pain level
- Avoiding duplicates
- Auto-drafting outreach messages
Curious to know โ would this be useful for others here who are working on automation / SaaS ideas?
