# ReplyDaddy Platform Help

Helps the user with ReplyDaddy platform questions — from discovery setup and persona configuration through response quality tuning, pricing optimization, and manual engagement workflow.

## Step 1 — Gather context

If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. **What area of ReplyDaddy do you need help with?**
   - A) Discovery setup — keywords, subreddit targeting, relevance scoring
   - B) Response quality — persona tuning, reducing generic output
   - C) Pricing/costs — LTD vs subscription, BYOK API costs
   - D) Workflow — daily engagement habits, marketing plan
   - E) Compliance — subreddit rules, post eligibility, account safety
   - F) Integration workarounds — CRM logging, lead tracking
   - G) Something else — describe it

2. **How are you using ReplyDaddy?**
   - A) LTD (lifetime deal via RocketHub, BYOK API key)
   - B) Subscription (Free / Starter $99/mo / Growth $299/mo / Scale $799/mo)
   - C) Not sure / just evaluating

3. **What are you trying to accomplish?** (describe your specific goal)

**If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.** Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:
- Social listening strategy or tool comparison → `/sales-social-listening [question]`
- Reddit monitoring strategy across tools → `/sales-social-listening [question]`
- Prospect list building → `/sales-prospect-list`
- Outbound cadence or sequence strategy → `/sales-cadence`

Otherwise, answer directly from platform knowledge using the reference below.

## Step 3 — ReplyDaddy platform reference

**Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, BYOK model, workflow recipes, and engagement patterns.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

Based on the user's specific question:

1. **Discovery setup** — refine keywords to target buying intent, pick niche subreddits, tune relevance scoring threshold
2. **Response quality** — configure persona with real expertise, edit every AI draft, add thread-specific context
3. **Pricing** — calculate total cost (base + API tokens) for usage level, compare LTD vs subscription
4. **Workflow** — use the 90-day plan and habit builder to maintain consistent daily engagement
5. **Safety** — always review before posting, check post eligibility, follow subreddit rules

If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about pricing model and BYOK costs that may change.*

- **Two pricing models exist.** ReplyDaddy sells both a ~$59 lifetime deal (via RocketHub, BYOK) and monthly subscriptions ($99-799/mo). The LTD requires your own Anthropic/OpenAI API key, adding $10-50+/mo in token costs. The subscription model's per-tier feature limits are unclear from public docs.
- **No API, no webhooks, no integrations.** ReplyDaddy is UI-only. You cannot export leads, push to CRM, or integrate into automation pipelines. Manual copy-paste workflow only.
- **BYOK costs are unpredictable.** Each scan and reply generation costs API tokens. At 30 replies and 10 scans/day, monthly API costs can reach $20-50+. Heavy usage may exceed the cost of competing tools with flat pricing.
- **Manual control is the product.** ReplyDaddy never requests Reddit credentials or posts on your behalf. This is a safety feature — but it means every response requires you to manually copy, edit, and post on Reddit.
- **Solo developer product.** Early-stage with limited community knowledge and potential LTD abandonment risk. Factor this into long-term tool selection.
- **Relevance scoring ≠ buying intent.** The 70% relevance weighting tells you a post is topically related, not that the person is ready to buy. Manually filter for purchase-intent language.

- **Self-improving**: If you discover something not covered here, append it to `references/learnings.md` with today's date.

## Examples

### Example 1: AI responses sound generic
**User says**: "My ReplyDaddy responses all start with generic intros and read like obvious product plugs. How do I make them more natural?"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform-guide.md for persona and response optimization
2. Explains that response quality depends on persona configuration — background, expertise, and tone settings
3. Recommends writing a persona that mirrors a real user sharing genuine experience, not a salesperson
4. Suggests always editing AI drafts: remove generic openers, add thread-specific context, mention the product only after providing genuine value
**Result**: User has concrete steps to improve AI response quality

### Example 2: BYOK costs adding up
**User says**: "I bought the LTD for $59 but my Anthropic bill was $47 last month. Is this normal?"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform-guide.md pricing section about BYOK model
2. Explains that every scan, reply draft, and analysis consumes API tokens — this is expected with BYOK
3. Calculates: at ~$0.01-0.05 per reply and heavy scanning, $47/mo is within normal range for active use
4. Suggests optimizing: reduce scan frequency, narrow keywords to avoid wasted analysis, batch daily engagement into focused sessions
5. Compares total cost ($59 + $47/mo = ~$47/mo ongoing) against flat-rate alternatives like Reppit AI ($29/mo) or Subtle AI ($20/mo)
**Result**: User understands their cost structure and can make informed decision

### Example 3: No CRM integration workaround
**User says**: "I found 15 hot leads on ReplyDaddy but there's no way to export them to my CRM. What's the best workaround?"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform-guide.md integration patterns section
2. Confirms no API, no export, no integration exists — manual workflow required
3. Recommends a lightweight manual process: after posting a response, copy the Reddit thread URL, create a CRM contact with source = "Reddit - ReplyDaddy", add thread title and subreddit as notes
4. For tracking: include UTM parameters in product links shared on Reddit
5. Notes: if CRM integration is critical, suggests alternatives with API access (Redreach webhooks, CatchIntent CRM push, Buska API)
**Result**: User has a workable manual process and knows which alternatives offer automation

## Troubleshooting

### Discovery returning irrelevant posts
**Symptom**: ReplyDaddy surfaces posts that are topically adjacent but not relevant to your product
**Cause**: Keywords are too broad or subreddit selection includes large general-purpose subreddits
