Hey friends… I’m building mangos.ai - a desktop app that helps you distribute your product across social channels. It finds relevant conversations online and joins them. It knows your git commit history so it knows all your features. Hyper personalized to target the best persona out there, every day or every hour, whatever you set it to.

The thing I just shipped is the one I’m most proud of: a Reddit Prospecting & DM draft agent.

Everyone says Reddit is where your customers actually are. They’re right. The problem is what it takes to use it. Read the thread, click into a profile, scroll someone’s whole history to work out if they fit, then write a DM that doesn’t sound like copy paste spam. Do that for twenty people and your afternoon is gone.

So Mangos does the boring part. Point it at a thread, or let it watch your subreddits, and it finds the people worth messaging, digs through their history to check they fit, and drafts a personal DM in their context. Then it hands you a queue. You read it, tweak it, hit send. It never sends on its own, and it won’t touch accounts that are too new, too low on karma, or have DMs closed. Reddit converts harder than anywhere else for me. Serious buyers, not scrollers.

I shipped the same thing for X a few weeks back, scoring people across 20+ signals before drafting. Same rule everywhere: it only does the research and prioritization. Every message lands in your queue for you to approve, one by one. You stay in control of what gets sent.

I’ve been running it on my own product and it’s been incredible. Website visits while you sleep, and you’ll know it’s not a spam bot the second you use it yourself.

This is my weekly routine here in this sub. And I love it. My expertise is in product, go to market, and agents. And I want to help you!

If you are building something, reply your product here and tell me what you are struggling with. I reply to every single comment on these threads.

If you are interested in Mangos’s extended trial that I give away every week,

**1.**	Download Mangos and register. It’s free for 7 days, no CC required.   
**2.**	DM me the email you signed up with and I’ll unlock a 30 day extension. If you are interested. 

Yes, I’ll lose a bit of money on it. The bet is simple: Mangos gets you your first 100 users before you ever pay me. If your product is good, that won’t take long.

I feel like a lot of the MRR comes from people signing up for trials and forgetting to cancel it.

I originally had credit cards required for Mangos.ai but it added more friction in the user journey, so removed it. I wanted users to see the value and willingly pay for it. Some are doing it.

But what’s your take?

Hey friends… I'm building mangos.ai - a desktop app that will help you with distributing your product across social channels. It finds relevant conversations online and joins them. It knows your git commit history so it knows all the features. Hyper personalized to target the best persona out there every day/ every hour whatever you set it.

I just launched X DMs feature. Mangos now researches potential users on X and scores them across 20+ signals — engagement, post quality, reply patterns and more — then drafts a personalized DM for each one. It's not autonomous: the only thing it does on its own is the research and prioritization. Every message lands in your queue for you to review and approve, one by one. You stay in control of what actually gets sent.

I've been using it for my own product and it's been incredible. Website visits while you sleep. Not a spam bot, you'll know when you use it yourself. When the agent navigates social media and types the response, it'll be magical. Every single time.

This is a weekly routine now - I help founders on the weekends with their go to market strategy. I reply to every single one of the comments here. Every one.

Drop your product below. I'm giving away 30 day free trial for every founder from this thread. Yes, I'll lose money but my hope is that Mangos can get you your first 100 users without you investing money in it. Gain your trust and then convert. It's free to download and use. If your product is good, you'll get your first 100 users in no time.

25 days ago, I didn't have a product. About 60% of this product is vibe coded, pushing Claude Pro ($20) subscription to it's limit literally every time I get a chance. I also got 60 users and a handful of them are actively asking to upgrade the app with new features. One user literally loves crapping on the product every day sharing how he wishes it did more. I love that type of user. They want it to work.

To give a background, I have been trying to launch my own "company" if you will for the last 8/9 years. Every time I start something, I have deep conviction, I put together a team and get things moving.

In 2020, I bought this domain mangos.ai for a healthcare product to digitize healthcare ecosystem in India. Spent 3 years, $25,000 in dev shop and got a handful of paid customers. But ended up shutting it down because the product demoed really well but the maintenance was hard and we were getting users frustrated because even logging into the product had bugs. Doctors are impatient. Remember, there was no vibe coding back then to fix things fast. And my dev was handling 6 projects at the same time. I was at his mercy.

I took a break and thought I was not built for this. Let me just survive in my job as a PM. I put all my energy into my job and that took off. Now managing a portfolio of $200 million and junior PMs.

It was indeed confusing. How can I be doing well when I have the resources, but trying to gather my own resources failed. Then in 2023 GPT coding became popular. Started copy pasting code from chat to Visual Studios (before cursor became a thing btw). Built a chrome extension. This time, my cousin and I worked on this end to end. I learnt a ton on how to hook up backend, server hosting, API Key management etc etc. I would say, that experience changed how I see product management now. But I couldn't scale it because 1. I was dependent on my cousin for the most part. Build and distribute. 2. I still had my day job to take care of.

Worked on that chrome extension for 6 months and shut down again. 😞

This time, I really thought I was not built for this.

And then Claude code came in... 😄 Fortunately, my work gave me kinda unlimited claude code tokens to build product. I was one of the only PMs who can actually raise a PR. I could see how coding is transforming. What I was dependent on others to help me with, something that actually slowed me down was getting cleared. I can actually bring my idea to life without dependency.

I re-vamped the chrome extension within literally 3 days. Completely changed the onboarding, improved the backend, migrated from Heroku to Railway within minutes. Claude code was helping me along the way.

Then came OpenClaw! haha. I was super curious about it. "What's the hype about?"

Dove right in on a weekend with Claude code. Set it up to automate some of my twitter engagement, and facebook commenting just to test it's capability. Then came an idea, what if I used OpenClaw to help distribute my chrome extension to potential users. And within days, I was able to automate agents that brought visitors to my website. Not a lot, but for doing nothing, I was able to bring in 10 visitors a day. Not great, but something.

That's when I got an idea, what if I actually productize this OpenClaw I built that finds conversations happening on multiple social platforms and come up with drafts to help founders position their product. Ofc, mine was just a chrome extension, getting 10 visitors nothing, honestly, it was just a simple web scraping and summarizer. There are 1000s of those extensions online, not worth pursuing it.

I must say, the entire product lifecycle took about 8 years to build Mangos AI, but the actual build - writing code started about 4 months ago.

I put it out there as waitlist to see if people would be interested. Within 2 days, I got 50 in waitlist. That was the sign, what I went through as a founder is a very common problem. Especially the future is going to be vibe coders building custom solutions for different use cases.

I know there are multiple products that solves this differently. But my goal is to make Mangos the true Go to market agent that takes care of everything. All the way from lead generation to customer experience. I don't think we are that far from it.

I couldn't hold my excitement when I saw the subscription come through.

FWIW, I may fail at this also. But it does feel like I am onto something.

Don't lose hope. You'll lose only when you stop.

My first ever internet money, i couldn't believe it.

25 days ago, I didn't have a product. Now I have about 60 active users and got my first monthly subscription...

I'm building mangos.ai — a platform that generates leads for solo founders predominantly. I think a lot of founders fail because they don't like the work that goes behind distribution. Because it's a repeatable, boring, mundane process with little creativity. Founders generally want to focus on the product.

One of the most requested features was Reddit lead gen. My users wanted to position their brand here, get awareness, drive inbound. So I tried to build it.

The way it works is actually pretty specific — it reads your most recent GitHub commits(10) and finds conversations online where someone is looking for exactly what you just shipped. It's not a same-message-reply bot. It's tied to your actual product journey. Hyper targeted.

So I built the agent for Reddit. And to stress test it, I let it run autonomously (around 30 comments a day) for a few days. Just so I could watch the terminal logs and catch errors in the app. This was for my own product.

It worked. Like, really worked. Some really hated it, which was expected, but it got the attention the most.

The agent was finding threads like "how do I get my first 100 users?" — which is literally what my product solves — and dropping helpful comments that referenced what I had just shipped on GitHub. Nothing salesy. Just "hey, there are tools available for distributing your specific product, and btw I'm building something for this." The filter the agent runs is basically one question: is what the founder is building directly solving the OP's request? If yes, comment. If not, skip.

Day 5, traffic dropped back to baseline. I hadn't been checking Reddit notifications. Went to look. Mod message. Banned from one of the subs I actually cared about.

Here's what I learned, in case you're thinking about doing the same thing:

Reddit is not a channel you automate. It's a channel you assist.

I went back to some of my users and shared this experience. Asked what they'd want here. Most of them came back with the same answer — "I'd never want this fully automated. I want to manually approve every comment."

So the product now supports a manual approval flow. In fact became the biggest trust factor for what I am building. You ask your agent to search Reddit, it comes back with a list of relevant posts and a sample response for each. You reject, edit, or approve. The agent does the mundane visual processing — scanning the threads, matching them to your latest commits, drafting the reply — so you can get through 20 posts in 5 minutes instead of an hour. But nothing goes out without you saying yes.

Slower. But durable. And ironically the comments perform better when I'm in the loop, because I catch the ones where the AI was technically right but tonally off for that specific thread.

If your user persona lives on Reddit, this channel is worth the effort. But the effort is the point.

Every other post has been about how to get their product in front of their potential users. "How do I get the first 100 users". One of the biggest milestones for any product.

You know your market is HUGE. There could be 10 other version of the same product, it’s totally ok to find your niche and shine there. 8 billion people.

Most of us just needs a few 1000 paying customers who love our product and it grows organically. That’s the dream scenario. But you are stuck in the first step.

Here is the strange part: Almost everyone you ask who succeeded, the playbook is simple - go to social media and keep talking about your product. You’ll get people in.

Yea, no brainer. But the problem is friction in that process. I personally don’t like to brag about my product. I don’t want to keep posting about new features that I’m adding. Yet, I know it’s important.

If that felt like you, the solution is here. I’m building Mangos.ai exactly to solve this problem.

If you use the product to get your first 100 users within 7 days (which is free), I’ll give you an additional 30 days free access. Show the world you can build products people want. And let Mangos take care of the rest.

I truly believe good product don’t have to fail because no one heard abt it.

Share this with who may need it.

You built the product. You know there is a market for it. But you don’t know where to start.

Remember, there are 8 billion people on the planet, more than half of them have internet access. Half of which are using Google Chrome. Your market is HUGE. There could be 10 other version of the same product, it’s totally ok to find your niche and shine there.

Most of us just needs a few 1000 paying customers who love our product and it grows organically. That’s the dream scenario. But you are stuck.

You can’t even get to 100 users.

But here is the thing. Almost everyone you ask, the playbook is simple - go to social media and keep talking about your product. You’ll get there.

There is no rocket science. But the problem is friction in that process. I personally don’t like to brag about my product. I don’t want to keep posting about new features that I’m adding. Yet, I know it’s important.

If that felt like you, the solution is here. I’m building Mangos.ai exactly to solve this for you.

What worked for you that you would like to share with other founders here?
