How to get Reddit posts and comments with AI
Reddit threads are long, honest and full of detail, which makes them useful for product research and hard to read at scale. With a data source connected, your AI can search subreddits, pull full threads and summarise them.
What data you get
Your AI chooses among these sources. All Reddit sources are on the Reddit data page.

Limits
- Public data only. Private accounts, messages and anything that needs someone's login are not collected.
- Removed and deleted posts or comments only show what Reddit still shows publicly, usually nothing.
