Alfred Search: Reddit
Scope: Target subreddits for community sentiment, real user experiences, contrarian takes.
Required Context
context/RESEARCH_CONFIG.md— topics of interest
Target Subreddits
Primary (always search):
- r/LocalLLaMA — open-source LLMs, local inference
- r/MachineLearning — ML research, papers
- r/artificial — AI general discussion
- r/singularity — AGI speculation, tech futures
Secondary (when relevant):

- r/investing — serious investing discussion
- r/startups — founder experiences
- r/ExperiencedDevs — senior engineer perspectives
- r/nvidia — NVIDIA-specific news
Process
1. Search Subreddits
Navigate to target subreddits (hot/top today). Search for posts matching topics of interest.
2. Evaluate Posts
For each high-signal post:
- Capture title and key points
- Note upvotes/comments (engagement)
- Read top comments for quality takes
- Identify contrarian views
Skip: low-effort memes (unless sentiment indicator), beginner questions, repetitive complaints, obvious shilling/FUD.
Look for: real user experiences with products/tools, technical deep dives with benchmarks, industry insiders sharing context, contrarian takes with good reasoning, emerging consensus.
3. Write Report
Output: outputs/YYYY-MM-DD-HHmm-search-reddit.md (local time)
