Lead Discovery / Local AI
Reddit Opportunity Monitor
A custom monitoring system that finds relevant freelance hiring opportunities and prepares tailored application drafts using locally hosted AI.
The challenge
Searching multiple Reddit feeds, evaluating individual posts, and writing applications manually takes time and makes suitable opportunities easy to miss.
My approach
Python monitors configured feeds and filters incoming posts. Relevant opportunities are sent to Telegram alongside suggested replies generated by a local Ollama model. AI-assisted filtering can be enabled when needed.
System capabilities
- Custom Reddit feed monitoring
- Keyword-based and optional AI filtering
- Context-aware application drafts
- Telegram notifications
- Configurable operating modes
- Locally hosted Ollama inference
Delivered Output
Relevant hiring posts and tailored application drafts delivered to Telegram for review.
Local inference eliminates per-token cloud inference fees, although electricity and hardware still have costs.
