Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
No Spam · Builders Welcome with Substance
Posts must provide standalone educational or technical value that exists independently of any linked project. If a post functions primarily as a marketing funnel—or loses its utility when the outbound link is removed—it will be deleted. Users attempting to use the subreddit for lead generation, waitlists, or repetitive self-promotion will be permanently banned.
What its rules say about AI and bots
High-Signal Content Only
This is the high-signal hub for AI. Every post should teach something, share something new, or spark substantive discussion. Removed without warning: low-effort hot takes with no supporting argument, vague "thoughts on X?" posts with no context, screenshots of AI conversations with no analysis, reposts of widely covered news without a new angle. If your post doesn't add signal, it doesn't belong here.
No Repetitive Doom or Hype
AI raises big questions about jobs, society, and the future. We want those conversations, but only when they add something new. Allowed: posts citing specific studies or data, first-person industry experience, new policy analysis, posts engaging counterarguments. Not allowed: generic "AI will take all jobs" takes, rehashing topics from the last 30 days with no new data, pure emotional venting, rhetorical questions with obvious answers. Applies equally to doom AND hype. Search the sub first.
No Tool Requests
"What's the best AI for X?" and similar tool/app recommendation requests are not allowed as standalone posts. They attract spam and don't generate lasting value. Instead, check our curated tools directory at r/ArtificialInteligence/wiki/tools or visit r/AIToolBench for dedicated tool discussion, comparisons, and recommendations. Posts asking for tool recommendations will be removed with a redirect to these resources.
All 8 rules of r/ArtificialInteligence
- Be Civil
Disagree with ideas, not people. Personal attacks, harassment, slurs, and hate speech result in a permanent ban. Heated debate is welcome, toxicity is not. This applies to posts and comments equally. - High-Signal Content Only

Posts asking for tool recommendations will be removed with a redirect to these resources. - News Posts Need Context
If you post a news article or external link, you must add a top-level comment within 30 minutes containing: (1) a brief summary of the key points (2-3 sentences minimum), and (2) why it matters to the AI community. Link posts without a submission statement will be removed. This keeps us from becoming a link dump and ensures every news post sparks informed discussion. Exception: research paper links with a clear abstract in the title are exempt. - Use Correct Flair
Flair your post before or immediately after submitting. Unflaired posts are removed after 30 minutes. Available flairs: News, Discussion, Research, Project/Build (see Rule 3), Tutorial/Guide, Question (not tool requests), New Model/Tool, Fun/Meme, Industry/Career, Analysis/Opinion. Choose the most specific flair that fits. When in doubt, use Discussion. - Title Standards
Titles must clearly describe your post's content. Lead with the signal — who, what, why. Be specific: "Google DeepMind's Gemini 3 scores 92% on MMLU" beats "New AI is really good." Keep it under 120 characters when possible. No ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation. No clickbait like "You won't believe..." or "This changes everything." No vague titles like "Interesting thought" or "Am I wrong about this?" For research posts, include the paper name or key finding.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
