dist0

Your buyers’ pains on Reddit,
answered in Slack.

A Slack bot that reads Reddit for you and turns it into daily briefs of buyer pains, leads to chase, and drafts to send.

Add to Slack

Install in Slack and start getting daily briefs.

A Slack channel named dist0-briefs, its description reading Daily signals from your audience, where the dist0 app has posted a run of buyer-pain signals — each with a headline, a short summary, a quoted Reddit comment with its author and subreddit, source-post links, and a suggested next move.
02 · How it works

You message it. It answers from your real briefs.

dist0 lives in your Slack. You talk to the bot in plain language, the way you would a teammate — and every answer is built from your own research.

01Talk like a teammate

Direct message the bot, or @mention it in a channel it has been invited to. Write in plain language — there is nothing to learn.

02Answers grounded in your work

Every reply is built from your buyer pains, competitor mentions, and leads, tied to your business and the subreddits you watch.

03You stay in control

It answers questions and writes drafts you copy. Sending is always yours to do — it never posts or messages anyone on your behalf.

03 · In the chat

Keep the conversation going.

Once your brief lands in Slack, you just keep talking — read any signal in full, change your setup, and work through your leads, all in plain language.

what’s the context of the declining organic reach pain?
dist0App12:16 PM

Description

Founders and marketers report that organic reach on social platforms continues to shrink and is expected to get even harder, making it increasingly difficult to gain visibility without paid spend.

Reddit quote

It has definitely been organic reach and I recently saw a post from Neil Patel where he said that its going to be even more difficult to have organic reach now.

04 · The next move

Ask for the draft. Get it back ready to copy.

When you know what you want to do about a signal or a lead, ask the bot to write it. It finds the matching signal or lead and hands back a finished draft, built from that person’s real pains and posts. You copy it and send it yourself — dist0 never messages anyone for you.

What you can ask
  • “draft a DM for the lead u/foo”
  • “draft a content brief for the onboarding pain”
  • “write a reply to the broken-analytics post”
  • “draft a feature brief for the export request”

If the request is too vague to pin down, the bot asks one short question instead of guessing.

draft a DM for the lead u/foo

Found the matching lead and drafted a DM based on their onboarding pain.

Lead: u/fooPain: onboarding confusionTone: helpful, direct

Hey — saw your post about onboarding friction and the time it takes to get new users to first value. I work on a tool that turns recurring market signals into concrete briefs and outreach ideas.

Thought you might find it useful if you're trying to spot what new users keep getting stuck on.

Happy to share the exact workflow if helpful.

dist0 writes drafts. You review and send.
Message #dist0
05 · Getting started

Set up once, then just talk.

Step 1

Add dist0 to Slack

A workspace admin installs dist0 from the Slack marketplace and approves what it can see. This happens once for the whole workspace.

Step 2

Connect your account

Say hi to the bot and tap Connect dist0 to link your dist0 account in the browser. Everyone links their own — the bot only answers people it recognizes.

Step 3

Start the conversation

Message the bot for your brief, your leads, or a draft. That is the whole thing.

Switch which project the bot focuses on any time with /dist0-project. Unlink yourself with /dist0-disconnect; the bot stays for everyone else.

06 · FAQ

Questions about the Slack bot.

If you have a different one, write us at support@dist0.com.

How do I talk to it?
Direct message the bot, or @mention it in a channel it has been invited to. Write in plain language the way you would to a teammate. The only command you need is /dist0-project, to switch which project it is focused on.
Do I have to install anything?
A workspace admin adds dist0 from the Slack marketplace once. After that, everyone in the workspace can use it — each person links their own dist0 account the first time they say hi.
Will it post or message Reddit users for me?
No. It only reads public Reddit posts and writes drafts you can copy. It never posts, comments, votes, or sends messages on your behalf. Sending is always yours to do.
What if it doesn't understand what I asked?
If your request is too vague, it asks one short question instead of guessing. It also stays on topic — your projects, subreddits, briefs, and leads — so it won't wander into small talk.
How does this relate to the email brief?
It's the same research, in two places. The email brief is what you read; the Slack bot is what you talk to. Ask it for your latest brief any time, without waiting for the next email.
How do I stop using it?
Unlink yourself any time with /dist0-disconnectin Slack. To remove the bot for the whole workspace, an admin uninstalls it from Slack’s own app settings.
