Social Cue

Social Cue is an AI agent designed to help brands find and engage in online conversations that matter. It hunts social media platforms—specifically Reddit, Hacker News, and X—for threads worth joining, scoring each one against your brand's relevance and drafting replies in your voice. The tool runs on your existing Claude subscription, driving a dedicated Chrome browser instance via Claude Code to read and interact with these platforms like a human would, without requiring platform APIs. The agent streams its findings into a local dashboard served on your machine (localhost:8377), where opportunities are ranked and filterable by brand, platform, and status. All data is stored locally in an SQLite database, ensuring privacy and no cloud uploads. You review each drafted reply, edit it, and either post it yourself or, on the Pro plan, have Claude pre-fill and submit it after your approval. Social Cue offers a free discovery tier, while the Pro plan adds assisted posting, product directory submissions, and tracking. It integrates with Postiz for content scheduling, providing a complete playbook for publishing and engagement. The tool is installed as a Claude Code plugin and includes a Chrome extension for scoring content you read with your own API key.
