ThreadFox — Setup and your first Reddit job
https://threadfox.vip/guide

00:00:00 — Put your AI to work on Reddit

ThreadFox lets your AI find relevant Reddit conversations, read community rules, write posts, publish through your own Chrome, and answer useful questions. Start from the private library linked in your order email. Private commands are hidden in this example library.

00:00:18 — Choose the client you already use

In the library, choose where you will use ThreadFox. Claude Desktop regular chat has an extension install. Claude Code and Codex use the terminal route for your operating system. The Code view inside Claude Desktop follows the terminal instructions too. Choose one install route.

00:00:37 — Claude Desktop: open the extension

For Claude Desktop regular chat, download ThreadFox from your private library and open the MCPB file. Choose Claude if your computer asks, then select Install. Start a new regular chat. Desktop supplies Python, and ThreadFox downloads its Node runtime when needed. Your AI account is separate.

00:00:59 — Windows: use your private command

For Claude Code or Codex on Windows, open PowerShell and paste the complete Windows install command from your own library. It installs ThreadFox for the supported clients it finds. The video hides the command; use the real one in your library.

00:01:16 — Mac or Linux: use Terminal

On a Mac or Linux computer, use the matching Terminal command instead. Copy it from your library and let the installer finish. It keeps ThreadFox and your workspace in your home folder, and handles the runtimes it needs. Keep your private command and order link private.

00:01:34 — Restart your AI and connect Chrome

After installation, close and reopen the AI session so its new ThreadFox tools load. Use Chrome signed in to your intended Reddit account, with Microsoft’s Playwright Extension installed. Click the extension and choose a tab once. For an unattended computer, setup can save its connection token. Keep that token private.

00:01:57 — Let your AI check the setup

In the new session, type set up ThreadFox. Your AI uses ThreadFox’s doctor and status checks, then confirms which Reddit account Chrome is using. It explains any incomplete connection. Then your AI can do the Reddit work.

00:02:14 — Give it a useful business brief

Tell your AI what you sell, who it helps, and what it actually does. Add your website and optionally your writing voice. In the library, the brief builder turns those facts into a first-session prompt. The builder works locally; it does not send your brief.

00:02:32 — Start with a useful research result

Build the prompt and copy it into your connected AI. This first request asks for up to three relevant conversations, full posts and comments, and the community rules. It also asks for one useful draft when the evidence fits. Your AI does the research. The example shown here is the prompt, not invented Reddit results.

00:02:55 — Authorize the job; your AI carries it out

When you are ready to publish, give your AI the outreach job and authorize its scope through your named account. It researches the route, writes, publishes, and records the result within that scope. Some replies to found conversations and private chats still ask for approval of the exact wording. You are not asked to do the posting yourself.

00:03:18 — Let it follow through and check the result

Ask your AI to answer substantive questions and check the posts it made. ThreadFox records what was observed, including when public visibility is unconfirmed. If a submission times out, the next job checks whether it went through before trying anything else. That prevents a duplicate reply.

00:03:38 — Give the next job with the same workspace

Your brief, conversation history and outcome ledger stay with your workspace. Give your AI the next job, such as catching up on replies or finding more relevant conversations. Record outcomes supported by your analytics. The toolkit runs with your connected AI on your computer; it is not a hosted always-on campaign.
