# How to research Reddit with Claude or ChatGPT

Connect Adlicio and ask Claude or ChatGPT to search Reddit, read the threads and return real comments with links. A real run on "ridge wallet worth it" inside.

Claude and ChatGPT cannot read Reddit threads by themselves, and their web search returns only a few snippets. With Adlicio connected, you ask in plain words and the assistant searches Reddit, reads the matching threads and gets the real comments back, each with its score and a link to the source.

## Steps

1. Connect Adlicio to [Claude](https://tryadlicio.com/docs/connect/claude) or [ChatGPT](https://tryadlicio.com/docs/connect/chatgpt).
2. Start a new chat and ask your question the way a customer types it. Use the 2 to 5 words that name the topic.
3. Optional: name up to 5 subreddits to keep the search inside the right communities.
4. Ask the assistant to sort what it found: pains, objections, outcomes people want, and exact phrases.

Use Adlicio to research "ridge wallet worth it" on Reddit. Then list the main objections, the alternatives people mention, and 5 short quotes in the buyers' own words, each with its link.
```

## A real result

We ran that prompt on 7 October 2026. Adlicio found 6 threads (most in r/EDC), read 111 comments and returned the 40 strongest. It also dropped 7 threads that matched the words but were about something else.

The objections were clear after one read:

- **Cards are hard to get out.** "I have one sitting in a drawer. Too hard to get cards in and out." (12 points)
- **It wears out pockets.** One owner said the corners "started blowing holes in the pocket of my jeans."
- **People feel they pay for the name.** "I definitely paid for the name and I don't even love it."
- **Cheap copies are a real alternative.** Many comments point to $5 to $20 copies on Amazon and AliExpress, and to Trayvax, Herschel and Secrid wallets.

Every quote comes back with its permalink, so you can open the thread and check it.

## Tips

- **Ask like a buyer.** "is X worth it", "X vs Y" and "X stopped working" find better threads than a brand name alone.
- **Go deeper on one thread.** Paste a Reddit thread URL and ask Adlicio to read it. It returns the comments with their replies.
- **Find fresh posts.** Ask for the newest posts from the last week to find people you can reply to.
- **Reuse what you have.** Threads you already collected are skipped and can be read again from your history at no cost.

## What it costs

## Questions

### Can ChatGPT read Reddit without a connector?

ChatGPT's web search can show snippets from Reddit pages, but it does not return the full list of comments with their scores. A connector like Adlicio returns the actual comments with their links.

### Does it work for any subreddit?

It works for public subreddits. Private communities are not included.

### Can I save the results?

Yes. Every run is saved to your Adlicio history, and you can attach it to a brand so it feeds your brand research.
