# Put Reddit on autopilot, on a real phone

mobilerun gives your AI agent a real phone, Android or iOS, that drives the Reddit app directly. Genuine hardware identity means your account behaves as a normal user.

## What agents do on Reddit

- **Monitor the subreddits you care about**: Track the communities and keywords you care about. Your agent scans new posts and comments, flagging what needs a human.
- **Post and comment with human approval**: Draft replies and posts from your authorized account, then hold each one for your sign-off. Nothing goes live without you.
- **Research public discussions on a schedule**: Pull public threads, top comments, and community sentiment on a schedule. Your agent hands you a clean summary to act on.

## Why mobilerun for Reddit

Reddit runs on a phone. mobilerun gives your agent a real phone, Android and iOS, so the app behaves exactly as it does for any real user. Authentic device identity means your account behaves as a normal user's: legitimate first-party activity.

- Real hardware, real device and agent identity. Your authorized account runs on a real phone recognized as genuine, so activity reads as legitimate.
- Any model, your way. Drive the real phone through API, SDK, or MCP with whatever model you prefer, or hand a task to the chat VA.
- Reads the accessibility tree, up to about 90% cheaper than vision-only runs, and you pay as you go, stateful on request.

## Example tasks

- Log into the brand account, post the announcement to a subreddit, pin it
- Monitor a subreddit, pull top new posts and overall sentiment as JSON
- Reply to unanswered comments on the latest post from the brand account
- QA the Reddit app: fresh install, sign in, load home feed, assert it renders
