Bazzly
A technical user can build a useful self-hosted Reddit monitor + AI reply system (scan, draft, post) but cannot easily replicate the vendor's managed high-karma account pool, full autopilot operations, and claimed 'zero ban risk' without ongoing operational work and questionable account sourcing.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All Bazzly alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- Continuously scan Reddit for relevant posts, generate AI reply or DM, post via Reddit account, optionally upvote replies to boost ranking, surface leads in a dashboard.
What it still won’t have
- Managed access to 'high-karma' aged accounts and the vendor's account pool
- Vendor-run full autopilot service (hands-off management and risk handling)
- Built-in credit system and monthly support
- Claimed 'zero ban risk' posting model and any proprietary posting/boosting operations
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal Reddit marketing autopilot using Node.js (Express) + React, Postgres, and Docker. Core features: 1) background worker that streams Reddit via subreddit polling, filters posts by keywords, and stores matches; 2) LLM integration (OpenAI-compatible) to produce reply and DM drafts with templating and safety checks; 3) Reddit OAuth flow to post replies and send DMs from the user's account; 4) endpoint to trigger upvote actions via authenticated accounts and simple scheduling; 5) web dashboard to review matches, edit drafts, and view sent messages; 6) basic credits counter and usage logging. Out of scope: providing or managing third-party 'high-karma' posting accounts, proxy/aged-account marketplaces, and automated large-scale account rotation. Include error handling, retries, unit tests for critical components, Docker-based deployment, and scripts to run on a single small VPS.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
