Overview

Notion + Reddit Monitoring with AI Insights is a daily automation that tracks targeted Reddit discussions and summarizes them into actionable insights in Notion. The goal was to monitor relevant subreddits and keywords, extract top posts/comments, and generate concise AI summaries so teams can spot trends, pain points, and opportunities without manual browsing.

Key Features

Targeted Reddit Tracking: Monitors specific subreddits and keyword queries on a schedule.
AI Summaries: Generates concise takeaways and themes from posts and top comments.
Notion Knowledge Hub: Writes structured entries to a Notion database with links, metadata, and AI insights.
Noise Reduction: Filters by score, recency, flair, and author to keep only high-signal content.

Tech Stack

Orchestration: n8n scheduled workflows
Data Sources: Reddit API (subreddits, search, comments)
Destination: Notion API (database entries, properties)
AI Layer: LLM for summarization and theme extraction
Backend: Node.js, REST API integrations, error handling and retries

Challenges & Solutions

Signal vs. Noise: Implemented score/time filters and flair rules; deduped by Reddit ID to avoid repeats.
Rate Limits: Added pagination, backoff, and cache to stay within Reddit/Notion quotas.
Useful Summaries: Prompted the LLM to output bullet insights, sentiment, and tags for quick scanning.

Results

Centralized daily digest in Notion with links, metrics, and AI notes
Faster competitive and community intelligence without manual monitoring
Clear themes and sentiment trends to inform product and marketing decisions

Goal

Provide a hands‑off monitoring system that captures the most relevant Reddit conversations and turns them into bite‑sized, actionable insights in Notion—saving time while improving awareness and decision‑making.
