F5Bot
Know the moment you're mentioned online
F5Bot is a keyword monitoring service that watches Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters for brand names, products, and topics, then sends an email alert when a match appears in a new post or comment. It is designed for people who need to know when a subject is being discussed so they can respond while a thread is still active.
Monitoring covers posts and comments across all three platforms, with advanced filtering by subreddit, excluded terms, and co-occurring keywords. AI filtering lets users describe what they are looking for in natural language. Alerts can be delivered by email, Slack or Discord webhooks, RSS, JSON, or a programmatic API, with options for instant delivery, delayed batching, or a daily digest.
F5Bot is aimed at individuals and teams, including developers, marketing and PR professionals, and others tracking brands, competitors, leads, or content. A free plan provides keyword alerts with basic filtering and email notifications. Paid tiers add more keywords, advanced filtering, full post text, RSS and JSON feeds, AI filtering, and Slack/Discord integration; AI filtering includes an initial allowance for token usage, with additional consumption billed separately. An Enterprise option is available for larger needs.
