Three jobs we see most, each written out with the requests it takes, working code and what it costs per month.

How the three jobs differ
They share one pattern, which is a search followed by a decision about what to keep. They differ in what you search for and how often.
| Job | What you search for | How often | What you keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand monitoring | Your product or company name, newest first | On a timer, every few minutes | The ids you have already alerted on |
| Lead generation | Phrases people use when they are looking to buy, inside chosen communities | On a timer, every 15 minutes to an hour | A scored shortlist for a person to read |
| Reddit data for RAG | The user's question, then the threads that match | Once per question, or once to build an index | Whole threads, used as context for an answer |
Monitoring and lead generation cost a fixed amount per month because they run on a schedule. Retrieval costs follow how many questions you answer. To size any of them for your own volume, use the cost calculator.
