Research the conversations around your launch.
Kanso has no launch mode. It does have research agents that find the Hacker News and Reddit conversations a launch could join, an analysis of your launch page, and drafting agents for your own posts. This page shows how they fit together, and where they stop.
This use case is coming soon
Kanso does not have a launch workflow yet: no launch mode, plan, timeline or tracking. This page shows what its existing research, site analysis and drafting agents can already contribute around a launch, and where they stop.
At a glance
A launch is mostly about being in the right place
Before launch day you want to know where your audience already talks, and whether your page is ready for the visitors.
You do not know where to show up
Which threads and communities matter to your topic is not obvious from the outside.
An unready page wastes the attention
Missing titles, descriptions or canonical links, and rules that block crawlers, are easy to miss before traffic arrives.
Posting blind is risky
Joining a conversation without its context, or sounding promotional, can cost you the audience you wanted.
From guessing to a map of where to go
Kanso does the looking. It does not plan or run the launch for you.
- Searching Hacker News and Reddit for your topic by hand
- Finding out about page problems after launch
- Writing every post from a blank page
- Relevant conversations collected, with the reasons they matter
- Your page analysed before you send people to it
- Drafts you can edit for your own channels
Five agents, each doing its usual job
None of them has a launch setting. Together they cover research, readiness and drafts.
Hacker News Agent
Searches Hacker News for keywords you choose, such as your category, and judges which conversations are worth your time.
- It produces
- Research notes, including a title idea when a story is worth starting.
- Where it fits
- Research.
Reddit Agent
Checks recent posts in subreddits chosen for your business and drafts a reply when one would add something.
- It produces
- Reply drafts for existing threads.
- Where it fits
- Research and replies.
SEO Agent
Analyses up to 25 public pages for titles, descriptions, canonical links, headings, links and speed.
- It produces
- Findings and recommendations for your launch page.
- Where it fits
- Readiness.
LinkedIn Agent
Drafts a founder-voice post from your company context.
- It produces
- A LinkedIn draft to edit.
- Where it fits
- Your own post, once you have edited it.
X (Twitter) Agent
Drafts short posts from your company context.
- It produces
- X drafts to edit.
- Where it fits
- Your own post, once you have edited it.
A research routine before you launch
A sensible order for agents you already have. Kanso does not run them as one launch workflow.
Check your launch page
Kanso reads up to 25 public pages and reports on titles, descriptions, canonical links, headings, structured data, links, robots.txt and your sitemap.
- 02You
Choose your keywords
Set up to eight Hacker News keywords: your category, the problem you solve, the names people use. Reddit's subreddits are inferred from your website.
- 03Kanso
Find the conversations
Run the Hacker News Agent to search stories and comments from the last 48 hours and scan five of its lists. Run the Reddit Agent to check recent posts in your subreddits. Both explain why a conversation is relevant.
- 04You
Read the notes
Open each recommendation in your Agents Feed. Hacker News gives points a comment could address, or a title idea for a submission. Reddit gives a reply draft.
- 05Kanso, then you
Draft and post
Run the LinkedIn and X agents for drafts from your company context, then edit them to describe your launch. Post yourself, wherever you choose to take part.
What you receive
Each output comes from one agent doing its usual job.
Page findings
Recommendations on your launch page, each with the evidence behind it.
Hacker News research notes
Why a conversation matters, what to be careful about and the evidence used. Never finished text.
Reddit reply drafts
A draft for a thread worth joining, with a flag on any claim to verify.
Post drafts
LinkedIn and X drafts written from your company context, for you to edit.
You do the posting
Kanso researches and drafts. Taking part is yours.
Kanso does
- Analyses your page and finds relevant conversations
- Explains why each conversation matters
- Drafts replies and posts from your company context
You decide
- Which conversations to join and what to say
- How to edit each draft to describe your launch
- When and where to post
Kanso never
- Posts to Hacker News
- Publishes a Reddit reply or a social post without your click
- Plans or runs your launch
Where this fits
Situations, not results. What turns up depends on your keywords and your topic.
You are about to launch a developer tool
Search Hacker News for your category to see how related projects are discussed, and read what a useful comment would address.
You want your page checked first
Run the site analysis and fix missing tags before you send people to the page.
You are weighing a Show HN
Use the research notes, including a title idea, to see what is already being discussed before you write your own.
How Kanso approaches launch research
Each point is something the product does today.
It uses agents you already have
Nothing here is a separate launch product. The same agents work from the same company context.
Research stays research
Hacker News is never posted to, and every Reddit reply and social post needs your click.
Your page is checked too
The same site analysis that feeds the SEO Agent covers your launch page.
What Kanso does not do here
This is research and drafting, not a launch platform. These are the limits.
It has no launch mode
Kanso does not plan a launch, keep a timeline or run a campaign. You decide the sequence.
It does not track how the launch went
No votes, karma, replies, impressions or sign-ups. Kanso does not measure results.
It does not write your announcement on request
LinkedIn and X drafts come from your company context, and a run takes no brief. Edit a draft to say what you launched.
It does not post to Hacker News
Kanso never posts, comments, replies or votes there, and never logs in.
It does not submit new Reddit posts
Reddit replies go to existing threads only, and only when you press Post to Reddit.
It does not schedule your posts
There is no post scheduler and no best-time suggestion.

Questions about this use case
Does Kanso have a launch feature?
No. Kanso has no launch mode. This page describes how its research, site analysis and drafting agents can be used together before a launch.
Can Kanso tell me where to post about my launch?
It finds conversations, not launch channels. Hacker News research uses the keywords you set, and Reddit discovery uses subreddits inferred from your website.
Can Kanso write my launch post?
It drafts from your company context rather than a launch brief, so edit a draft to describe your launch. On Hacker News it gives research notes, not finished text.
Does Kanso post for me?
No. Reddit replies and LinkedIn or X posts go out only when you press the button, and Kanso never posts to Hacker News.
Will Kanso tell me how the launch went?
No. It does not track votes, replies, impressions or sign-ups.
How often do the agents run?
Most agents run when you start them from your dashboard. Scheduled runs are built in and currently paused.
