How to Use Reddit Scanning:

Click "🔍 Scan Reddit" button
Located in the content generator section at the bottom of the admin portal

Wait for the scan to complete
The AI will analyze posts from r/autism, r/AutismParenting, r/AutismTranslated, r/aspergirls, r/aspergers, r/specialneedskids, and r/ADHD

Review the Intelligence Report
You'll see trending topics, urgent unanswered questions, and specific action items

Take immediate action
Pick the #1 trending topic and create content around it within 2 hours for maximum reach

💡 Pro Tips for Reddit Scanning:

Time it right: Scan Reddit 2-3 times per day (morning, afternoon, evening) to catch different conversation cycles
Look for patterns: If the same topic appears in multiple scans, it's gaining serious momentum
Answer urgent questions: Unanswered questions are goldmines for helpful content that builds trust
Monitor engagement numbers: Higher engagement means the topic resonates more with parents

📋 Example Reddit Scan Results:

Top Trending Topics:

"Back to School IEP prep" - 847 mentions (423 avg engagement)
"Sensory overload in stores" - 245 mentions (156 avg engagement)
"Autism-friendly Halloween" - 178 mentions (89 avg engagement)

Urgent Questions:

"How do I handle meltdowns at grocery stores?" (Behavior Support)
"What sensory tools work for school?" (Sensory Processing)

⚠️ Important: Reddit scanning works best when you act quickly. Trending topics have a 24-48 hour window before they peak and decline. Create content immediately after scanning for maximum impact.

🧠 AI Content Optimization

AI Optimize takes your content ideas and enhances them using machine learning insights from 100,000+ successful autism parenting posts. It improves engagement, reach, and connection with your audience.

How to Use AI Optimization:

Enter your basic topic in the topic input field
Example: "handling meltdowns" or "sensory tools for school"

Select your target platforms
Click the platform chips to select/deselect. AI optimization varies by platform

Click "🧠 AI Optimize" button
The AI analyzes successful content patterns and optimizes your topic

Review the optimized suggestions
You'll see improved headlines, better hashtags, optimal content structure, and engagement hooks

Use the optimization or generate full content
Either manually create content using the optimization tips, or click "Generate Content" for full posts

💡 Pro Tips for AI Optimization:

Start broad, get specific: "meltdowns" → "public meltdowns at Target" → optimization makes it even more specific
Platform differences matter: Instagram optimization focuses on visual hooks, TikTok on first 3 seconds
Test different angles: Run optimization on the same topic multiple times for different approaches
Learn from patterns: Notice what the AI consistently recommends and apply those insights to all your content

📋 Example: Before vs After AI Optimization

Before Optimization: "Tips for handling meltdowns"

After AI Optimization:

Instagram: "POV: Your child has a meltdown at Target and you handle it like a pro 💪 (Save this for next time)"
TikTok: "If you're an autism parent, save this video right now. Here's my 3-step process for public meltdowns..."
Optimal hashtags: #AutismMom #PublicMeltdowns #AutismParenting #YouGotThis
Best posting time: Saturday 7 AM EST (when stressed parents are awake early)

⚠️ Remember: AI optimization learns from your audience's behavior. The more you use it and track results, the better it gets at predicting what will work for YOUR specific audience.
