Can I link to my blog post about my AI agent tool?
Yes, but only in the comments section, never in the main body of the post. Project links specifically belong in the weekly project display thread.

r/AI_Agents rules, stats, and what to post
A source-backed Rankhog guide to r/AI_Agents: public rules, community context, posting fit, and startup-promotion risk before you publish.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Be respectful: Treat others how you'd like to be treated
- No spam: Spammers will be permanently banned.
- Put your links in the comments, not the posts: This is mainly to prevent spam. If you have a blog post you want to link, link it in the comments. If you have a project you want to show off, link it in the weekly project display thread.
- Limit self promotion: Self promotion is fine, but if your posts are all self promotion (including promotion of your projects/products), you will be banned. A good ratio is one out of ten posts/comments.
- No Low Effort Posts: If your post provides no context, or it is simply meant to drive people off the site and somewhere else, it will be removed.
Works well
- Write a detailed post about a specific challenge you faced building an AI agent, explain what you tried, and ask the community how they would approach it.
- Share a comparison of two approaches to giving an LLM tool access, with your reasoning in the post body and any supporting blog link in the comments.
- Post a question about human-in-the-loop design patterns for AI agents, with enough context that readers can answer without leaving Reddit.
- Use the weekly project display thread to share your AI agent project link with a short description of what it does.
- Participate in nine other discussions for every one post or comment that promotes your own work, to stay within the one out of ten ratio.
Avoid
- Putting any link in the main body of your post, which the rules explicitly forbid.
- Posting only about your own product or project, since that breaks the one out of ten self promotion ratio.
- Submitting a post with no context or one that just pushes people to an external site, which counts as low effort.
- Sharing your project link anywhere except the weekly project display thread.
- Being disrespectful in comments or posts, since the community bans rule breakers permanently for spam.

What r/AI_Agents Is For
This community is for discussion around the use of AI agents and related tools. The description defines AI agents as large language models that can use tools or execute functions in an autonomous or semi-autonomous way, including human-in-the-loop setups. People post here to talk about how these agents work, what they are building with them, and what tools support them. The community also points members to an event calendar and a Discord server, so it is an active hub for people who build or operate AI agents.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called 'No spam' is the one that gets you permanently banned, so treat it as the hard line. 'Put your links in the comments, not the posts' is the rule that decides whether your post stays up, because links in the main body will be removed. 'Limit self promotion' sets a ratio of one out of ten posts or comments, and going over it leads to a ban. 'No Low Effort Posts' means your post needs real context and cannot exist just to send people elsewhere.
What To Post
A good post here starts with a genuine question or insight about AI agents, written with enough context that a reader understands what you are talking about without clicking anything. You write the full idea in the post body, and if you have a blog or tool that supports the discussion, you drop that link in a comment. If you want to show off a project, you use the weekly project display thread instead of making a standalone post. The goal is to start a real conversation about AI agents, not to broadcast a product.
What To Avoid
Avoid putting any link in the main body of a post, because the rule 'Put your links in the comments, not the posts' is enforced by removal. Avoid making your posts all about your own product or project, since 'Limit self promotion' says you will be banned if your activity is all self promotion. Avoid low effort posts that give no context or exist only to drive traffic off Reddit, because 'No Low Effort Posts' will get them removed. And avoid spamming at all costs, because 'No spam' comes with a permanent ban.

Common questions about r/AI_Agents
Can I promote my own AI agent product here?
Yes, self promotion is allowed as long as it stays under one out of ten of your total posts and comments. If all your posts are self promotion, you will be banned.
Can I make a post that just links to my landing page?
No, the rules say links go in the comments, not the posts. A post that just drives people off Reddit will be removed as low effort.
Where do I show off my new AI agent project?
Post it in the weekly project display thread, which exists specifically for showing off projects.
What kind of post will survive here as a founder?
Write a post that gives real context and starts a discussion about AI agents. Share your link in the comments only, and keep your self promotion under ten percent of your total activity.
