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

  • A text post walking through a problem you solved while building an agent, with the link to the writeup in a comment
  • A lessons learned post about human-in-the-loop agent workflows, written so people can discuss their own approaches
  • A question post asking how others handle tool calling in their agents, to start discussion before you ever mention your own product
  • A project share in the weekly project display thread, where the rules say project links belong
  • A detailed breakdown of an agent experiment with context, results, and what you would do differently next time

Avoid

  • Putting a link in the post body, because the rule “Put your links in the comments, not the posts” gets it removed
  • Dropping a link with no context or discussion, which trips the “No Low Effort Posts” rule
  • Promoting your product in most of your posts and comments, which breaks “Limit self promotion” and gets you banned
  • Posting the same promo repeatedly across the community, which counts as spam under “No spam”
  • Being rude or dismissive in comments, which breaks “Be respectful”
  • Treating the community as a traffic source instead of a place to take part in discussions about AI agents

What r/AI_Agents Is For

This community is a place for discussion around AI agents and the tools related to them. By its own description, an AI agent is a large language model that can use tools or execute functions on its own, or with a human in the loop. The people here build with agents, talk about how they work, and discuss the wider ecosystem around them. The description also points to an event calendar and a Discord, so this is an active group that organizes beyond the subreddit itself. For a founder or marketer, that means the room is technical and discussion first, and the rules exist to keep it that way.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Four rules decide whether a marketing-adjacent post survives. “Put your links in the comments, not the posts” bans links in the post body, so any link you want to share goes in a comment, and projects go in the weekly project display thread. “Limit self promotion” says self promotion is fine, but if your posts are all self promotion you get banned, and a good ratio is one out of ten posts and comments. “No Low Effort Posts” removes anything with no context or anything meant to drive people off the site. “No spam” warns that spammers are permanently banned, and “Be respectful” covers how you talk to people in the comments.

What To Post

A good post here is a text post that starts a real discussion about AI agents. Share what you built or learned, explain the problem you ran into, and give enough context that someone can learn from it or push back on it. If you want people to see your blog post or project, follow the rules and put the link in a comment, or use the weekly project display thread for projects. Keep the ratio in mind, one promotional contribution for every ten posts or comments, and spend the rest of your time answering questions and joining discussions with no agenda.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get removed is putting a link in the post body, since the rules only allow links in comments or the weekly project display thread. The fastest way to get banned is spam, or making your posts and comments all self promotion. Low effort posts get removed too, especially anything with no context or posts that exist just to send people somewhere else. Finally, being disrespectful in the comments puts you against the first rule of the community.

Common questions about r/AI_Agents

Can I share my AI agent blog post here?

Yes, if it is genuinely useful to people working with AI agents. Share it as a text post with context, and put the link in a comment.

Can I show off my agent project?

Yes, but only in the weekly project display thread, where the rules say project links belong.

How much self promotion is allowed?

Self promotion is fine as long as it stays at or below one out of ten of your posts and comments, otherwise you get banned.

Can I mention my product without linking it?

Yes. The rule only bans links in the post body, so you can discuss a tool freely as long as links go in a comment.

Is it safe to repost my launch post from another subreddit here?

No. Spammers are permanently banned, so repeated promo posts are the fastest way to lose the account.
