This is the first tutorial in the Using Results series. You've run a scan — now let's make sense of what came back. By the end of this article, you'll know exactly what every number, label, and button in your feed means, and how to use filters to focus on what matters.
What the Feed Looks Like
After a scan completes, your feed fills with matched posts — one card per Reddit conversation. Here's the anatomy of a single card:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ r/SaaS · SaaS CRM Leads │
│ │
│ Looking for a CRM that integrates with Slack │
│ Match: User is comparing HubSpot alternatives for │
│ a small team and specifically mentioned Slack... │
│ │
│ [post body preview — collapsible] │
│ │
│ ┌─ AI Draft ──────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ "Yeah, I've been there — HubSpot is powerful │ │
│ │ but overkill for a team of 5. Quick │ │
│ │ question: is Slack integration your top │ │
│ │ requirement, or are there others...?" │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ │
│ ▲ 14 💬 23 [Positive] ████████░░ 82 📌 ✅ ✕ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Every element tells you something. Let's walk through each part.
Relevance Score (0–100)
At the bottom-right of every card you'll see a number and a coloured bar. This is the relevance score — how well the AI thinks this post matches your Interest, on a scale from 0 to 100.
The colour tells you the quality tier at a glance:
| Score Range | Colour | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | 🟠 Orange | High intent, strong fit — worth replying to quickly |
| 60–79 | 🟢 Green | Good match, worth reviewing |
| 0–59 | 🟡 Yellow | Partial match, maybe relevant |
You'll notice that only posts above your relevance threshold appear in the feed at all (the default is 6, shown as 60 in the score). Posts below that bar are filtered out automatically. You can raise or lower the threshold in Settings → AI Analysis to control how much you see.
Tip: If you're seeing too many weak matches, raise the threshold. If you're missing opportunities, lower it.
Sentiment Label
Next to the score bar, you'll see a small coloured badge — Positive, Neutral, or Negative. This is what the AI believes the original poster's emotional stance is.
| Label | Colour | What It Means | Best Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positive | Green | Open to solutions, asking for recommendations | Respond with helpful suggestions |
| Neutral | Yellow | Researching, informational | Be informative and genuine |
| Negative | Red | Frustrated, complaining | Empathise first, offer help without hard selling |
Sentiment is a quick triage tool. Positive and Neutral posts are generally easier wins — but a Negative post handled with empathy can build real trust.
Match Reason
Right below the post title, you'll see a line in italics: "Match: …". This is the AI's explanation of why this post was flagged as relevant to your Interest.
It's useful for two things:
- Quick context — you can understand the post's relevance without reading the full body.
- Tuning your Interests — if the match reasons consistently feel off, your "What I'm looking for" description probably needs a tweak.
Interest Tags
At the top of each card, you'll see one or more coloured chips with Interest names. If a post matched multiple of your Interests, up to four are shown — click +N to expand the full list. Each Interest has its own colour so you can instantly see which of your profiles matched.
You can filter the entire feed by Interest using the buttons at the top of the page.
Post Body Preview
Below the match reason, you'll see a preview of the Reddit post body. If the post is long, it's truncated with a "Show more" toggle — click it to expand the full text without leaving the feed.
AI Draft
If the post scored high enough and your Interest includes a "What to show in the draft" description, the card includes an expandable AI Draft section. Click the button to expand it, read the suggested reply, and use the Copy draft button to grab it for editing.
We'll go deep into drafts in the next tutorial — for now, just know they're there.
Unread Highlights
New posts that you haven't looked at yet are highlighted with a warm, soft background so they stand out from the rest of the feed. As soon as a card enters your view (or you click it), it's marked as read and the highlight fades away.
It's a subtle but effective way to see at a glance what's new after each scan — without having to remember where you left off.
Filtering Your Feed
The top bar of the feed gives you several filters:
Filter by Interest
Click any Interest name button at the top to show only posts from that Interest. Click All to clear the filter.
Filter by Sentiment
Click the Sentiment dropdown to show only Positive, Neutral, or Negative posts. Useful when you want to focus on receptive conversations or prioritise the friendliest opportunities.
The Count Label
Between the filters and the menu, you'll see something like "8 of 24 topics" — that's how many posts currently match your filters out of the total in your feed. It updates live as you toggle filters.
Bulk Actions
Click the ⋮ menu button (top-right when posts are visible) to reveal bulk actions:
| Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Bookmark all | Saves every currently visible post for later |
| Resolve all | Marks every visible post as done |
| Dismiss all | Hides every visible post from the feed |
Useful when you've filtered down to a specific Interest or sentiment and want to clear the lot in one go. A confirmation dialog appears before anything happens.
Understanding the "No Match" States
Your feed might show one of three empty states:
| State | What You See | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Scanning | A spinner with "Searching Reddit and analyzing with AI…" | A scan is running — give it a minute |
| Filtered out | "No topics match this filter." | You have matches, but your current filters hide them — try Broadening or clearing filters |
| Empty feed | "No topics yet" with a scan prompt | No matches at all yet — click "Scan now" in the sidebar, or lower your threshold |
Common Feed Issues
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Too many low-scoring posts | Threshold is too low | Raise it in Settings → AI Analysis |
| Not enough matches | Threshold too high, or keywords too narrow | Lower the threshold or broaden your keywords |
| Irrelevant matches keep appearing | No exclusions in search rules | Add "must-not-contain" keywords to your Interest |
| Same posts appearing again | Posts aren't actioned yet | Bookmark or dismiss them to clear them from the feed |
| Posts show up but score seems wrong | AI description may be too vague | Refine your "What I'm looking for" description |
What's Next
You know how to read your feed, use the filters, and understand every number on a card. Next up: the drafts themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why don't I see any posts in my feed even though my scan found results?
Your relevance threshold filters out low-scoring posts. If it's set to 6 (the default), only posts scoring 60 or above appear in the feed. Try lowering the threshold in Settings → AI Analysis, or check whether your Interest filters or sentiment filters are hiding posts. The count label at the top ("8 of 24 topics") tells you how many are hidden.
2. The relevance scores seem wrong — some high-score posts don't look relevant.
The score is the AI's best judgement based on your "What I'm looking for" description. If the AI is consistently over- or under-rating posts, your description is probably too vague or too broad. Try making it more specific — mention the exact problem you solve and who you're looking for.
3. How do I get rid of the warm highlight on new posts?
That's the unread indicator — it appears on posts you haven't looked at yet. It clears automatically as soon as the card scrolls into view or you click it. There's no setting to disable it; it exists to help you spot what's new after each scan.
4. Can I see posts I've already dismissed or bookmarked?
Dismissed and bookmarked posts leave the feed, but they're still in your History. Go to History in the sidebar, then check the Actions tab to browse them — dismissed, bookmarked, and resolved posts all live there, with the option to restore any of them.
5. Why does a post show multiple Interest tags?
A single Reddit post can match more than one of your Interests. Engaggit analyses it against every active Interest and displays all matches on the card. You can filter the feed by a specific Interest to focus on one at a time.
6. What does the "Match:" line actually mean?
It's a short explanation the AI wrote describing why this post was flagged as relevant to your Interest. Read it — it's usually enough context to decide whether the post is worth your time without reading the full body.
7. Can I change the relevance threshold without editing my Interests?
Yes. The threshold is a global setting — go to Settings → AI Analysis and adjust the slider. Lower it to see more posts (including borderline matches), raise it to see only the strongest ones. Your Interests stay unchanged.
