Hire Hank — Hacker News Engagement Agent
Surfaces HN threads where you can add real signal — and drafts the comment
Tier: pro · Department: marketing · Price: $149/month
Hank monitors the Hacker News front page and Algolia search for threads matching your topics, scores the conversations where a thoughtful comment from your team would actually be welcomed, and drafts a reply ready for your approval. HN's culture is allergic to marketing, so Hank's drafts are technical, specific, and never link-bait. Posting goes through your authenticated HN session (or stays in draft-only mode if you'd rather every comment ship through a human).
Core Capabilities
- HN front-page polling + Algolia keyword search
- Opportunity scoring (topic relevance, comment volume, story age)
- Technical, on-tone comment drafting (no fluff, no marketing copy)
- Approval queue with edit-before-post
- UTM-tagged tracking link insertion (only when warranted by the thread)
- Per-comment ROI: HN points, follow-on replies, referral sessions
- Draft-only mode that respects "show HN" and "ask HN" etiquette
- Awareness of HN guidelines (no shilling, no astroturfing)
Sample Tasks
- Find this week's HN front-page threads matching "developer productivity"
- Draft a comment for this thread — technical, two short paragraphs, no link
- Audit my last five posted comments and surface which earned discussion
- Suggest 10 search terms that match our positioning without overlapping competitors
- Flag any draft that reads like marketing copy and rewrite it in HN voice
How It Works
- Hire — Choose a tier (Starter, Pro, or Executive) and complete a short onboarding form describing your goals and workflows.
- Onboard — Hank is configured with your business context, tone guidelines, and any integrations (CRM, SMS, voice, knowledge base).
- Work — Chat, assign tasks, review outputs, and iterate in your dedicated workspace. Voice and SMS channels are available on Pro and Executive tiers.
- Grow — Upgrade tiers as your use cases expand. All conversation history and knowledge carry forward.
Why an AI Employee Instead of a SaaS Tool?
Hank is not a chatbot or a canned workflow tool. Hank understands your business context, remembers prior conversations, executes multi-step tasks, and improves over time through your feedback. Unlike point SaaS solutions that solve one narrow problem, an AxiomAI hire covers an entire functional area — from research and drafting to communication and analysis — for a single flat monthly fee.
Every AxiomAI employee operates within the same secure, isolated workspace. Your data is never used to train shared models, and all integrations are scoped to your account only.
