Everything you need to turn Reddit and other communities into a searchable, agent-ready dataset — whether you work from the dashboard, over MCP, or through the REST API.

What's New

Keyword Monitor — search all of Reddit

Keyword tracking is now available to everyone on the new Keyword Monitor page: each keyword searches all of Reddit once a day and keeps filling your Dataset with the newest matches. The trial includes 3 keywords; the paid plan includes 20, separate from your Watchers. Learn more →

Get the most from Prowlo with Claude Cowork

Prowlo does the heavy lifting of crawling your watched communities, embedding every record, and serving them as clean, typed data. The real power comes when you pair that dataset with an AI assistant that can query and reason over it.

Claude Cowork is a great way to use Prowlo. When connected over MCP, Claude can search your Dataset by meaning, pull records and comment threads, and manage your Watchers, keywords, alerts, and trends — all from chat.

Read-only by design — Prowlo never posts, comments, or votes. Claude reads your Dataset and helps you decide what matters; any action you take stays in your hands.
Search & manage conversationally — search your Dataset semantically or by keyword, and list, add, or pause Watchers, keywords, and alerts just by asking.
Classify on the way out — Claude reads the full post and comment thread and triages each record against your own criteria, so you focus on the conversations that actually fit.
