Where do AI tool users hang out online?
An engineer pastes the same prompt into three chatbots and gets three confident, different answers. He is tired of demos. AI rooms are full of people who have been burned by hype, so the post that lands names the model, says what data stays private, and admits where it fails.
That scene is a composite, not a real person. The rooms below are real, picked by hand, and nobody paid to be on this list.
The rooms where AI tool users already talk
- r/LocalLLaMA: If it runs locally or is model-agnostic.
- r/ChatGPT: Busy; useful prompts beat ads.
- r/MachineLearning: Research tone only.
- Hugging Face Forums: Model and app builders; say what runs where and what fails.
- OpenAI Developer Community: Builders shipping on OpenAI APIs; technical posts only.
Rules change. Read each sidebar before you post, and check whether self-promotion is allowed at all.
How to post there without getting removed
Say what model, what data stays private, and what fails. Hype dies here fast.
- Write a post that is useful even if nobody clicks your link.
- Say plainly that you are the maker. People forgive a builder; they do not forgive a disguise.
- Stay for an hour and answer every reply. The comments are where the first users come from.
- Post in one room, learn, then adapt the words for the next. The same text pasted into three rooms reads as spam in all three.
Your next two moves
Run the finder on your own app →
The finder matches your one-line description against every niche map, then gives you a checklist, a share link and a fill-in-the-blanks first post written for r/LocalLLaMA.
Then find AI tool users on X: seven saved searches that catch people describing the problem right now, built for the word chatgpt. Change it to your own.
Builder rooms, for feedback rather than customers
- r/SideProject: Best default builder room for "I made this."
- r/indiehackers: Solo founders; revenue and lessons beat polish.
- r/alphaandbetausers: Ask for specific testers and say what they get.
- r/roastmystartup: Cheap, blunt landing-page critique.
Builders give great critique and rarely pay. Use these for testers, then go back to the rooms above. More in Best subreddits to launch a SaaS.
