I like the idea and its possible just by using Hive comments (which is how "threads" work), but if you are referring exclusively "threads" that are visible on #inleo interface, then the normal Hive API will not work unless Kahl has some sort of server people can use that I don't know about. This is because threads on #inleo only show if posted via the inleo interface.
Other frontends use the Hive API normally so, if you broadcast comments, you will be showing on others too.
You can also probably do this via beem (install it on linux with pip install beem).
Let me know more, or chat with me via other methods if you wish. :P
I probably don't have lots of time to help you implement this, but I can keep helping you progressively (as I can).
thank you! I certainly will be in touch just trying to play around with agents. I hope I can build something that works.
Just alone trying will be worth it, you will see.
You know I will have more than pleasure to help on these things.
