Common questions
How many reply variations do I need to write?
Three or four is enough for the repetition to disappear. Each matching comment gets one of them at random, and AI rewrite can produce the extra versions from the first one you write.
Does AI rewrite add facts that I did not write?
No. AI rewrite produces another version of what you wrote, in the same voice, keeping the facts. You can edit the result before saving, and everything you save is what goes out.
Will two people who leave the same comment get the same automated reply?
Not necessarily. A variation is picked at random for each matching comment, so with several variations written the replies under one post read differently.

Topic: Keyword automations

Author: https://anantgupta.xyz (Anant Gupta, founder of CommentWatchDog)
Start in the app: https://app.commentwatchdog.com/en/inbox
Result when done: A hundred people get the same answer without it looking like the same answer.
Context: One reply repeated under twenty comments reads as a robot. Variations solve it: write several versions of the same answer and one is picked at random each time. AI rewrite writes the extra versions for you.
Before you start
1. A variation is picked at random for each matching comment.
2. AI rewrite produces another version of what you wrote; it never invents facts.
3. The commenter name can be inserted, and a mention notifies them.
Steps
Step 1 of 4: Write the first reply.
Where: Reply variations, in the automation editor. Write the answer as you would send it.

Screenshot: https://commentwatchdog.com/media/shots/automation-editor-reply-phone.en.webp (The same on a phone.)
You should see: One reply, which would be sent to everyone who matches.
Step 2 of 4: Add variations.
Where: Add variation, then write another version of the same answer. Three or four is enough for the repetition to disappear.

You should see: Each matching comment gets one of them at random.
Step 3 of 4: Let AI rewrite do the rest.
Where: AI rewrite, beside a variation. It rewords what you wrote, keeping the facts, so you can produce several versions from one.

Screenshot: https://commentwatchdog.com/media/shots/automation-editor-reply-phone.en.webp (The same on a phone.)
You should see: Another version in the same voice, which you can edit before saving.
Step 4 of 4: Decide about the mention.
Where: Mention the commenter tags the person so they are notified. Useful when the reply answers a question; intrusive when it thanks someone for praise.

You should see: Replies begin with the person name and they get a notification.
