AI Public Comment Replies
Writing four public replies by hand is fine. Writing enough of them that a busy post never repeats itself is not — which is where the AI tab comes in.
Instead of a list of replies, you give LinktoDM a prompt. Every comment that fires the automation gets its own reply, written on the spot from that prompt and the comment it’s answering.
Setting it up
Section titled “Setting it up”In the Public comment reply card, switch the toggle on and pick AI — it’s the recommended tab.
Writing the prompt
Section titled “Writing the prompt”The prompt is a description of what the reply should do and how it should sound, not the reply itself. The default is a good shape to copy:
Thank
{{username}}for commenting and let them know a special link is waiting in their DMs, with a friendly, cheerful tone.
Three things make a prompt work:
- The job. Point them to their DMs, thank them, answer the question — say which.
- The tone. “Friendly and cheerful”, “short and dry”, “warm, no emojis”. The AI will otherwise default to a brightness that may not be yours.
{{username}}where you want the commenter’s handle.
You have 400 characters, and the counter under the box tracks them.
Regenerate prompt rewrites the prompt itself — useful when you know roughly what you want but not how to phrase it. Show preview renders sample replies so you can hear the tone before anyone else does.
AI or manual?
Section titled “AI or manual?”Use AI when comment volume is high or unpredictable, when comments are actual questions rather than a keyword, or when you want the section to look genuinely conversational.
Use manual when the reply must be exact — a legal phrase, a promo code, a specific instruction — or when you’d rather approve every sentence your account posts in public.
The per-post cap in the card header applies here exactly as it does to manual replies: once it’s reached, public replies stop and DMs carry on.
