💡

Start with a lower daily cap (e.g., 50 replies) while you review the log to make sure the quality meets your standard. Increase gradually once you are satisfied.

Setup quality checklist

A reliable Reply Agent setup should be readable at a glance. If filters are too broad, the agent will waste time; if they are too narrow, you will miss good opportunities.

  1. 1Start with one niche and one tone.
  2. 2Keep your daily cap conservative until results look stable.
  3. 3Review the first few replies manually before scaling up.
