AI DM Auto-Responder: Complete Setup Guide

3 Modes Explained

Suggest Mode (Recommended for Beginners)

AI generates response suggestions that go into your approval queue. You review each one and choose to:

• Approve — Send as-is
• Edit + Send — Modify the response before sending
• Reject — Discard the suggestion

Auto Mode (For High-Volume Creators)

AI responds automatically with a random delay (30-120 seconds by default). Every response is still logged so you can review quality.

Hybrid Mode (Best of Both)

Auto-responds to simple messages (greetings, small talk) but queues complex ones (explicit, personal, upsell) for your approval. Configure which categories are auto vs. manual.

Configuration Tips

Tone Settings

Choose from: friendly, flirty, professional, casual. This shapes how the AI writes — a flirty tone uses more emojis and playful language, while professional keeps it business-like.

Boundaries

Write clear instructions about what the AI should never say. Example: "Never share personal contact info, never agree to meet in person, never discuss other creators."

Emoji Usage

• None — Clean, professional messages
• Minimal — One emoji per message max
• Moderate — Natural emoji usage (recommended)
• Heavy — Lots of emojis for a bubbly personality

Upsell Frequency

Set how often the AI subtly promotes your content. Every 5 messages is a good default. The AI will naturally suggest exclusive content, tips, or subscriptions without being pushy.

Managing the Approval Queue

Navigate to AI DM → Queue tab to see pending responses. Each item shows:

• The fan's original message
• Message category (greeting, small talk, explicit, etc.)
• AI's suggested response
• Whether it's an upsell message

Process items quickly with Approve/Edit/Reject buttons.

Best Practices

1. Start with Suggest mode until you're comfortable with the AI's responses

2. Set clear boundaries from day one

3. Review the queue daily — fans expect timely responses

4. Monitor Stats tab to track auto/approved/rejected ratios

5. Adjust tone and response length based on your audience
