# Replies and Engage (Twitter)

**In short:** the Engage tab finds tweets worth replying to and drafts a reply in your voice. You pick a tone, audenAI writes one reply, and you post it through the reply window. Replies are a paid feature.

Open **Replies** from the sidebar. On a Twitter profile you will see the **Engage** grid and an **Extension** tab. (You must have a trained voice first; an untrained profile is asked to train before replying.)

#### How Engage works

1. VoiceMoat surfaces up to five candidate tweets worth replying to.
2. For each one, pick a **tone** (or let audenAI pick) and it drafts **one** reply in your voice.
3. Edit if you want, then **post through the reply window** and mark it done.

There is one reply per generate, not a pile of variants to sift through. You get one free regenerate per tweet if the first is not right.

{% hint style="info" %}
Replies are drafted in **your own** voice, plus **Your products** (set in Voice Lab's **Teach audenAI** tab), so audenAI can mention a product of yours when a post is really about its space. Your reply length choice in **How you like it** applies too. It is not a "reply as this creator" tool; it is you, replying like you, with context.
{% endhint %}

#### How replies are written

The same writer drafts replies here, in the Chrome extension, and LinkedIn comments:

* one to three short lines, never a paragraph,
* in the post's language, including Hinglish (Hindi written in English letters) when the post is in Hinglish,
* a real reaction (a feeling, your own take, a gentle disagreement, or a real question), not a summary of the post,
* disagreement as your view or a question, never a verdict on the poster,
* no made-up facts, numbers, or stories: anything said as you comes from your own posts or your claim bank, and the other person's post is never your story.

See Chrome extension for the full list, including how it handles list posts, brand announcements, and "Comment GUIDE" posts.

#### Where candidates come from

Your Engage grid blends three sources, ranked and de-duplicated:

* your **home timeline**,
* recent posts matching your **keywords**,
* and recent posts from the **creators you track**.

Fresh candidates appear through the day, and you can **Refresh** anytime to pull more. A paid **extra pull** (40 more slots for 5 credits) is there when you want a bigger batch.

#### The two limits worth understanding

Replying touches two separate caps. They are easy to confuse, so here they are side by side:

|                                 | Free | Creator | Pro | Enterprise |
| ------------------------------- | ---- | ------- | --- | ---------- |
| **Replies per day (overall)**   | 10   | 150     | 300 | 500        |
| **Engage reply budget per day** | 0    | 30      | 70  | 100        |
| Candidate pulls per day         | 0    | 60      | 100 | 150        |
| Keyword searches                | 0    | 3       | 5   | 10         |
| Tracked creators                | 0    | 5       | 10  | 20         |

* The **overall** reply limit is your total replies a day, including those from the Chrome extension.
* The **Engage budget** is the smaller allowance specifically for replies sent from the Engage grid.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Engage budget only ticks when you **mark a reply done**. Drafting and regenerating do not spend it. Each drafted reply does cost 1 credit from your daily pool.
{% endhint %}

Free plans cannot use Engage (it is a paid feature). For replying on LinkedIn, see Replies on LinkedIn.

#### Common questions

**Why does posting open a window instead of posting directly?** Twitter replies go out through the reply window so you confirm each one. You then mark it done, which ticks your Engage budget.

**Do skips cost anything?** No. Skipping a candidate is free.

**Can I reply without opening the dashboard?** Yes. With the Chrome extension, press the audenAI mark on any post (or hover it and press **R**), pick a tone, and the draft appears in a card right under the post. **Put in reply box** opens Twitter's own reply box with the draft in it, and you press **Reply**.
