  • Adds a draft editor box on the comment edit screen

  • Customisable system instructions and tone
  • Optional: post replies as Pending by default (recommended)

What it does not do

  • Does not create fake users

Setup

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Go to Settings > AI Reply Assistant
  3. Select your AI provider
  4. Add your API key (links provided in settings)
  5. Go to Comments and click Generate AI Reply Draft

Note: All providers require API credits, which are separate from chat subscriptions. A ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro subscription does not include API access. Google Gemini offers a free tier with rate limits. Billing links are shown in the plugin settings.

How it works

When you generate a draft, the plugin sends the post title, a short excerpt, and the comment text to your selected AI provider to produce an editable reply draft. No data is sent until you explicitly click "Generate AI Reply Draft."
