Generate comment

Steps:

Scroll and find post with text
Click Generate comment
Novalya instantly generates comment based on post text

Generation takes 1-2 seconds maximum. Comment appears directly in comment field.

Validate, modify or regenerate

3 options after generation

Once comment is generated, you have 3 possibilities:

Option 1: Publish comment

Comment suits you
Click "Publish" or "Send"
Comment is published immediately

Option 2: Modify comment

Comment is almost perfect
Modify text directly in field
Publish modified version

Option 3: Regenerate

Comment doesn't suit you
Click "Generate comment" again
New comment is created

Warning: Each generation consumes 1 credit, even if you don't publish. Regenerate 3 times = 3 credits consumed.

If post has no text

Mandatory condition

To generate comment, post must contain enough text.

If post has no text:

Novalya may display error message
"Cannot generate comment (not enough text)"
You can skip to next post

Incompatible post types:

Photos without caption
Videos without description
Posts with only 1-2 words

AI relies only on text. More text in post, better the generated comment.

Manual mode best practices

Optimize your usage

Start gradually:

First week: 10-15 comments/day
Test your settings (language, style, length)
Validate quality of generated comments

Choose right posts:

Posts with substantial text
Topics consistent with your activity
Recent publications

Avoid credit waste:

Adjust your settings before starting
Don't regenerate systematically
Rather modify than regenerate if almost good

Personalization

When to modify comment:

Add personal touch
Specific context reference
Adapt to your exact tone

When to regenerate:

Comment off-topic
Inappropriate tone
Inappropriate length

In manual mode, you keep total control. Take time to validate each comment is relevant before publishing.

Credits consumed

How it works

Important to remember:

1 generation = 1 credit consumed
Publish or not = no impact
Modify = no additional credit
Regenerate = 1 additional credit

Example:

Generate: 1 credit
Manually modify text: 0 credit
Publish: 0 credit
Total: 1 credit

Other example:

Generate: 1 credit
Not convinced, regenerate: 1 credit
Still not convinced, regenerate: 1 credit
Finally publish: 0 credit
Total: 3 credits

Check remaining credits:

Visible on Novalya dashboard
Monthly quota according to your plan

If you run out of credits:

Upgrade your plan
Or buy additional credits as add-on: https://app.novalya.com/upgrade
