This is the recommended mode for beginners and testing your settings. --- ## Configure AI Comments ### From your Novalya space (recommended) **Procedure:** 1. Open your Novalya space 2. In left menu, click **AI Comments** 3. Configure your preferences: - Language (auto-detection or fixed language) - Style (4 available presets) - Emojis (yes/no) - Length (short: 1 sentence / medium: 2 sentences) - Gender (male/female) 4. Save **Advantage:** - Complete configuration in one place - Settings automatically applied on Facebook and Instagram ### From Facebook/Instagram (quick adjustment) You can also adjust settings directly: **Procedure:** - Click **wheel ⚙️** next to "Generate comment" button - Modify your settings - Changes apply immediately [See article: How to configure AI Comments?](/en/article/how-to-configure-ai-comments-language-style-emojis-length-mplb98) --- ## Generate comment on Facebook/Instagram ### Find button **Button location:** - Under each compatible post - **In comments bar** **If button not visible:** 1. Click "Comment" under post 2. Comments bar displays 3. "Generate comment" button appears ### Generate comment **Steps:** 1. Scroll and find post with text 2. Click **Generate comment** 3. Novalya instantly generates comment based on post text 4. Comment displays in text area | 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.

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](https://app.novalya.com/upgrade) [See article: How many AI comments according to my plan?](/en/article/how-many-ai-comments-can-i-generate-according-to-my-novalya-plan-kwwsdl) --- ## Recommended workflow ### Efficient routine **Step 1: Initial configuration** - Set up your AI Comments from Novalya - Test on 3-5 posts to validate **Step 2: Commenting session** - Scroll your feed or targeted group - Identify 10-15 relevant posts with text - Generate and publish comments **Step 3: Adjustment** - Analyze quality of published comments - Adjust your settings if necessary - Test again **Step 4: Ramp up** - Gradually increase volume - 10-15 → 20-25 → 30-50 comments/day - Switch to automatic mode if desired --- ## FAQ ### Is comment published immediately?
