Overview The AI Post & Reply Writing Assistant brings AI-powered writing directly into your ShaunSocial community. It helps members create engaging posts and respond to comments in seconds — no blank-page anxiety, no struggling for the right words. With one plugin you get two connected tools: an AI Post Writing Assistant that turns a short idea into a polished, ready-to-share post, and an AI Comment & Reply Assistant that drafts context-aware replies to any comment. Members stay in full control — the AI suggests, they edit and publish. More posting. Faster replies. Higher-quality conversations. All without your members ever leaving the feed. Why Your Community Needs It Every community lives or dies by activity. But most members read far more than they post — often because writing feels like work. The blank compose box is intimidating, and replying thoughtfully to every comment takes time few people have. The AI Writing Assistant removes that friction. It lowers the barrier to creating content and keeps conversations flowing, so your feed stays active and your most engaged members — including creators — spend less time typing and more time connecting. Break the \"blank page\" barrier so hesitant members start posting Keep conversations alive with fast, relevant replies Raise the quality bar with well-structured, well-formatted content Boost engagement across posts, comments, and replies Two Assistants, One Plugin ✍️ AI Post Writing Assistant Members provide a basic idea or a short prompt, and the assistant generates a well-structured, engaging post draft they can adjust and publish in a single click. How it works: The member enters a short idea or topic. The AI generates a well-structured post draft. The member edits, refines, or customizes the content. With one click, the post is shared to the feed. What members get: Fast, easy content creation from just a rough idea Better structure and formatting out of the box A gentle nudge to post more often Zero blank-page friction 💬 AI Comment & Reply Assistant When a member wants to respond to a comment, the assistant reads the surrounding context and suggests a relevant, well-written reply — ready to send or tweak first. How it works: The member clicks \"AI Reply\" on a comment. The AI analyzes the original post and the specific comment. The AI suggests a relevant, well-structured reply. The member edits, refines, or posts the reply instantly. What members get: Context-aware replies that account for both the post and the comment Tone options — friendly, professional, casual, and more Assist, not replace — members keep full control of the final reply Faster responses that keep discussions active Key Benefits at a Glance For Members For Your Community Write posts in seconds from a simple idea More content created, more often Reply to comments without the effort Livelier, more active conversations Choose the tone that fits the moment Higher-quality, better-structured content Stay in control — edit before publishing Stronger engagement and retention Full Admin Control You decide exactly how the AI Writing Assistant behaves on your site — from which tools are active, to which AI provider powers them, to how much each member can generate per day. Everything is managed from the admin panel, with no code required. ⚙️ Plugin Settings Configure the assistant globally from AdminCP → Plugins → AI Post & Reply Writing Assistant: Enable / disable each assistant independently — turn the AI Post Writing Assistant and the AI Comment & Reply Assistant on or off separately, so you can run one, both, or neither. Choose an AI provider per assistant — select which AI provider powers the post assistant and the reply assistant individually, giving you full flexibility over cost and output style. Manage available tones — define the list of tones members can choose from (friendly, professional, casual, and any others you want to offer). Set a character limit per draft — cap the maximum number of characters the assistant may generate in a single draft, configured separately for post output and comment/reply output. Set to 0 for no cap. 🔐 Role Settings Control access and usage per user role from the role management system — the key to turning AI usage into a subscription perk: Allow AI Post Writing Assistant — toggle on/off for each user role. Allow AI Comment & Reply Assistant — toggle on/off for each user role. Maximum AI Assistant generations per day (shared) — set a shared daily generation limit for each role. Set to 0 for unlimited. Because each subscription package links to a role, you can tie AI usage directly to your membership tiers: Give your free role a small number of daily generations as a taste of the feature. Give paid packages a higher (or unlimited) daily allowance. Let members upgrade to unlock more AI writing power — turning the assistant into a built-in reason to subscribe. 💡 Turn AI into recurring revenue. Pair generous limits with your premium tiers and a modest free allowance, and the AI Writing Assistant becomes both an engagement driver and a monetization lever. Frequently Asked Questions Does the AI post automatically on a member\'s behalf? No. The assistant only suggests content. Members always review, edit, and choose to publish — nothing is posted without their action. Can members control the tone of replies? Yes. The Comment & Reply Assistant supports multiple tones — friendly, professional, casual, and more — so responses match the member\'s voice and the moment. Does it understand the context of a conversation? Yes. For replies, the assistant analyzes both the original post and the specific comment before suggesting a response, so drafts stay relevant. Do members have to use it? Not at all. The assistant is there when they want it and stays out of the way when they don\'t. It\'s designed to assist, never to replace the member\'s own voice. Can I limit how much members use the AI? Yes. You can set a maximum number of AI generations per day for each user role (0 = unlimited), and cap the character length of each draft. Because subscription packages link to roles, you can give free members a small daily allowance and paid members a larger one. Can I use different AI providers for posts and replies? Yes. The Post Writing Assistant and the Comment & Reply Assistant each have their own provider setting, so you can mix and match based on cost and output style. Can I run just one of the two assistants? Absolutely. Each assistant can be enabled or disabled independently from the plugin settings. How do I install it? Upload the plugin package through the ShaunSocial Plugin Manager (AdminCP → Plugins → Manage), then clear the global cache. That\'s it.
