I like Twitter because it is real-time. I don't like auto-sharing and I know big power users like @khanoisseur and @garyvee feel the same.
Why put out content if you are not there to engage with any response? To me, that's just a way to try and get more followers, in-authentically.
Similar scenario for auto-replies, I'm not sure what the big benefit would be for doing this. It's still in-authentic. As ryan said, an AFT (Away From Twitter) feature would be a cool one. But then there could always just be a green/grey dot to show online or not (like in FB messenger/Sack etc)
On the homepage I'd suggest having a video or screenshots of how it looks in action before asking to sign up. I'd be less inclined to do so without seeing it.
@bentossell@khanoisseur@garyvee - thanks for the comments Ben. The auto reply tool is being used by our clients at brndstr.com all the time and PowerPack is a self serve product to allow people who are in this space to easily create their own. We have already seen a few cool auto replies being created and it has similar possibilities that Assist has but on Twitter. The product is still only accessible via code so we can gather feedback and the AFT and details on homepage are in the works and will be added soon. Appreciate the comments though 👍
@hudson No problem. I've no doubt that people are using them, but my personal opinion is that I don't see why auto-replies on Twitter are used. Like I said, I think they are in-authentic (its pretty obvious) and often sent when you are not around to reply. Same can be said for buffer-style products that let you schedule posts. I just don't see the point.
Useful, although I'd love to be able to auto-respond to every tweet that @mentions me (only once every X days or for all time) when I'm OOO. Any way to support this, @hudson?
if you would simply show something that the tool actually does before authorizing my account you might have a better chance at convincing folks ... you say "YOUR AUTO REPLY TOOLKIT" but it does not show what it does exactly ... without the need to sign up
@razvan_gavrilas Agreed, I may be thick but I am not sure I understand the idea. Does it autorespond to mentions, DMs, or just hashtags and emojis based on a query?
@razvan_gavrilas - thanks for the comments Razvan, we agree and have more details being added soon - the product is only open to people with activation codes to we can get feedback and improve prior to official launch. Appreciate the thoughts though.
Introducing PowerPack for Twitter. We just launched the platform that allows you to easily create Emoji or #Tag Auto Replies on Twitter. Use code MEOW2016 for a special Product Hunt activation plan!
Automating replies? How are you getting around the breach of Twitter ToS? (edit: Just realised this is 8 months old...confused why I got a notification for this!)
Tons of potential for content delivery here (think b2b sales); promo codes for b2c, etc. I'm thinking about it not as a way to automate my voice but as a way to automate the delivery of "things and stuff" to tweeps who respond to my client's tweets.
@kkdub - hey Kelly you are 100% right. PowerPack was born after we helped brands such as McDonalds, UBER and Nestle send gift codes or vouchers simply by tweeting a hashtag or emoji. PowerPack can easily be used by brands to create their own cool campaigns. We are excited to see what creative ideas people can come up with 👍🚀
@hudson I really like this. I can see this being a great way to create invisible apps. cc: @rrhoover I think there is huge value from auto replies as long as they are crafted correctly. best way to reach out to ask a few more questions @hudson ?
@abe_storey@rrhoover - Hey Abe, you are correct in that Auto Replies used correctly have huge benefits to people - just like when we ship the OOO for Mr H. Find me on Twitter @hudson and we can chat via DM. 👍
@tribaling - Hi Ella, we find people like to use it for Linkedin Biz Cards. If you Tweet @Hudson and include 📞you will get an auto reply with my details. It allows people to create instant auto responders easily
@dennishegstad - hey man. Yeah this is where the product is super powerful. We have a few brands experimenting with #help and #contact. I will chat to @rrhoover about have #tech etc for @producthunt. It also works really well for daily deals and offers. Just tweeting @brand and #offers is a great way to engage 👍👊
There wasn't anything on the home page to indicate how it works, but I personally think auto replies (no matter how they're are done) make the user look clueless. If anyone scrolls your tweets & replies tab, it's pretty easy to see you're using a bot. And there are only so many variations you could dream up, in an attempt to look authentic.
