Comment Magnet

Create posts that drive comments

I want to create posts that generate lots of comments on [platform] in the [niche] space.

Audience: [who follows you]
Typical engagement rate: [approximate percentage]
Content format: [posts, reels, carousels, stories]
Topics that get the most comments currently: [if known]

4. A "hot take" framework for sparking respectful debate
5. Comment response templates that keep conversations going
6. A strategy for the first 30 minutes after posting (how to boost initial engagement)

الأفضل لـ: CHATGPT

ChatGPT generates the most engaging and psychologically effective comment-driving content. Its call-to-action phrases feel natural and its post concepts create genuine curiosity that people cannot resist responding to.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Reply to every comment in the first hour after posting. Tell the AI to write response templates that ask follow-up questions, turning single comments into multi-reply threads that boost your engagement signals.

Story Teller

Craft engaging personal stories

I want to use storytelling in my [platform] content to build deeper audience connection.

Niche: [your topic]
Personal experiences: [3-5 relevant stories from your life or business]
Brand personality: [how you want to come across]
Vulnerability comfort level: [how open you are willing to be]

Help me:
1. Transform each experience into a compelling social media story arc
2. A story structure template (hook, tension, lesson, call-to-action)
3. How to make personal stories relevant to my audience's problems
4. Five storytelling hooks that immediately pull readers in
5. Where to place stories in my content calendar for maximum impact
6. Boundaries framework — what to share and what to keep private

الأفضل لـ: CLAUDE

Claude crafts the most emotionally resonant stories that feel authentic rather than manufactured. It finds the universal lesson in personal experiences and helps you be vulnerable without oversharing.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Share the raw, unpolished version of your story first. The AI is better at shaping messy real experiences into compelling narratives than it is at working with already-polished versions that lose their authenticity.

Poll Architect

Design engaging polls and quizzes

I want to use polls, quizzes, and interactive content to boost engagement on [platform].

Niche: [your topic]
Audience knowledge level: [beginner/intermediate/expert]
Goal: [entertainment, education, market research, content ideas]
Platform features available: [polls, quizzes, sliders, question stickers, etc.]

Create:
1. Ten poll questions that are genuinely hard to choose between (not obvious answers)
2. A five-question quiz concept that teaches while entertaining
3. "This or That" series ideas specific to my niche
4. An interactive story sequence that reveals results based on choices
5. How to use poll results as content for future posts
6. A weekly interactive content series concept with a recurring theme

الأفضل لـ: GEMINI

Gemini creates the most balanced and genuinely engaging poll options. Its questions create real deliberation rather than obvious choices, and it designs quiz formats that are both educational and share-worthy.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Design polls where both options are equally appealing. Lopsided polls (90/10 results) kill engagement because people do not feel compelled to vote or defend their choice. The AI will balance options for maximum participation.

Community Builder

Build and nurture an online community

I want to build a thriving community around my [brand/topic] on [platform or community tool].

Current audience size: [number]
Engagement level: [low/medium/high]
Community platform: [comments section, Discord, Facebook Group, Skool, etc.]
What I want the community to do: [support each other, share wins, provide feedback, etc.]

Design:
1. A community launch plan (how to get the first 50 active members)
2. Welcome sequence for new members (onboarding experience)
3. Weekly recurring events or rituals that build habit and belonging
4. Member spotlight and recognition program
5. Rules and moderation guidelines that encourage participation
6. Engagement prompts and discussion starters for the first 30 days

الأفضل لـ: CLAUDE

Claude understands community psychology deeply. It designs welcoming onboarding experiences, creates rituals that build genuine belonging, and writes moderation guidelines that encourage participation without being heavy-handed.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Define the one emotion you want members to feel when they open the community. 'Supported,' 'inspired,' or 'challenged' lead to very different community designs, and the AI will tailor everything to that core feeling.

DM Strategist

Leverage direct messages for engagement

I want to use DMs strategically on [platform] to deepen audience relationships.

Account type: [creator, business, personal brand]
Goal: [build relationships, qualify leads, provide support, gather feedback]
Current DM volume: [how many DMs you get/send per day]
Team: [just me / have a VA / team]

Create:
1. An auto-reply or welcome DM strategy triggered by keywords or actions
2. Five conversation starter templates for reaching out to engaged followers
3. A qualification framework for sorting DMs into categories
4. Response templates for common questions that still feel personal
5. A daily DM routine (time allocation and priority order)
6. Boundaries — when to move conversations off DMs and where to direct them

الأفضل لـ: CHATGPT

ChatGPT writes the most natural-sounding DM templates that avoid the robotic feel of automated messages. Its conversation starters feel genuinely interested and its response templates maintain a personal touch at scale.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Include the person's name and reference their recent post or comment in DM outreach. The AI will create a template with merge fields that makes each message feel personally crafted even when sent to dozens of people.

UGC Activator

Encourage user-generated content

I want my audience to create and share content about my [brand/product/community].

What I offer: [product, service, course, community]
Audience size: [current followers or customers]
Platform: [primary platform]
Brand aesthetic: [what you want shared content to look and feel like]
Current UGC: [do people already share? what does it look like?]

Design:
1. A branded hashtag strategy with three hashtag options and rationale
2. Three UGC campaign concepts with clear participation instructions
3. Incentive structure (rewards, features, recognition) that motivates sharing
4. A content prompt or template that makes it easy for users to create
5. How to ask for permission and repost UGC properly
6. A system for collecting, organizing, and showcasing the best UGC

الأفضل لـ: GROK

Grok designs the most creative and shareable UGC campaign concepts. Its suggestions tap into community pride and social motivation, creating campaigns people participate in because they genuinely want to, not because of prizes.

Tested Feb 15, 2026

نصائح احترافية

Make participation effortless. The best UGC campaigns require one action (snap a photo, answer one question) not five. The AI will design campaigns with the lowest possible friction for maximum participation.

نصائح احترافية

1

Engagement is a two-way street. You cannot expect comments if you never comment on other people's posts. Ask AI to build a daily engagement routine where you interact with your audience's content, not just your own.

2

Ask specific questions, not open-ended ones. 'What is your biggest struggle with meal prep?' gets 10x more responses than 'What do you think?' Give people a clear lane to respond in, and they will.

3

Celebrate your community publicly. Feature followers, share their wins, and call out great comments. When people see that engaging with you leads to recognition, participation compounds.
