How DM replies differ from post replies
For anyone who has used Riff on posts and wants to know what changes in a chat. The dials, Voice and Library all still apply; a few things change.
| In a DM | What Riff does |
|---|---|
| Your point is optional | The box says Optional. Leave it empty and Riff works out the reply from the conversation, or add what you want to say. Empty: it answers what they said or asked. Filled: it says your thing in reply to theirs. |
| It answers first | Whatever their latest message asks gets answered before anything else, so it's clear you read it. |
| It never decides for you | If they ask for a time, a price or a yes or no, Riff asks a short question back or lets them suggest one, instead of committing you. |
| Greeting and sign-off | A first-name greeting only when the conversation is new, none mid-conversation, and never a sign-off or a signature. |
| It matches them | Their length, their formality and whether they use emoji. Plain text, no lists, no headings. |
| It sticks to what's on screen | Riff never invents facts, numbers, plans or anything "said earlier" that isn't in the visible conversation. |
| You wrote last | Riff writes a friendly follow-up instead of an answer Nudge someone who hasn't answered. |
What Riff reads: the visible messages of that one conversation, who it's with (their name, plus the headline on LinkedIn and the username on Instagram) and which messages are yours. It keeps them only for that tab's session and sends nothing anywhere What stays on your device.
