TypeToSell answer
Should indie hackers use an AI reply generator?
For indie hackers, an AI reply generator can help when build in public conversations, launch feedback, or niche community threads need faster useful replies. TypeToSell can draft options with saved product context and soft CTA judgment, but the indie hacker should edit for honesty, specificity, and manual final posting.
