Use mobile web to prove that Android users want AI reply drafts. Use Android keyboard to remove copy-paste friction after that proof exists.
Workflow decision
Android keyboard vs mobile web for AI replies
Mobile web should validate the Android AI reply workflow first, then Android ReplyPilot Keyboard should improve the native app experience. Mobile web is faster and safer for early proof, while Android keyboard is better for frequent X app replies once entitlement, quota, privacy, and abuse controls are stable.

Options
What each path is best for

Comparison
Decision criteria
First launch risk
Mobile web
It avoids keyboard permissions and native release work while the product is still learning.
Composer proximity
Android keyboard
The keyboard can appear inside the native X reply field where users already type.
Account reuse
Tie
Both should use one TypeToSell account, subscription, entitlement API, and daily quota.
Support burden
Mobile web
A web flow is easier to debug and adjust than a native keyboard while demand is uncertain.
Power-user experience
Android keyboard
Frequent mobile sellers may prefer drafting without leaving the composer.
Rollout advice
Recommended sequence
Step 1
Validate on web
Confirm Android users generate, copy, edit, and manually post drafts from the mobile web flow.
Step 2
Harden gates
Make login, billing, quota, rate limits, and admin revoke flows reliable before keyboard work.
Step 3
Ship keyboard beta
Limit the first Android keyboard to draft insertion and rewriting, not automatic social actions.

Why not skip mobile web and build Android keyboard immediately?
Skipping mobile web adds native complexity before the team knows whether mobile reply drafting activates and converts.
Should Android keyboard store social posts?
