genuine q for the room. do you think an AI bot can sell as well as a good human chatter on OF? my take, its unreal for the boring 80% (small talk, warmups, quick replies) but im not sold on it closing the big emotional moments a great chatter just feels. where do you land, full replacement or copilot?

ciao raga 👋 real question thats been on my mind. everyone in this space TALKS about AI and automation non stop but im curious how many of you actually run any of it day to day. for me its been a mix. some stuff i automated basically saved my life (follow ups, sorting fans, reminders for expiring subs) and some stuff i tried was pure hype and i dropped it inside a week. so im genuinely trying to work out whats real vs whats just noise. so tell me. are you using any AI or automation in how you run accounts rn? and if yes whats actually pulling its weight vs what turned out to be a waste of time? trying to learn from what works for you guys

ciao raga 👋 gonna be real with you. for the longest time i was the bottleneck in my own agency. every day was the same grind by hand. posting content on schedule, replying to fans, cleaning up and deleting old sets and expired drops, and then the actual selling on top of all that. i was doing all four myself and calling it "hustle." it was just me being a human bottleneck. then this whole AI wave hits and everyone starts talking about automating their workflows. i was skeptical honestly, figured it was hype. but i finally found a setup that quietly took those four things off my plate. posting runs on a schedule now. replies get handled. the deleting/cleanup happens on its own. even a chunk of the selling drips out without me babysitting it. the part that actually got me wasnt the money, it was the energy. i wasnt starting every day already exhausted from busywork before the real work even began. easily got 10-12 hours a week back and i think clearer now that my brain isnt holding 40 little tasks. be honest, how much of your day is still you manually posting, replying, and cleaning up? because i genuinely thought that WAS the job until it wasnt.

ciao raga 👋 found something on one of my accounts last week that genuinely rattled me. my single biggest active fan was already set to disappear and nothing i could see would have told me. heres the deal. on OF a sub either auto-renews or it doesnt. rebill on, rebill off. and a fan can have rebill OFF while still messaging you every day, still buying ppvs, still acting like your best customer. this guy had dropped like $600, chatted daily, i thought he was locked in for life. he wasnt. his rebill was off, so at the end of the cycle he was just going to poof, no matter how happy he was. i only caught it by accident. the scary part isnt the one fan. its that i had no way to see, across my whole list, who was set to renew and who wasnt. so my most engaged people could be quietly on a countdown and id find out only after they were gone. once i could actually see rebill status per fan i started flagging the high spenders who had it off and getting them to flip it on early, way before the cycle ended. i keep an eye on that in onlystack now (been on their advanced plan free a while) but even a manual check of your top fans rebill setting would probably shock you. do you actually know which of your active fans have auto-renew off right now, or is that invisible to you like it was for me?

ciao raga 👋 something that quietly annoyed me once i actually looked at it. we werent losing sales because of price or content. we were losing them to the clock. heres what tipped me off. a fan messaged one of my accounts at like 11pm, clearly warm, "you up? been thinking about you 👀". prime moment to close. my chatter didnt get to it for almost 3 hours. by then the guy was asleep or bored and the convo was dead. that ppv basically sold itself if wed answered in the moment. instead, nothing. the thing nobody tracks is reply lag. everyone counts messages sent and revenue, but not how long a hot fan sat waiting. and thats the exact window where the money is. i started watching median reply time and, more useful, who's sitting unanswered right now so we hit them while theyre still warm. i keep an eye on that in onlystack these days (been on their advanced plan free a while) but even a stopwatch on your busiest hours would open your eyes. how fast does your team actually reply during peak hours? not "quick" as a vibe, an actual number if you had to guess?
