Comment Forge
Generate Reddit-native comments that sound like a real person wrote them. Powered by a real Reddit comment corpus and a 7-dimension QA pipeline that catches AI fingerprints.
What It Does
Feed it a post title, body, and existing comments. Get back a natural reply that:
- Matches the thread tone using corpus-informed few-shot prompting
- Passes AI detection via 7-dimension QA scoring (naturalness, value, subtlety, tone, detection risk, length, AI fingerprint)
- Strips AI tells with deterministic anti-AI cleaning (em-dashes, smart quotes, 50+ AI vocabulary swaps)
- Adds subtle humanness with smart typo injection (40% chance, max 1 per draft, never on product names)
Two Modes
Value-First: Pure tactical advice. No product mention. Great for building karma and credibility.
Product-Drop: Mention a product naturally in the reply. Auto-fit scoring determines if the product fits the thread (1-10 score). If it doesn't fit naturally, falls back to value-first.
Pipeline
- Corpus Sampling - Stratified, score-weighted real Reddit comment examples
- Fit Scoring - Classify thread intent, recommend mode (optional, for product-drop)
- Draft Generation - Corpus-informed few-shot prompting via Gemini or OpenRouter
- QA Pipeline - Score, revise, re-score loop (3 attempts for product-drop, 7 for value-first)
- Anti-AI Cleaning - Deterministic post-processing strips AI vocabulary, em-dashes, smart quotes
- Human Touch - Smart typo injection for believable imperfections
