You’ll see a text field labeled “Comment prompt (optional)” - this controls the tone and style of all AI-generated comments. Write instructions like “Write casual, friendly comments in 1-2 sentences” or “Be professional and reference specific points from the post.” This is the same setting sometimes referred to as “Custom Instructions.”
12. What are safe auto-engagement limits? Start with 1-5 likes per hour and 1-3 comments per hour. OutX has built-in rate limiting, but keeping limits moderate ensures your LinkedIn activity looks natural. See our LinkedIn Safety guide for detailed recommendations.
