How to use DuckyHelper in X (Twitter)
On X the hard part is the pile: dozens of replies to read, a thread to write, a post to time. Ask about the page on your screen and DuckyHelper tells you the gist and circles the repeated points. You can also hand it the thread, the scheduling or draft answers (Early access), and it's built to ask before anything posts.
Get the gist of the replies
“What are people saying in the replies, in a sentence?”
- 01Open your post so the replies are on screen.
- 02Ask out loud. DuckyHelper reads the replies that are showing.
- 03It circles the points that repeat and says them in one sentence.
- 04Ask which reply is worth answering first and it picks one and says why.
You getWhat people want, in a sentence, without reading every reply.
Two points repeat: people ask about Linux support, and people ask whether there is a free plan.

Draft answers to questions
“When a reply asks us a question, draft an answer for my OK”

Questions about X (Twitter).
Do I need to connect my X account?
No. There is nothing to connect. It reads what is on your screen while the pill is open. Jobs (Early access) use X in your browser, signed in as you, and it's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
Can it post without asking me?
It's built to ask first: every post, thread and scheduled post shows with its words and a button to confirm, plus Edit and Deny and waits for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money.
Will this get me more followers?
It makes writing and answering quicker. It does not promise reach or followers.
Does it work in the X phone app?
No. DuckyHelper is an app for Mac, Windows and Linux, so it works with X in a computer's browser.
