# Reply to your reviews with AI drafting

Reviews · about 3 min · updated Aug 2026

When a customer leaves feedback, a thoughtful reply goes a long way — but a blank text box at the end of a busy day doesn't. Stacks can write the first draft for you: click **Draft with AI** and you get a warm, on-brand response tuned to how the customer felt. You review it, tweak it, and send it yourself. Stacks never posts or sends anything automatically.

## Before you start

- You'll need the **Reviews** module, which is on by default — every Stacks plan includes it.
- You need **feedback to reply to.** Feedback shows up under Reviews once a customer answers a review request with a rating and (optionally) a comment. Haven't sent any yet? Start with *Request a review*.
- You need permission to **send and resolve reviews** — **admins, managers and team members** have it. View-only users can read feedback but can't draft replies.
- AI drafting uses workspace credits. Free includes 50 one-time credits and AI Pro has a separate monthly pool. Review every draft; Stacks does not post it to Google for you.
- Optional but recommended: set your **Business name** in Reviews → Settings, so the draft speaks for the right business.

## Step by step

1. **Open your feedback.** In Stacks, go to **Reviews** and open **Responses** — the running list of the private feedback customers have left. (Your Reviews dashboard also shows the most recent feedback under *Recent Private Feedback*.)
2. **Open the feedback you want to reply to.** Open a single piece of feedback to see the full comment, the customer's details, and the **Reply to this customer** panel.
3. **Click "Draft with AI."** Stacks reads the sentiment (happy, okay or unhappy) and what the customer wrote, then writes a short first draft: a genuine thank-you for happy feedback, or a sincere apology and an offer to make it right when someone's unhappy. It greets the customer by first name when it knows it.
4. **Review and edit.** The draft drops into an editable box — adjust the wording so it sounds like you. Not quite right? Click **Regenerate** for a fresh take (that uses another AI credit).
5. **Copy it and send it yourself.** Click **Copy** to put the reply on your clipboard, then paste it into your email — or wherever you talk to that customer — and send it. Stacks writes the words; you stay in control of what actually goes out.

💡

**Free and AI Pro credits.** Reading feedback and marking it resolved are free. Each AI draft or regenerate uses one credit. Free starts with 50 one-time workspace credits; AI Pro has a separate 50-credit monthly pool. Returning to Free preserves its unused original credits and never refills them.

## Good to know

- **Nothing is sent automatically.** Stacks only writes the draft — you always review, edit, copy, and send it yourself. That's a deliberate, permanent guardrail.
- **Short and on-brand.** Drafts run two to four sentences and stay warm and professional, so they read like a person, not a form letter.
- **No overpromising.** By design the AI won't invent details and won't promise refunds or discounts — if you want to offer something specific, you add it while editing.
- **Only what it needs.** The draft is built from your business name, the customer's first name, the sentiment, and their written feedback — nothing else about your account leaves the platform.
- **Close the loop.** For *okay* or *unhappy* feedback you can **Mark as Resolved** once you've followed up, so your team knows it's handled — and **Re-open** it if it flares back up.

## Frequently asked

Does Stacks send the reply to the customer for me?

No. Stacks writes a draft and puts it on your clipboard when you click **Copy**. You send it yourself, through your own email or channel — nothing is ever posted or emailed automatically.

Is this for my Google reviews?

This drafts replies to the **private feedback** customers leave through your Stacks review requests, so you can follow up one-to-one. It isn't a tool for posting public replies on Google.

How many replies can I draft?

AI Pro includes **50 AI credits per calendar month**, shared across every AI feature in Stacks. Each draft or regenerate uses one credit, and the credits reset on the 1st.
