Review replies that sound like you, and never promise a refund

Answering every review helps you show up locally, but a careless AI reply to an angry customer can do real harm. Reviews AI agents now have controls for how they sound, what they must never say, and when to wait for you.

  • Brand voice
  • Quality guardrails
  • Hold sensitive reviews
  • Live preview

What it is

Reviews AI agents write replies to your reviews. This update adds four sets of controls to each agent, so replies stay on brand and risky ones get a human look first.

1

Brand voice

Reply as "We" or "I", set your business name, pick tone traits, cap the length, and choose a sign-off.

2

Quality guardrails

The agent can remember recent replies, avoid repeating the same opening line, and steer clear of refund promises, guarantees, admitting fault, liability statements, and medical or financial advice.

3

Hold sensitive reviews

Higher-risk reviews can wait for a person to approve the reply before anything is posted.

4

Live preview

See sample replies to a positive, neutral, and negative review before you save, and regenerate as you adjust.


Who it's for

Any business that gets steady reviews and wants every one answered without saying something it regrets.

  • Med spas & clinics
  • HVAC, plumbing & roofing
  • Real estate agents
  • Pool & junk removal
  • Multi-location businesses

Part 1 · Open your agent

    Reputation settings with Reviews AI selected in the left menu and the Reviews AI Agents table.
  2. Scroll to Reviews AI Agents and click Create Agent (or Create Starter Agents), or edit the agent you already use.

    Check in your account: The brand voice options sit in the agent's settings. Field names may differ slightly in your account.

Part 3 · Turn on the guardrails

  1. In the agent's quality guardrails, turn on the controls to remember recent responses, avoid repeating the same opening, and avoid risky language.

  2. Turn on the option to hold sensitive reviews, so higher-risk reviews wait for a person to approve the reply.

  1. Check the live preview for a positive, a neutral, and a negative review. Regenerate until it sounds right, then save.


A real-world example

A med spa with a one-star review

A med spa gets a one-star review saying a treatment didn't work and asking for money back.

Before

An auto-reply could have apologised, offered a refund, or commented on the treatment.

Guardrails

With risky-language guardrails on, the agent avoids refund promises, fault admissions, and medical advice.

Hold

With sensitive-review holds on, the reply waits for the owner to read and approve it.

Everyday

The five-star reviews still get warm, short replies right away, signed the way the owner chose.


Tips from our team

  • Pick two or three tone traits. A long list tends to produce bland replies. Warm, plain, and professional is a good start.
  • Keep positive replies short. Two or three sentences reads as real. A paragraph reads as automated.
  • Decide who approves held reviews. A held review nobody reads for a week is worse than no hold at all. Name one person.
  • Preview all three sentiments. A voice that works for a five-star review can sound off on a complaint. Check both before you save.
