The automation mode decides speed. The safety classifier decides risk.

ReviewsRelay evaluates star rating, written feedback, business category, and sensitive-topic signals before anything moves into replies, posts, graphics, or summaries.

  • Safe written 5-star reviews can auto-reply in Balanced Mode and can become Google Posts or graphics
  • Rating-only 5-star reviews can receive general replies but are not used as marketing proof
  • Safe written 4-star reviews stay drafted in Balanced Mode; Full Autopilot can handle safe cases
  • 3-star and lower reviews stay in owner review with a measured draft
  • Medical, legal, safety, abuse, spam, or serious complaint language never auto-publishes
  • Marketing reuse only comes from safe written 5-star reviews

Frequently asked questions

What is Balanced Mode?

Balanced Mode is the safer default. It can auto-reply to eligible safe 5-star reviews, while 4-star, negative, sensitive, and ambiguous reviews stay drafted for approval.

What is Full Autopilot?

Full Autopilot is more permissive for teams that trust the workflow. It can handle safe written 4-star replies, but sensitive or risky reviews still stay out of automatic publishing.

Can ReviewsRelay publish sensitive replies automatically?

No. Reviews mentioning medical, legal, safety, abuse, serious service failures, or similarly sensitive topics are held for manual follow-up by default.

Can Google Posts be created from any review?

No. Posts are only generated from safe written 5-star reviews with enough detail. Rating-only, mixed, negative, and sensitive reviews stay out of marketing content.

How is this safer than pasting a review into a generic AI tool?

ReviewsRelay applies rating, review text, business type, automation mode, and public-response risk before drafting. It also connects the decision to approvals, publishing, graphics, and weekly reporting.
