In short

How do I keep up with the responses on my Medium stories?

Every morning WebRun opens Medium, collects the new responses readers left on your stories, drafts a reply to each one in your voice, queues them as Trello cards for your approval, and sends a WhatsApp summary, so comments get answered while the story is still being read.

  • Reader responses get a reply the same day, not next month
  • Every reply is written for you and waits on your approval
  • Complaints and corrections are flagged before you answer

Questions, answered

Will it post replies on Medium without me?

No. Every reply is drafted and parked on a Trello card. Nothing appears under your name on Medium until you read it and post it yourself.

Does the draft sound like me?

It matches the tone of your published stories, and you can give WebRun two or three replies you already wrote as examples to copy your voice more closely.

What about a rude or bad-faith response?

WebRun flags it on the card instead of drafting a breezy answer, so you decide whether to reply, ignore it, or handle it in Medium yourself.

Put this on autopilot.
