Managing Unreads

Whisper gives you two ways to handle unread messages in bulk: /unreads for automatic processing and /review for manual approval. Both rank conversations by conversion opportunity so you work on the most valuable chats first.

/unreads (Automatic)

Type /unreads at the > prompt. Whisper will:

1. Fetch all your unread conversations
2. Score each one by conversion probability
3. Show you a ranked list
4. Process each conversation automatically, sending replies without asking

Scoring unreads...

1. @alice (12345) — 87% ↑ — ENGAGE
2. @bob (67890) — 62% → — NURTURE
3. @charlie (11111) — 34% ↓ — MONITOR

Processing 3 unread conversations...

Each subscriber's conversation is read, the AI drafts a response based on context, and the message is sent.

When it's done:

Finished processing 3 unread conversations.

Use /unreads when you trust Whisper's drafts and want speed.

/review (Manual Approval)

Type /review at the > prompt. This works like /unreads but with a key difference: you approve every message before it goes out.

For each unread conversation, Whisper shows you the draft and asks what to do:

@alice (12345) — 87% ↑ — ENGAGE

Draft: hey gorgeous 💕 I was just thinking about you! did you see
my new beach photos? I think you'd love them...

[S]end / [E]dit / [Skip] / [Q]uit >

Your options:

• S (Send): Send the draft as-is
• E (Edit): Edit the message before sending. Whisper shows you a prompt where you can type a replacement
• Skip (press Enter): Skip this subscriber, move to the next
• Q (Quit): Stop reviewing and go back to the prompt

When you're done, you'll see a summary:

Total: 3 | Sent: 2 | Edited: 1 | Skipped: 0

Style Learning

Here's something important: every time you edit a draft in /review, Whisper learns from it.

If the AI writes "hey babe" and you change it to "hey gorgeous," Whisper notes the correction. After about 5 edits, it starts auto-generating style rules based on your patterns. After 20 or so, it writes in your voice.

This is why /review is so valuable early on. You're not just approving messages. You're training Whisper to sound like you.

Invest in your first few sessions

The more you edit in the beginning, the less you'll need to edit later. Those first 10-20 edits set the foundation for Whisper's understanding of your voice.

Understanding the Scores

Each conversation gets a score and a trend arrow:

Score	What it means
80%+	High opportunity. This subscriber is likely ready to buy.
50-79%	Moderate opportunity. Worth engaging, could go either way.
Below 50%	Lower opportunity right now. Still worth a reply, just not the priority.

The trend arrows:

Arrow	What it means
↑	Trending up. Engagement is increasing.
→	Flat. Holding steady.
↓	Trending down. Interest may be fading.

The action tag (ENGAGE, NURTURE, MONITOR) is a suggested approach based on the score and conversation state.

Which Should I Use?

Start with /review when you're new. This lets you see what Whisper drafts, correct it when needed, and build up the style learning. Once you're consistently hitting "Send" without editing, you're ready for /unreads.

Use /unreads when you trust the drafts and want to process messages quickly without reviewing each one.

Use Auto Mode when you want Whisper to handle unreads continuously without you being there at all.

The recommended progression is: /review first, then /unreads, then --auto. See Best Practices for more on this.
