Users can choose to reply to high-quality tweets they come across while browsing X using the new AI Reply feature in Data Hunter. You will need to login with your [PublicAI Data Hub](https://beta.publicai.io/login) account before you start earning. ## Installation #### Step 1 — Install the DataHunter Chrome extension 1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing for [DataHunter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/publicai-data-hunter/icbbdjflabjciapbohkkkmaangfjaanl). 2. Click **Add to Chrome**, then confirm **Add extension** in the popup. 3. After installation, the DataHunter icon will appear in your browser toolbar. > **Tip:** If you don't see the icon, click the puzzle-piece icon in the top-right of Chrome and pin DataHunter so it's always visible. #### Step 2 — DataHub account DataHunter uses [DataHub](https://beta.publicai.io/login) to manage your identity, wallet, and rewards. **If you already have a DataHub account:** 1. Click the DataHunter icon in your toolbar. **If you don't have a DataHub account yet:** 1. Visit [DataHub](https://beta.publicai.io/login). 2. Create your account using email or wallet. **Make sure to bind your X account**. 3. Return to the DataHunter extension and sign in. You'll need both the extension *and* a DataHub account to earn rewards. *** ### How to post your first AI reply This guide walks you through your first reward-eligible comment using DataHunter. The whole flow takes about a minute once your account is set up. *** #### Step 1 — Open DataHunter and connect your account Click the DataHunter icon in your Chrome toolbar. You'll see a welcome screen with the **Connect Account** button. Click **Connect Account** and sign in with your DataHub X log-in. If you don't have a DataHub account yet, you'll need to create one first.
*** #### Step 2 — Click "AI Reply" in the popup After signing in, the DataHunter popup shows your **Today's Comments** counter (e.g. `0/25`) Click the purple **AI Reply** button at the bottom of the popup. This opens X in a new tab.
> If you're already logged into X in your browser, you'll go straight to your timeline. If not, X will prompt you to log in — use your normal X credentials. *** #### Step 3 — Find a post worth replying to By default, we'll show you a list of recommended posts to reply to. Pick a post that fits the campaign. Good candidates: * **Trading, crypto, AI, Finance, or AI agent topics** * **News-worthy posts** — partnerships, launches, market events * **Posts with 1,000+ views** — these are the only ones eligible for rewards Avoid replying to posts about politics, drama, tragedies, or anything off-topic. Off-topic comments don't help the campaign and won't earn rewards. When you find a good post, click **Reply** as you normally would on X. *** #### Step 4 — Pick a voice Once the reply box is open, you'll see a pink **Select Reply** button next to X's native Reply button. Click it.
A small menu drops down with four voices: * 🔥 **Hype** — Enthusiastic, amplifying * 🤔 **Skeptic** — Curious, asks a question * 💡 **Insider** — Drops context * 👋 **Casual** — Low-key, relatable Pick the voice that best fits the post. DataHunter generates a comment in that voice and fills it into the reply box automatically. #### Step 5 — Review and post Your generated comment appears in the reply box, including hashtags or mentions like `#agentica` or `@agenticatrade` when relevant.
**Before you post:** * Read the comment to make sure it fits the conversation * Light edits are fine — tweak wording, adjust tone, fix anything that feels off * Make sure you're following [X's community guidelines](https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/x-rules) — don't post in restricted topics, don't spam, don't harass > **Note about tags:** Sometimes the AI generates a comment without `#agentica` or `@agenticatrade` visible. Don't worry if a comment doesn't include them; it still counts. When you're happy with the comment, click X's black **Reply** button to post it. {% hint style="info" %} One reply per post. Only the first counts toward rewards, and repeat replies on the same post may flag your account for spam. {% endhint %} #### What happens next * Your **Today's Comments** counter ticks up by 1 * You earn one share of this month's reward pool * The comment counts toward your monthly payout You can post up to **25 comments per day**. Rewards are paid out at the end of each month in $PUBLIC or USDT. {% hint style="info" %} All posts are reviewed. Spam, abuse, or rule violations result in a permanent ban and forfeiture of all rewards. Be respectful. {% endhint %}
