### Step 3

#### Intent Classification

Comments are categorized based on predefined intents. There are eight default intents for categorizing comments.

When a comment is made on your account, it is categorized into one of these intents.

Comments that do not fit any category are marked as uncategorized.

### Step 4

#### Toggle Simulation and Live Modes

Two modes are available: Simulation Mode and Live Mode.

In Simulation Mode, comments are automatically fetched and displayed after account connection. The AI comment replies and AI DMs are not posted to instagram live accounts. This mode is for safe testing.

In Live Mode, The AI comment replies and AI DMs will be directly made to the Instagram account.
