## Common Questions

**Q: Can I add posts I didn't write?**

A: You can, but the AI will learn from their style. Only add posts that match how you want to sound.

**Q: How many references should I add?**

A: Start with 5-10 of your best posts. Add more if needed for precision.

**Q: What if I delete all reference posts?**

A: The system falls back to auto-personalization from your full post history.

**Q: Do reference posts override auto-personalization?**
