Setting up your sources

What a source is

loom scans the sources you give it 24/7 and drafts in your voice from new content. There are two kinds: X accounts you watch (it drafts replies/quotes to their new tweets) and RSS/news sites (it produces tweets/threads from new articles). A mix of 3–5 is a good start — a single source produces single-type drafts, a mixed set brings variety.

Watching an X account

Add a @username from Sources or the task center; loom scans that account's new tweets. You can paste several @handles into the box in the task center and assign dozens of watch tasks at once.

• +reply — a reply draft in your voice to the watched account's new tweet
• +quote — a quote draft commenting on the tweet (quotes always go to your approval)

Adding an RSS / news source

Pasting a site address is enough. Even if you paste just the homepage (e.g. techcrunch.com), loom tries to find the feed automatically: first the page's RSS link, then common addresses (/feed, /rss.xml, /?feed=rss2...). If it finds one, it offers it to you as "did you mean this" — it doesn't add silently.

Engagement tier: core · rotation · discovery

For each watched X account you choose "how much to engage" — this single axis sets both the engagement rhythm and the daily volume:

• +core — favorite accounts: frequent + plenty of engagement (short wait, higher daily cap)
• +rotation — most accounts: balanced rotation, everyone gets a turn
• +discovery — opportunity pool / new accounts: rare + few (only on rising tweets)

This tier prevents piling onto the same account — loom distributes its engagement fairly across accounts. You pick the tier from the account card in the task center.

Source limit and extra slots

On Power you can watch 30 X accounts + 10 RSS sources (separate budgets). If you need more, you rent extra slots with credits: 150 credits / 30 days (per source type, auto-renewing). If credits run short, only that source type's scanning pauses — your sources aren't deleted.
