Your Clone replies to your audience in your voice, so IcloneU's AI Policy asks you to be transparent that an AI assistant is involved. On Facebook, Instagram and YouTube that means adding a small identifier and a short disclosure to your profile before you enable the Clone; on Mercado Libre, to your listings. This is a one-time edit per profile (on Mercado Libre, per listing, including each new listing you publish), and the connection won't let you finish enabling until you confirm you've done it.
IcloneU gives you the identifier and the confirmation step, but adding it is yours to do: IcloneU isn't responsible for regulatory non-compliance if the notice is missing, and meeting the AI-transparency rules in the place you operate is the client's responsibility. Set it up from day one — IcloneU also sends an automatic reminder 7 days after activation to double-check it's in place.
What to add
The official identifier is the sparkle ✨, shown together with a short disclosure line. Add both to your profile:
Identifier: ✨
Disclosure text: ✨ Some responses are generated by an AI assistant · IcloneU
Where space is tight, an abbreviated version of the disclosure is fine — keep the ✨ and make clear an AI assistant is involved.
Put it wherever it's visible to people who reach you on that channel — typically your bio, About or channel description, and on Mercado Libre your listing descriptions. Add it on every profile where your Clone operates.
Where it goes, per channel
- Instagram — add the ✨ and the disclosure to your bio (Edit profile → Bio).
- Facebook — add it to your Page's Intro / About. On Meta (Facebook and Instagram) you may additionally include the notice in the platform's legal/About notices.
- YouTube — add it to your channel description (Customize channel → Basic info → Description).
- Mercado Libre — here the notice goes on your listings: edit each listing your Clone answers on and add the disclosure line at the end of its description. The note below says what IcloneU adds by itself; the whole channel is covered in Connecting Mercado Libre.
On Mercado Libre your Clone answers the public questions buyers ask on a listing, and each answer stays on that listing for every later visitor to read. IcloneU ends every answer the Clone publishes there with the ✨ identifier, so it shows right where the AI speaks — that part you don't have to do. What you add is the disclosure line on the listing itself, so the notice is there before anyone asks. Post-sale messages (the private conversation about an order) and replies inside a claim are written by your Clone too, but IcloneU doesn't add the ✨ to them, nor to an answer a person writes — which is why the notice on your listings matters.
On WhatsApp and Telegram, IcloneU doesn't ask for this confirmation, and the Clone doesn't announce itself in the chat. If someone asks directly whether they're talking to a person or an AI, the Clone is instructed to answer honestly. We recommend saying it up front in the Clone's greeting: open the Clone's Identity tab, click Configure greeting, switch on Add a greeting to the first reply, leave Send the greeting on Always on the first reply (the default), and start the greeting with a line such as "Hi! I'm the AI assistant of (your business)." The greeting then goes out at the start of a conversation in every private chat — WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram direct messages, Telegram and web chat — where nothing else tells the customer an AI is answering. With Only when the customer says hello, a customer who opens with a question gets no greeting, and on Instagram and Messenger a greeting longer than 698 characters is left out, so keep it short. The greeting window recommends the same line, and its example text opens with it. It's a recommendation: nothing checks the greeting for it.
Confirm it in IcloneU
Once the identifier is on your profile, tell IcloneU. When you assign or enable a Clone on a Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Mercado Libre connection, the connection's Account options panel shows an AI identifier ✨ card. A new Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Mercado Libre connection starts switched off: the panel that opens right after you connect shows Enabled on, but the connection only goes live when you save that panel with the confirmation switched on. Close it with Cancel or × and the connection stays Disabled — everything that arrives on it meanwhile is ignored, not stored. The same goes for a connection you remove and add again; Reconnect keeps an existing connection as it was.
Open the connection's Account options
It opens by itself right after you connect. To come back to it later, select the connection on the Connections page and click Settings; if the connection reads Disabled, switch Enabled on there.
Switch on the confirmation
Switch on I have added the ✨ AI identifier and disclosure to this profile. IcloneU records the date and time of your confirmation.
Save
Now Save is available. Until the confirmation is on, Save stays disabled and the card shows "Required before enabling this integration." On a new connection, this Save is what switches it on.
On Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Mercado Libre, an enabled connection can't be saved until you switch on the confirmation — that's the "Required before enabling this integration." hint. It's the one gate between finishing the connection and your Clone going live.
Frequently asked
The disclosure line ✨ Some responses are generated by an AI assistant · IcloneU, keeping the ✨ identifier. If the platform gives you little room, an abbreviated version is fine as long as the ✨ is there and it's clear an AI assistant is involved.
IcloneU asks for the confirmation only on the channels where the Clone answers in public: Facebook, Instagram and YouTube (plus Mercado Libre). On WhatsApp and Telegram the Clone doesn't announce itself in the chat; if someone asks directly whether they're talking to an AI, it is instructed to answer honestly. We recommend starting the Clone's greeting with a line that says an AI assistant is answering (Identity tab → Configure greeting): with Send the greeting on Always on the first reply, the default, it reaches customers on WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram direct messages and web chat.
On Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Mercado Libre you must first switch on I have added the ✨ AI identifier and disclosure to this profile. in the connection's Account options. Until then Save is disabled and the card reads "Required before enabling this integration."
Check the connection's status on the Connections page. Disabled on a new Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Mercado Libre connection almost always means the panel was closed before the confirmation was saved: select it, click Settings, switch Enabled on, switch on the confirmation and click Save. No Clone takes precedence over Disabled and means no Clone is attached: create one first, then pick it in the Clone dropdown, switch Enabled and the confirmation on, and Save. On Facebook and Instagram, messages that arrived while the connection was off are lost for good; on Mercado Libre, questions and post-sale messages that arrived meanwhile aren't picked up later either.
Add the disclosure line to the description of every listing your Clone answers on — in practice, your active listings, and new ones as you publish them. IcloneU adds the ✨ to each answer the Clone publishes, so buyers see the identifier on every answered question; the line in the description is the notice that's there before anyone asks, and the one a buyer who only writes after buying gets to see.
You won't be able to enable the Clone on that channel without confirming — a new connection simply stays Disabled — and meeting the AI-transparency rules where you operate is your responsibility — IcloneU isn't liable for non-compliance caused by a missing notice. IcloneU sends a reminder 7 days after activation as a backstop, but you should set it up from the first day.
