How does the AI handle thank-yous and sign-offs?
When it reacts with an emoji instead of writing, when it stays silent, and how it avoids endless goodbyes.

A good co-host knows when a conversation is finished. Staynup follows the same manners.
Reactions
With React instead of replying on (it is the default), the AI closes a thank-you or a friendly sign-off with an emoji reaction instead of another message. It uses only 😊, ❤️ and 👏. A warm, positive message may get a short written reply and a reaction.
If you turn it off, the AI writes a short closing instead. It never just goes silent in a way the guest might read as ignoring them.
You can change or remove a reaction the AI sent from AI activity.
Taking turns
- After both sides have said goodbye, one more "thanks" from the guest gets no reply.
- While a person on your team has just written, the AI stays quiet, for the time set in Pause after you reply.
- If you or a co-host react to a guest's unanswered message, the AI takes that as "please answer it" and replies, even during the pause.
- A guest's reaction to a message is a closing signal, not a new question.
