Can AI answer my Instagram and Facebook DMs?
- AI can auto-reply to Instagram and Facebook DMs in your voice.
- It answers common questions and qualifies the lead.
- Booking-ready leads go to your calendar or to you.
- It runs around the clock, so social leads do not go cold.
Yes. AI can automatically reply to Instagram and Facebook DMs, answer common questions, and pass booking-ready leads to you or straight to your calendar. For businesses that get a lot of social messages, it means no lead sits unanswered while you are busy or asleep.
Why DMs are a lead channel now
For a lot of local businesses, Instagram and Facebook messages are where customers actually reach out. If those DMs pile up unanswered, you are losing leads in the channel they prefer.
What AI can handle in DMs
An AI assistant can greet the person, answer questions about services, hours, and pricing, and move a ready buyer toward booking, all automatically and instantly.
Where a human steps in
Anything sensitive, unusual, or high-value should route to you. The assistant captures the details and flags it so a person can follow up.
AI should handle the repetitive DMs and hand you the ones that need a human. Speed on the routine, judgment on the rest.
It is built into the Agentic plan
Instagram auto-responses are part of our Agentic plan, alongside the AI sales bot. See the AI sales bot page for how it fits.
Frequently asked questions
Will the replies sound like a robot?

Can it book appointments from a DM?
Yes. If it is connected to your calendar, it can offer real times and book a ready customer directly from the conversation.
What about messages it can't handle?
It captures the details and routes them to you, so nothing gets lost and a person handles anything beyond the routine.
