When someone comments a chosen keyword on an Instagram post or Reel, CommentKeyword can reply publicly and automatically send a direct message containing the requested link, guide or offer. Users can rotate up to ten variations of both public replies and DMs and personalize messages with the recipient&rsquo;s name, keeping responses varied and less repetitive. If the recipient replies, an optional AI agent can continue the conversation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">CommentKeyword&rsquo;s <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/commentkeyword.com\/instagram-dm-automation\">Instagram DM automation<\/a> tools support campaigns such as distributing downloadable resources, sharing product information and delivering booking links. Rather than manually messaging each person who responds to a post, businesses can configure a keyword and the message they want commenters to receive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The free plan includes 300 automated DMs per month. Paid plans start at $12 per month, with 3,000 automated DMs&mdash;ten times the free allowance&mdash;and access to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/commentkeyword.com\/ai-agents\">AI agents for Instagram DMs<\/a>. These agents can ask qualifying questions, collect structured information, direct people toward relevant offers and hand conversations over to a human when needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;Someone commenting on a post is showing interest, but sending them a link is often only the beginning,&rdquo; said Jhonny, founder of CommentKeyword. &ldquo;We wanted to make that first response straightforward and give businesses a way to continue the conversation when the person replies&mdash;whether that means answering a question, understanding what they need or helping them take the next step.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A setup assistant drafts the AI agent from a plain-language description, including its instructions, objectives, conversation hook, required information and handoff rules. Users can review the draft and test conversations before activating the agent for a campaign.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For example, a coach could invite followers to comment &ldquo;GUIDE&rdquo; to receive a free resource. CommentKeyword would deliver the resource by DM and add a short hook question to invite a response. Once the recipient replies, an AI agent could ask about their goals and guide them toward a suitable offer, such as a booking link, a community or a product. The AI step is optional; campaigns can also stop at delivering the initial message.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The platform uses Meta&rsquo;s official Instagram API. Its delivery system includes per-account queues and retry safeguards to manage eligible messages when platform limits affect delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">CommentKeyword is focused on Instagram comment-triggered messaging rather than offering a multichannel chatbot builder. The launch gives teams whose main workflow is comment-to-DM campaigns an alternative built around that specific use case. Businesses requiring automation across WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other channels may need a broader multichannel platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The service is available now, with a free plan that does not require a credit card. Users can start with keyword-triggered messages and add higher sending allowances and AI conversations as their requirements develop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About CommentKeyword<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/commentkeyword.com\">CommentKeyword<\/a> is an Instagram automation platform that turns keyword comments into direct-message conversations.
