Runs on your own account through ManyChat. Source: https://buildmydigital.co.uk/ai-dm-setter/ [Home](https://buildmydigital.co.uk/) · AI DM Setter # Your Instagram DMs, answered and booked. Every enquiry that lands in your inbox gets a reply in seconds, gets asked the questions you would ask, and gets offered a real slot in your diary. At 11pm on a Sunday, and on the day a reel goes off. Websites built free for local businesses. Then the systems that get you booked. £39 a month keeps us working on it to bring you more customers. No minimum term. ## The DM comes in at 9pm, you answer at 9am, and they have booked somewhere else. The setter replies in seconds, asks what you would ask and offers a real slot. Here is one evening at a nail studio, as an example. - 019:02pm**A DM arrives**Example customer“Hi, how much for a full set, and have you got anything this week?” - 02Seconds later**The reply, in your voice**DM setterYour greeting, your prices, the way you write. - 03**Your questions**DM setterIt asks what you need to know before you would give someone a slot. - 04**A real slot**DM setterOffered from your live diary, and booked straight in. - 05**Saved for you**DM setterThe whole thread is saved, so you can read it before they walk in. You never had to pick up your phone. ## Try it on your own business. Right now. Type your business name and town, or paste your website. We read your site and your Google profile, and the thread below answers as you: your services, your prices, your hours. ## What your customers see. An example thread: a nail studio's customer at twenty to nine on a weeknight, answered, priced and booked while the owner was off. Every reply from the setter, in the studio's own words. ### What your unanswered DMs cost you. **£390** a month £90 a week, £4,680 a year, going to whoever answers first. As an example from these numbers, **£241** a month is left over after the assistant ’s £ 149 starting price. Illustrative only, not a promise of earnings. These are example numbers. Change them to your own. Worked out as 8 slow replies a week, times £45 , times the 25 % who would have booked, then over a month (52 weeks divided by 12). An assistant that answers every Instagram message in seconds, in your own words, is £149 to £399 a month. It has to pay for itself in the first month, or you get every penny back, setup included. ## Answered in seconds, not next morning. It reads the DM, replies in your voice, asks what you need to know before you would give someone a slot, and books straight into your live diary. Story replies, comment-to-DM triggers and the "how much?" messages all go through the same path. It runs on your own Instagram account through ManyChat, so nothing about your login changes and you can read every conversation yourself. ## The first reply takes the booking. An enquiry sent at 9pm that gets answered at 9am next morning has already been sent to two of your competitors. The reply that lands in seconds is the one that gets the booking, which is why this is the same job as the [voice agent](https://buildmydigital.co.uk/voice-agent/) in a different channel. Salons, clinics, barbers and nail studios take more enquiries through Instagram than through any form on any website. ## Four hundred messages, none of them lost. A post that travels brings hundreds of messages in a day, most of them browsing, some of them ready to book. Sorting that by hand between clients is how the ready ones get lost. Your setter handles all of them at once, flags the ones worth your time and follows up the ones that went quiet, with the whole thread saved so you can read it before they walk in. ## Two ways to buy it. ### AI DM Setter · £299 setup, then £149 to £399 a month Instagram DMs, story replies and comment-to-DM, answered in seconds and booked into your live diary. Your questions, your prices, your booking link. Your exact monthly number depends on message volume and is fixed in writing before launch. It pays for itself in the first month, or every penny back, setup included. ### DM setter plus phone · from £448 setup The same qualifying and booking across DMs and the phone line, so the enquiry gets the same answer whichever way it arrives. Priced as the two services together and quoted in writing. ## Built on your business, not a script. It only knows what we load: your services, your prices, your hours, your policies. Nothing invented. It says it is an assistant if a customer asks. You test it on your own account before a single customer sees it, and you can take a conversation over at any point. ManyChat sits on your own account and is billed to you by ManyChat, not by us. If your enquiries come in by phone rather than DM, buy the [voice agent](https://buildmydigital.co.uk/voice-agent/) instead and we will tell you so. ## Common questions. ### Will it sound like a bot? We load how you actually write: your greeting, your phrasing, the questions you ask before you give someone a slot. It says it is an assistant if a customer asks, because pretending otherwise is how you lose them. You read the drafts and correct them before it goes live. ### Does it get my Instagram account banned? No. It runs through ManyChat, which is an official Meta business partner for Instagram messaging, on your own account with your own permissions. Nothing is automated outside what Instagram allows. ### What happens when it cannot answer something? It hands the conversation to you and tells the customer a human is picking it up. You get the thread and the notes, so you are not reading forty messages to work out what they asked. ### Why £149 to £399 rather than one number? Message volume and how much wiring your booking needs. A studio taking a few enquiries a day sits at £149; an account running ads into the DMs uses far more and the price scales with it. You get your exact number in writing before anything goes live, and it stays flat from there. ### Can I read the conversations? All of them, in your own Instagram inbox and in a dashboard that shows what came in, what got qualified, what got booked and where people dropped out. That last one tells you which question is costing you bookings. **Read next:** [What the Air Canada Chatbot Ruling Means for Your Site](https://buildmydigital.co.uk/blog/what-the-air-canada-chatbot-ruling-means-for-your-site/).
