Hey, AI Enthusiast!
Let’s be honest, DMs can be a blessing and a curse.
As a creator or small business owner, your inbox is full of:
“How much for a collab?”
“Do you ship worldwide?”
“Where can I find the link?”
Answering the same questions 20+ times a week feels like a full-time job.
And hiring a VA (virtual assistant) just for DMs? That’s easily $100–$200/month.
Here’s where AI comes in 👇
AI DM Assistant (Your New Inbox Manager)
Tools like ManyChat AI handle repetitive DMs for you.
Think of it as your personal 24/7 assistant who never sleeps.
Here’s how you can set it up (in under 30 minutes):
Step 1: Pick Your Tool
ManyChat AI → great for Instagram & Facebook
Beginner-friendly, no coding needed.
Step 2: Write Down Your FAQs
Grab a notepad and list the top 5–10 questions you get over and over.
Examples:
“What’s your rate for collabs?”
“Do you ship to [country]?”
“How can I join your program?”
“Where’s the link to your ebook/product?”
Step 3: Feed the Answers into AI
Inside the tool, you’ll create “rules” or “flows.”
Example:
If someone types “collab” → AI replies:
“Thanks for reaching out! My collab packages start at [$XXX]. Drop your email and I’ll send the full kit.”
If someone types “shipping” → AI replies:
“Yes! We ship worldwide. Delivery usually takes 7–10 business days.”
Step 4: Personalize It
You don’t want the replies to feel robotic.
Add emojis, casual language, and even your signature phrases so it feels like you.
Example: Instead of “Link here: [URL]”
Try → “Here you go 👇 [URL] (and thank you for the support 💙)”
Step 5: Test & Go Live
Send a few test DMs from another account to see how AI responds.
Tweak anything that feels “too bot-like.”
And boom!!!
You’ve got a DM assistant running 24/7.
