Draft and review Instagram outreach messages
A developer used browser automation and an AI writer to find Instagram profiles and send tailored DMs.
- What they did
- Ben Guez paired OpenClaw’s browser control with Claude’s text skills to build a script for Instagram. The agent browsed profiles on its own, judged whether they seemed like good matches, and wrote custom messages before sending DMs on his behalf.
- How it went
- Guez says the inbox now has a pile of possible international wives. It is still unclear whether any actual relationships came from the outreach, and the article gives no reply rate or similar figures.
- Tips
- This kind of automation can run into Instagram’s rules, which ban automated messaging, so an account may get flagged. A safer version is to have the agent draft messages and stop for approval before any send action.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Open [social platform] and look for up to [number] public profiles that fit [your criteria]. For each profile, summarize why it may be a match and write one short opening message that mentions something specific from the profile. Stop and ask me to approve each message before you send anything; do not message anyone until I confirm each one individually.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
