    Hi piriapolissoluciones,

    Take note that our AI Agent Instagram integration is currently a beta feature. At the moment, it can only reply to the DM sent by users to your Instagram account and not to the comments. If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to help you with this.
