What is Instagram auto-reply?

Instagram auto-reply is software that responds to DMs and comments automatically — instantly, around the clock — so followers never wait hours for an answer. It handles the repetitive questions (hours, pricing, shipping, availability) and frees your team for the conversations that need a human.

Defuser goes beyond canned responses. Its Talksy agentic AI understands what people actually mean and replies in your brand voice, while simple rule-based auto-replies cover predictable questions. Together they make your account feel always-on. Pair it with comment-to-DM to turn replies into captured leads.
