Every story reply and mention is a warm lead. Defuser AI turns them into instant DM conversations that answer, qualify and sell — automatically, 24/7.
Story reply automation responds to the messages, reactions and mentions your stories generate — turning fleeting taps and emojis into real DM conversations. When someone replies to a story or mentions you in theirs, Defuser steps in automatically with a relevant message that keeps the moment alive.
It's one of the warmest signals on Instagram: a story reply means a follower is paying attention right now. Defuser's Talksy agentic AI capitalizes on that instantly, answering in your brand voice and capturing the lead before the interest fades.
