Improvement of Instagram Direct bot — AI logic instead of scripted bot (+ optionally auto-posting Reels)

Budget: 1100 PLN Deadline: 7 days

Hello! I understood the task — to bring the Instagram Direct bot from "guess the step" to a normal live dialogue on AI, plus to implement auto-posting of Reels/Stories through the Meta Graph API.

For task #1 (Direct logic): ManyChat with its randomizer of templates really loses leads because it doesn't understand the context. I would go for a separate bot on aiogram/FastAPI, connected to Instagram through the official Meta API — the webhook receives the message, Claude API analyzes the meaning (question about price / "expensive" / "I'll think about it" / non-standard), and the bot responds essentially in Ukrainian, maintaining the specified tone. Rigid basic scenarios will remain as insurance — but AI will choose the appropriate response based on the context, rather than firing random text.

For task #2 (auto-posting): through the Meta Graph API, I will implement the publication of reels/stories/posts/carousels with tags [reels], [stories], [post], [carousel] + geo/polls/countdown options. An admin panel /admin with roles (posting/viewing/all) and an activity log, dynamic pricing from Google Sheets (column "Price") will be pulled into the bot's messages. I will take on both tasks together — doing it comprehensively.

⚙️ Stack: Python + FastAPI for the webhook handler, Claude API/OpenAI for dialogue semantics, Meta Graph API for Instagram Direct and posting, Google Sheets API for current prices. I already have experience integrating AI models into chatbots and working with the Instagram Graph API.

Examples of similar work:
AI bot for CRM event project on aiogram/FastAPI — intent analysis of leads through OpenAI API, dynamic responses instead of rigid scenarios. Conversion to qualified leads increased from ~12% to ~31%. Auto-posting bot for a clothing brand on Instagram (Meta Graph API) — publications of reels/stories/carousels on schedule, multi-user admin panel with roles and action log.

I will take on both tasks — starting today. Please reply with a few words about your preferences regarding the Claude/OpenAI stack — and I will draft a plan for the first stage. Expand

Good morning,

I can do this. It's best to start with task 1: keep the current ManyChat and add a webhook + external AI-handler in FastAPI, so the bot analyzes the meaning of the messages instead of following rigid steps.

I will improve intent recognition: price, "expensive," "I'll think about it," custom questions, Ukrainian language, fallback, and handover of the conversation to a human.

I can also do autoposting via the Meta Graph API, but as a second stage after checking access and API limitations.

For stage 1, I propose 950 PLN / 7 days.
I can estimate the total with autoposting after a brief discussion of the details.

Good day! I have reviewed the task — I will take on both tasks.
For task 1 — I recommend using a webhook over ManyChat with an external AI processor on FastAPI + Claude API. This is faster than rewriting everything from scratch, and ManyChat remains as the interface. The bot will truly understand the content of the message — questions about price, objections like "too expensive," "I'll think about it" — and respond appropriately in Ukrainian without language jumps.
For task 2 — auto-posting via the Meta Graph API is feasible, all types of content are supported. A multi-user panel with roles and activity logs, dynamic pricing from Google Sheets — everything is included.
Please send the screenshots of the problematic conversations you mentioned — it will be immediately clear where the logic breaks and what exactly needs to be fixed. I am ready to discuss the details.

Diana, hello! This is Bogdan — we are just finalizing your bot for HER ERA, so I know the task with the AI logic inside out: right now, I am removing that very "randomizer of templates," translating responses to the Claude API so that the bot understands the meaning of the question, states the price, and doesn't switch from Ukrainian to Russian. I will also take care of the autoposting through the Meta Graph API with the /admin panel and the price from the Google spreadsheet — both tasks together. I suggest keeping the Direct logic on top of the current ManyChat via webhook, without a second bot — it's faster that way. Let me know if you need Reels right away or if it can be done in the second phase? Based on that, I will calculate the exact timeline.

Hello!

I am ready to implement both tasks turnkey.

Regarding the smart bot in Instagram Direct (Task 1):
I propose to create a system from scratch without using ManyChat to achieve maximum reliability. The bot will be directly connected to Instagram, will analyze the content of messages, and will respond in live Ukrainian. For text processing, I suggest using DeepSeek — it demonstrates excellent context understanding and is significantly more cost-effective than other models. The bot will automatically pull the current prices from your spreadsheet.

Regarding autoposting and Telegram admin panel (Task 2):
I will create a convenient management panel in Telegram. You will be able to manage the team, and the bot will automatically publish posts, reels, and stories, taking fresh information from Google Sheets.
I am always in touch, maintain clear communication, and show initiative to ensure everything works perfectly. I am currently actively building my rating on this platform, so I offer the most favorable conditions.

Cost for the entire project: 1100 PLN
Timeline: 5-6 days.

I am ready to discuss the details and start working. Message me! Expand

Hello, Diana! 👋
I have reviewed the specification — the task is clear and I can take on both points.
Task 1 — a classic problem: a rigid ManyChat scenario is not suitable for live dialogue. The best solution is to leave ManyChat as a messaging delivery channel but connect an external AI handler via webhook: ManyChat receives a message → sends it to the FastAPI server → there Claude API analyzes the context and returns a response back to Direct. This is quicker to implement, does not require rewriting the infrastructure, and ManyChat remains a convenient UI for management. An alternative — a full-fledged bot through Meta Webhooks + aiogram/FastAPI, but this takes longer and is more expensive for the same effects.
Task 2 — I have implemented autoposting through the Meta Graph API, so carousels, reels, stories, geotags — no problem. Retrieving the current price from Google Sheets via gspread is also a familiar issue to me.
The stack I use: FastAPI, Claude API / OpenAI API, Meta Graph API, Google Sheets (gspread), Docker.
Details regarding costs and deadlines — in a private message.

We already have a practically ready similar solution for an AI bot for dialogues and lead processing, which can be quickly adapted for Instagram Direct and your CRM (:
I'm available, we can discuss the details here on the marketplace.

Regarding the architecture, I would start with ManyChat webhook plus an external AI processor on FastAPI - this is faster for task 1 and less disruptive to the current system.
If we run into limitations with ManyChat or Meta rights, then we can move Direct to a separate service through the official Meta API.
It's important not just to connect Claude API or OpenAI API, but to build a layer of rules, memory, and response verification so that the AI doesn't invent prices and doesn't confuse languages.

We will take on both tasks.
Task 1 - AI logic for Direct, Ukrainian language, intents for price, expensive, I will think, non-standard questions, dialogue context.
Task 2 - auto-posting reels, stories, posts, carousels, tags, roles in /admin, activity log, pulling prices from Google Sheets. Overall estimate for the entire volume - 14,500 PLN, timeline - about 24 working days.
The initial phase for Direct can be highlighted separately - 5,500 PLN and 7-10 working days.

Based on experience, we are close to your task:
- https://business.ingello.com/vorfahr - AI automation and agent logic for business processes
- https://business.ingello.com/fractal - complex automation with agents and workflows
- https://business.ingello.com/forma-crm - CRM and operating system with roles, logic, and admin panel

We will need access to ManyChat, Meta Business, Instagram professional account, current Telegram bot or repository, Google Sheets, and examples of conversations where the bot responded off-topic.

I would like to clarify 2 points.
- Is Instagram already connected as a professional account to Meta Business, and are there confirmed rights for messaging via API?
- Is auto-posting needed only for your accounts, or will there be different clients and different Instagram accounts in the panel?

Overall, it feels better to approach the task in stages - first save Direct and leads, then carefully add posting.
Not all that glitters is gold, and not every bot with a model becomes a sales tool.)) Expand

ManyChat currently does not understand the meaning — it just guesses the step, so the responses are off-topic. I will do the following:

1. Webhook handler on FastAPI: ManyChat sends a message, the server forwards it to the Claude API with a system prompt (tone, language — Ukrainian, basic scenarios: price, "expensive", "I'll think about it", non-standard). Claude returns a live response, which ManyChat sends. This way, ManyChat remains the front end, but the logic is AI.

2. For auto-posting — Meta Graph API: Reels, Stories, posts, carousels via /media + /media_publish. Tags are parsed from the text in the bot, and the price is pulled from the Google Sheets API. Admin panel in Telegram: roles, action log.

3. I store the dialogue context in Redis (the last N messages) — without this, AI does not see what has already been said and responds as if it were the first time.

Please send screenshots of merged leads and the current ManyChat flow — I want to see exactly where the bot breaks, so I can accurately describe the system prompt for your scenarios.

Hello, I see that your Instagram Direct bot is currently functioning as a template randomizer rather than a real conversational partner. The main issue is that it does not understand the essence of the clients' messages, which leads to "leaking" live leads.

Instead of rigid scripts, I will integrate an AI model (for example, Claude API) that will analyze inquiries and understand when a client asks about the price, has doubts, or expresses objections. The bot will respond in fluent Ukrainian, providing relevant information and maintaining the context of the dialogue. The result will be not just a bot, but an effective assistant that truly communicates and converts interested leads.

To start the work, I would like to clarify: is there already a ready prompt or examples of dialogues that can be used to train the AI?
