Comments
Instagram comment automation that writes like you actually looked
Comment on each prospect’s latest Instagram post with something specific: a detail from the caption, a genuine question. The AI reads the post and the comments already on it, avoids repeating them, never pitches and skips posts that are too old.

Overview
“So beautiful! 😍” doesn’t start conversations
Generic comments are invisible: the prospect has twenty of them on every post. A comment that picks up a specific detail, the glaze temperature, the new location, the question in their caption, gets a reply, and makes your name stick before your DM arrives.
The Comment last post step can post your own text (with variables and spintax) or a smart AI comment. For AI comments, ReachPods gives the model the prospect’s latest post and the comments already on it, and asks for one or two sentences that react to something specific, without pitching, asking for a meeting or repeating what others said.
A maximum post age, 30 days by default, keeps you from reviving old posts, and comments are capped at 10 per Instagram account per day.
Smart AI comments
AI Instagram comments based on the caption and existing comments
Smart comments work on Instagram and LinkedIn. The rules are strict: be specific, no pitch, no meeting asks, no repeats of what others said, one or two sentences. See the cross-platform AI comment generator.

The part about deleting the kickoff call is underrated. Did activation hold up once the call was gone?Post age
Only comment on recent Instagram posts
Set the maximum age of the post to comment on. If the prospect’s latest post is older, the step is skipped and the lead continues, so you never leave a comment on something from last season.
