How it works

Someone comments your keyword
On a post, a reel, or whatever you publish next. Story replies work too.
- 2
Adeli Chat replies and sends a DM
A public reply goes under their comment, and a DM with a button lands in their inbox.
- 3
They tap and get your link

Set up a comment to DM on my latest reel. When someone comments GUIDE, send them my AI guide link.
Done. "AI guide" is ready on your latest reel, with the keyword GUIDE, a public reply and a DM with your link. Should I put it live?
Yes. And pause the one on last week's carousel.
"AI guide" is live and the carousel automation is paused.
