Repeatable customer-message work with clear boundaries and a defined next step.

Why real estate teams use a instagram assistant
1
Property inquiry leads going cold within hours
2
Agents unable to respond to every listing inquiry personally
3
Open house scheduling and follow-up lost in the shuffle
4
After-hours buyers browsing listings with no one to talk to
5
Lead qualification wasting experienced agents' time
Industry insight
Property inquiries are highly time-sensitive because buyers and renters often contact multiple agents while comparing listings and viewing availability.
How it works for real estate
When a buyer inquires about a listing at 10 PM, your instagram assistant answers questions about the property — square footage, price, neighborhood, features — and schedules a viewing appointment with the right agent for the following day. Every lead is qualified, captured with contact details, and pushed to the agent immediately so follow-up happens while interest is highest.
How the instagram assistant supports the workflow
Instant auto-reply to every Instagram DM
Every DM gets an immediate, personalized response — no matter the time. Zero-lag replies signal engagement to Instagram's algorithm and keep buyers in the conversation.
Product and service Q&A trained on your business
Answers questions about your offerings, pricing, availability, and policies with accuracy — trained on your actual business information, not generic scripts.
DM-to-booking conversion without leaving Instagram
Turns casual inquiries into booked appointments or qualified leads directly inside the DM conversation — no link-in-bio friction, no redirect.
Story reply and Reel comment handling
Engages with story replies and comment-triggered DMs automatically — capturing buyer intent at the exact moment of highest interest.
Instagram lead capture and CRM handoff
Collects contact details, scores lead intent, and routes hot prospects to your team with full conversation context — so no warm lead goes cold.
Brand-consistent voice and tone
Matches your brand personality — whether that's friendly, professional, or casual — so every DM reply feels like it comes directly from your team.
Information collected
What the assistant asks for
Collect only the details needed to answer, qualify, schedule, or hand off the request.
- Instagram handle and name shared by the prospect
- Interest in property listings, buyer consultations, viewing appointments
- Preferred timing and any qualification details you require
- Contact details only when needed for the agreed next step
Setup requirements
What your team provides
- An eligible Instagram professional account and approved messaging access
- Current offer, service, pricing, and brand-voice guidance

Honest limitations
Where people and configured systems stay in control
- It responds within the capabilities and policies of configured Instagram messaging.
- It should not manufacture availability, discounts, or claims that are not in your approved content.
Human handoff
When the instagram assistant hands off
OpenTulpa should handle repeatable chat work and give real estate teams context, not block customers from reaching a person. You define the triggers, owner, and expected response time.
- A prospect requests a person or negotiates special terms
- A public or private message is sensitive or reputationally risky
- The request needs a custom recommendation from your team
