HitDM
Send an Instagram auto DM with your tracked link the moment someone comments your keyword.
What is HitDM?
HitDM is an Instagram auto DM tool that turns keyword comments into private direct messages. When someone comments a keyword on your post or Reel, HitDM sends them a DM with your message and a tracked link, so the offer reaches their inbox while they are still interested. Each trigger gets its own tracked URL, so you can see which keyword drove the click.
It is built for creators, coaches, and shops that need the link in the inbox rather than buried in a bio. Setup involves connecting a Business or Creator Instagram account through Meta's official API, picking a post or Reel, setting a keyword, and writing the DM. The Free plan includes 1,000 DMs per month and one Instagram account.
The Pro plan costs $9 per month and offers unlimited monthly DMs, lead capture inside the chat after the first message, and priority email support. HitDM is priced by the DMs you send rather than by contacts, so there are no contact overages after a viral post. It positions itself as a focused ManyChat alternative for Instagram-only teams.
HitDM uses Meta's official Messaging API rather than browser bots or password tools. Story reply DMs are listed as coming soon; comment keyword to DM is what ships today.

Evergreen content becomes a maintenance job after it works
Once an evergreen content system is reliably generating customers, it stops being a content job and becomes a maintenance job — refresh every 6-12 months to stay aligned with Google updates. That's what frees a solo founder to start building a second acquisition system for the next vertical, without dropping the first.
AI apps aren't specially placed to drive better conversions but what they do really well is monetize the revenue per user at the end of a year at the end of a month is significantly higher on AI than it is the rest of the app industry.
AI apps win on revenue per user, not conversion rate
RevenueCat's 2025 SOSA data shows AI apps convert at similar rates to standard apps — the difference is ARPU. They charge more and users pay because the product delivers genuinely greater value. If your AI app is priced the same as a non-AI alternative, you're leaving the primary revenue lever untouched.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
