InfluenceAI

AI autopilot for Instagram DMs & comments

Visit Website
July 7, 2026 Launched InfluenceAI β€” an AI that runs Instagram DMs, comments,stories and posting on autopilot

Hey Indie Hackers πŸ‘‹ I'm Claudia, founder of InfluenceAI (https://influenceai.app/grow). After watching creators and small brands lose leads every single day because they couldn't reply to every Instagram DM, comment or story reaction in time, I built a simpler alternative to ManyChat.

What it does: βœ… Auto-replies to comments and turns them into DMs βœ… Sends AI-powered welcome DMs to new followers βœ… Replies to story mentions and reactions automatically βœ… Schedules feed posts + stories βœ… Lead Finder β€” scrapes the web for prospects and qualifies them with AI.

What makes it different from ManyChat: Most bots send one reply and stop. InfluenceAI keeps the conversation going β€” it qualifies the lead, answers questions in your tone of voice, and moves them toward a sale. No flow builder, no spaghetti diagrams. You write your brand knowledge once, the AI handles the rest.

Stack: React + Supabase + Gemini, fully bootstrapped, solo founder. Pricing: 7-day free trial, then €19/€49/€89 per month. 🎁 For Indie Hackers: code INDIE50 gives 50% off your first month. Would love your feedback β€” especially on the onboarding flow and pricing tiers. What would you cut, what would you double down on? Cheers, Claudia

July 2025 Building InfluenceAI β€” From an Idea to First Landing Page in 2 Weeks

Hey Indie Hackers!

I’m working solo on InfluenceAI, an AI-powered platform to help micro-influencers and brands connect through performance-driven campaigns.

I started this as a side project earlier this month because I saw how hard it is for small creators to land brand dealsβ€”and how many tools are only made for mega influencers. So I thought: why not build something lightweight, AI-enhanced, and truly helpful?

βœ… Built the landing page
βœ… Designed a logo
βœ… Set up a clear use case: AI recommendations + Influencer-brand match-making

Next steps:

  • Validate interest via early sign-ups

  • Launch an MVP with analytics for Instagram creators

  • Start sharing my journey weekly right here πŸ’‘

Would love any feedback on the idea or landing page:

Creators lose leads when they can't reply fast on Instagram. I built InfluenceAI to fix that: a simpler, AI-powered alternative to ManyChat that runs DMs, comments and posting on autopilot and keeps the conversation.
