now build the agent.
open a claude chat with chatplace connected, paste the request and fill in the <inputs> block with your keyword, link, product, hours and gift code. everything else stays as it is. all four jobs come from one request; claude leaves the rules paused, you test and switch them on.
The ChatPlace MCP connection is on. My Instagram account is @[HANDLE]. Build the setup from the inputs below. <inputs> Keyword: [one word, e.g. AGENT] Link to send: [guide or product link] Follow gate: [yes / no] Product, price and delivery info: [a few sentences or a file path] Working hours: [e.g. weekdays 09:00-18:00] Gift code: [code for people who share me in a story, e.g. STORY10] </inputs> <rules> 1. Read the existing automations first. If a rule already uses this keyword, say so and stop. Never overwrite. 2. DM agent: add the product, price, delivery info and working hours to the knowledge base. Quote the price when asked, offer a slot and book it when someone wants an appointment, summarize an order when someone places one. When it does not know an answer it must not guess; it hands over to me. 3. Story mention: whoever tags me in a story gets a thank-you DM with the gift code. At most once per person per day. 4. Comment rule: on every post in the account, DM anyone whose comment contains the keyword. Flow: welcome message with one button, follow check, link message if following, otherwise "follow the profile, then tap the button" and check again. Add a short public comment reply such as "sent it to your DM". Build the same flow as a separate rule for DMs and story replies with a "message contains" trigger, including common misspellings. 5. Analysis: use Virale on my last 30 posts. Tell me which formats, hooks and topics worked, with numbers. Draft the next 3 video scripts and 1 carousel. 6. All texts in my language, second person, three sentences per message at most. No hype, no exclamation stacks. 7. Create every rule PAUSED. When done, list the rule links and every message text. I will test from another account and switch them on. </rules>
what you get
once it is done, these four jobs run on your account.
01
dm replies, bookings and orders
it learns your product and hours once. it quotes the price at 3 am, books the appointment, logs the order, and calls you in when it does not know the answer.
02
a gift for story mentions
whoever tags you in a story gets a thank-you dm with a gift code, before you have even seen the story.
03
keyword comment to link
anyone who comments the keyword under your posts gets a dm. non-followers are asked to follow first, and a short public reply lands under the comment. the same flow greets anyone who sends the keyword by dm or story reply.
04
video analysis and the next script
it scans the videos on your profile, tells you which ones worked and why with numbers, and drafts the next script and carousel.
