Answers, not only links
The DM sends the link. When people reply with a question about sizes, shipping or prices, the AI agent answers it from your own website and documents.
Comparison
SimplyBoostvs CreatorFlow.
SimplyBoost does what CreatorFlow does, and keeps the conversation going. Comment-to-DM rules send your link with a public reply, a follow request and up to six follow-ups, and an AI agent trained on your own content answers the questions people send back, on Instagram, WhatsApp and your website.
Our Verdict
SimplyBoost is the better choice when your DMs turn into questions, and they usually do. CreatorFlow sends the link. SimplyBoost sends it with a public reply, a follow request and up to six follow-ups, then an AI agent answers from your own products, prices and policies, hands off to your helpdesk when needed, and covers WhatsApp and your website too.
One comment, start to finish.
The keyword triggers the DM with your link. When the person asks something your DM didn't cover, the AI agent answers from your own website and documents, with no flow to build for it.
- Public reply under the comment
