It's Sunday evening. You've posted a Reel of a kitchen transformation — handleless cabinets, quartz worktops, integrated appliances. Within two hours it's got 500 views, 40 likes, and six DMs asking 'How much for something similar in my kitchen?' You're at a family barbecue with your phone in the car. Without AI Instagram, those six DMs go unanswered until Monday morning. By then, three of them have already contacted other fitters through Instagram. With Rapid Receptionist, every single DM gets an immediate response. The AI acknowledges their interest, asks what area they're in, captures their details, and lets them know you'll be in touch tomorrow with more information. Monday morning, you've got six qualified kitchen leads — with photos of their current kitchens attached.
Up and Running in 3 Simple Steps
We handle everything — you just keep working.
We Connect Your Instagram Business Account
We link your Instagram Business or Creator account to Rapid Receptionist. Your profile, posts, and stories stay the same — we just add AI-powered responses to incoming DMs.
AI Handles Incoming DMs
When someone DMs your account about a job, the AI reads the message, understands the enquiry, and sends a professional response. It captures their details and the work they're after.
Lead Notification Delivered
Every DM enquiry generates a structured lead notification — customer details, job description, and any images they've shared. You follow up when you're ready, with full context.
What This Channel Does for Your Business
Monetise Your Content
You post transformation photos, time-lapses, and finished projects. People see them, get inspired, and DM you asking about similar work. Without AI, those DMs pile up. With it, every inspired viewer becomes a captured lead.
Warm Leads, Cold Inbox
Someone who DMs you after browsing your portfolio is already sold on the quality of your work. They just want to know if you're available, you cover their area, and roughly what it'll cost. AI Instagram makes sure they hear back before they move on.
Responds to Story Replies
Instagram Stories generate massive engagement for tradesmen. When a follower replies to your Story with 'How much would something like that cost?' the AI catches it and captures the lead. Those story replies are some of the highest-intent leads you'll ever get.
Handles Photo Messages
Customers regularly send photos of their project via DMs — a tired kitchen, a cracked wall, a garden they want landscaping. The AI acknowledges the images, confirms receipt of the enquiry, and sends you everything including the photos.
Peak Hours Coverage
Instagram usage peaks between 7pm and 10pm — exactly when you've put down tools and want to switch off. The AI handles those evening DMs professionally, so you wake up to leads instead of a backlog of unread messages.
Built for Visual Trades
If your work is visual — kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, painting, carpentry — Instagram is your most powerful marketing tool. The AI makes sure that marketing actually converts by responding to every enquiry your content generates.
AI Instagram DMs is £19/month — available as an add-on to the Core plan or standalone. Unlimited DMs, no per-message charges. £299 one-time setup. No contracts, 30-day money-back guarantee. See full pricing →
Find AI Instagram DMs for Your Trade
Every trade gets a bespoke configuration — built with your terminology, your emergencies, and the way your customers talk.
Built by Tradesmen, for Tradesmen
We didn't build Rapid Receptionist from a boardroom. We built it because we've seen firsthand what happens when tradesmen miss calls — they lose work they should've won. We understand the trades because we've lived them. We know you can't answer the phone when you're on a job. That's exactly why this service exists.
Every feature, every channel, every response has been designed by people who understand what it's like to be up a ladder when the phone rings. This isn't some generic tech product — it's a tool built specifically for your world.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI respond to Instagram DMs?
When someone sends a direct message to your Instagram Business account, the AI reads the message, identifies the enquiry, and sends one professional response. It acknowledges what they've asked about, captures their contact details if available, and lets them know you'll follow up personally. The response is specific to their message — not a copy-paste auto-reply.
Can the AI handle Story replies and Reel comments?
The AI handles DMs, which includes Story replies since Instagram routes those through the DM inbox. If someone replies to your Story with an enquiry, the AI responds just like any other DM. Reel comments are separate from DMs and are not covered — but the most common path is someone sees your Reel, visits your profile, and DMs you from there.
I post transformation photos and get lots of DMs. Will the AI keep up?
Yes. Whether you get five DMs or fifty after a viral post, the AI responds to every single one. There's no queue, no capacity limit, and no slowdown. Every DM gets an instant, professional response — even if you're getting ten per minute after a post takes off.
Do I need an Instagram Business account?
Yes — a Business or Creator account is required for the API connection. If you're currently using a personal Instagram account for your trade business, converting to a Business account is free and takes about five minutes. We'll walk you through it during setup if needed.
What happens if someone sends images in a DM?
The AI acknowledges the images, lets the customer know you've received them, and includes everything in the lead notification sent to you. So if a potential customer DMs you a photo of their dated kitchen asking about a refit, you see the photo, their message, and their contact details — all in one notification.
My Instagram doesn't get many followers. Is it still worth it?
Follower count doesn't matter as much as enquiry quality. Even a small Instagram presence generates DMs — especially if your content shows high-quality finished work. One kitchen DM could be worth £8,000-£20,000 in work. At £19/month, capturing even one extra Instagram lead every few months pays for the service many times over.
How much does AI Instagram DMs cost?
AI Instagram DMs is £19/month — available as an add-on to the Core plan or standalone. Unlimited DMs, no per-message charges. The £299 setup fee covers the full connection and configuration. No contracts, cancel anytime, 30-day money-back guarantee.
