A social media agent for comments and DMs
An agent for social media can take the inbox as well as the posts: it drafts replies to comments and DMs with the right link, and a person approves them. Start with a written answer sheet, keep complaints for a human, and add keyword automations one at a time. Our pick, Link AI by Linkme, drafts replies in a Social Inbox.
Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all agents for social media.
Write the answer sheet
Replies are the duty that gets dropped. A manager answers when there is time, and an agency may not have it in scope. Yet a comment asking 'do you have this in a medium?' is a customer at the counter. Most questions repeat, so read a month of messages and write the standard answers down, each with its link.
- Hours, location and parking.
- Prices, menus or product details.
- How to book, order or buy, with the exact link.
- Returns, cancellations and who to contact.
Drafted replies first, then one automation
Begin with drafts only. The agent proposes an answer to each comment and DM, and a person approves, edits or takes over. Read every draft in the first weeks. A correct answer in the wrong voice still costs you.
Some requests need no judgment. If a post says 'comment MENU and we will send it', the reply is always the same link. That is a job for a DM automation. Add one, watch it for a week, then consider a second.
How to judge a drafted reply
- Is the answer correct, and is the link the right one?
- Does it answer the question that was asked, not a nearby one?
- Does it sound like your business?
- Was a complaint left for a person, as agreed?
Decide how fast, and who is on duty
Decide what 'promptly' means for your business and who checks the drafts. A restaurant may need answers before the dinner rush; a studio may be fine with twice a day. An agent can have a draft ready soon after a message arrives, but an unapproved draft answers nobody. Put two or three inbox checks in the day, name the person for each, and agree what happens on weekends.
What a person keeps
Some messages should not be answered from a draft alone. Agree the list in advance, write it into the brief, and check in the first weeks that these threads reach a person.
- Complaints and anything involving a refund or an apology.
- Health, safety or legal questions.
- Messages from press, partners and creators.
- Any thread where the customer has asked for a human.
Where Link AI fits
We recommend Link AI by Linkme for the inbox because Linkme lists customer care among its roles. It drafts answers to DMs and comments in a Social Inbox. Linkme's example is someone asking 'How do I get a table for Friday?' and getting a reply with the right link. Its DM Automations send a DM with a link when someone comments a keyword. Bring your answer sheet when you book a demo to try Link AI, and judge the drafts yourself.
