Where they overlap.
AutoDM and Waveloop do the same core job on Instagram. Someone comments your keyword on a post or reel, or replies to your story, and they get your DM. Both can post a public reply under the comment, ask people to follow you before the link arrives and track clicks on your links. Both run on Instagram’s official API, and both connect to Claude.
