Workflow of the Week 🚀

Who Built It: Emil

What It Does: This workflow automatically analyzes Instagram commenters’ profiles and sends them personalized direct messages (DMs). It combines profile scraping, AI-generated copy, and automation triggers—so you can scale your Instagram engagement without ever writing DMs by hand.

Why It’s Incredible: Instead of wasting time manually messaging every new commenter, Emil’s system handles it all. Here’s how it works:

1. ManyChat listens for Instagram comments and triggers the workflow.

2. N8N + Ensemble Data scrape commenter profile info (bio, category, and recent posts).

3. OpenAI GPT API generates a tailored outreach message based on that data.

4. ManyChat delivers the DM instantly—with optional follow-up sequences if links are clicked.

That means:

• Every commenter gets a unique, human-sounding DM based on their own profile.

• You can run resource campaigns with automated follow-ups to nurture leads.

• Setup is simple with Emil’s free template—even for non-technical users.

📊 Difficulty Rating: 🌊🌊 (2/5 — Beginner-friendly with templates and API setup)

Agent Opus – Your AI Video Buddy 🎬

I’ve joined so many AI waitlists before, but this one’s got me so excited might actually dunk two biscuits in my tea to celebrate.

Here’s the deal - sometimes I’ll dump a half-baked thought for a video in my notes app… and normally it just sits there. But with Agent Opus, those messy little brain sparks can actually turn into proper videos. No hours of editing, no headache — just straight from “meh” to “magic.” I am most excited about the asset manager where I can add my clients content and the hook generator.
