Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to what business owners ask us most.

How do I send a link by DM when someone comments a keyword?

You choose a word, such as GUIDE, and set it on a post or Reel. Whoever comments it gets the link by direct message right away, and their contact is saved so you can follow up later by email or WhatsApp.

Can an AI assistant answer my DMs without sounding like a robot?

Yes. The assistant is set up with your program’s information and examples of how you write, so it answers questions about dates, content and access in your tone. Anything personal, or a question it cannot answer, goes to you or your team with a summary.

What can a course creator automate during a launch?

The live class registration and its reminders, the waitlist emails, the notices when enrollment opens and closes, the follow-up to whoever left the checkout halfway and the access for new students. You focus on teaching and selling, and every day you get a summary with the numbers.
