It asks the questions you’d ask on a discovery call. Good fits pick a time in the chat, and the call lands on your Calendly or Cal.com.

Commented HIRE on your Reel
Thanks for commenting! Here’s my first-hire checklist 💌
Thank you!! Is your coaching ok for someone still cleaning solo?
It is! Most of my clients start out on their own 🙂
How many regular clients do you clean for each week, and when would you like your first cleaner to start?
14 houses, and I’m turning work away. Before January!
That’s exactly what we work on. Fancy a free 30-minute discovery call? I have Thursday at 10:30 or Friday at 14:00 (UK time)
Thursday please!
You’re booked for Thursday at 10:30 ✨
Can I pay for the mentorship monthly?
AI handed offMaya booked a discovery call for Thursday at 10:30. She’s asking about paying monthly, which isn’t in your notes yet.

Maya comments HIRE on your Reel. Your checklist arrives in her DMs, and her email lands in Kit.
Answers in your voice
She asks if it’s for someone still cleaning solo. Alto answers from what you’ve taught it, the way you would.
Asks your questions
How many regular clients she has and when she wants to hire: the questions you’d ask on a discovery call.
Books the call
She picks Thursday at 10:30 without leaving the chat. It’s on your Calendly, and on her contact in Alto.
Hands you the rest
She asks about paying monthly, which you haven’t taught it yet, so Alto passes the chat to you with a short summary.

Instagram DM automation for coaches FAQs
Have something else in mind?
Talk to the Alto team.
How do coaches get clients from Instagram DMs?
Most follow the same path: a Reel or post, a free resource, a conversation, then a discovery call. Alto runs the DM part for you. It sends your freebie to everyone who comments, answers their questions and books the people who are a good fit.
Can AI replace my DM setter?
It can take on the setter’s first job. It replies to everyone who comments or messages you, asks your qualifying questions and books good fits onto your calendar. You still run the calls, and anything personal or tricky comes to you with a short summary.
Will it sound like me?
That’s the idea. You give Alto your tone, a few do’s and don’ts and some example replies, and it writes every message in that style. While you’re getting started, each reply can wait for your OK before it sends.
Will automating my DMs get my coaching account banned?
Alto connects through Meta’s official sign-in, never your password, and only replies to people who commented on your posts or messaged you first, the way your followers expect. Anyone who replies STOP stops hearing from it.
Does it work with Calendly, Cal.com and Kit?
Yes. Your AI can offer real open times from Calendly or Cal.com and book the call in the chat, and the booking shows on the contact. Emails go to Kit, Beehiiv or Flodesk, tagged the way you choose.
Can it screen out people who aren’t a fit before they book?
Yes. It asks your questions first, one at a time. Good fits are offered times on your calendar, and everyone else gets something useful instead, like a free guide or a workshop replay.
Will it work for high-ticket coaching?
Yes, because it doesn’t try to close the sale in the DM. It warms people up, answers what it can from what you’ve taught it and books the call, where you close. It won’t promise results or income, even if someone asks.
Which plan do I need?
Sending your freebie when people comment or message a keyword, adding their emails to your list and sharing your booking link are free on Instagram and Facebook. The AI that answers questions, qualifies leads and books calls in the chat is part of Pro. Paid plans add TikTok and WhatsApp.
