01 · Use cases

What agents do in Instagram.

01

Publish and schedule

Draft, review, and publish posts, Reels, and Stories to owned or authorized accounts. What you approve is what goes live.

02

Triage and answer DMs

Read DMs, sort them by intent, and draft replies. Nothing sends without approval, so your voice stays in control.

03

Pull analytics and QA flows

Collect reach, engagement, and follower trends, and QA your publishing and messaging flows on real hardware first.

02 · Why a real phone

Why a real phone.

Instagram is built for a phone, so run it on a real phone in the cloud. Every device is compatible with Play Integrity and App Attest, so your first-party activity reads as legitimate. That keeps posts, DMs, and delivery reliable.

  • Genuine hardware identity. Your real phone runs real Android and iOS with a real app build, so authorized activity looks like a person's device.
  • Any model, one interface. Point any LLM at the device over API, SDK, or MCP, or hand a task to the chat VA.
  • Reads the screen, not just pixels. Agent works from the accessibility tree, ~90% cheaper than vision-only, with pay as you go, stateful on request, on devices.
