Automate Instagram DMs to potential matches
A developer built an OpenClaw and Claude script that browses Instagram, finds potential matches and sends DMs for him.
- What They Did
- Ben Guez, a developer, combined OpenClaw's browser automation with Claude's language processing to build a script. It browses Instagram on its own, evaluates profiles, writes personalized messages and DMs people for him. The article also mentions "Instagram trials" but doesn't explain them, and it gives no detail on his prompts or oversight.
- How It Went
- Guez says his message requests now hold a bunch of potential international wives. The article says it's unclear whether any real relationships result, and it gives no response rates or other numbers.
- Worth Knowing
- Instagram's terms prohibit automated messaging, so an account running a script like this could be flagged, though the article says enforcement is spotty.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Browse [social platform] and show me up to [number] public profiles that match [interests, location, age range] and fit what I'm looking for. For each, give me a short summary and a draft opening message that references something real from their profile. Do not send any message; show me the drafts and wait for me to approve each one individually.
