A developer built an OpenClaw and Claude script that browses Instagram, finds potential matches and sends DMs for him.
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.
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.
Instagram's terms prohibit automated messaging, so an account running a script like this could be flagged, though the article says enforcement is spotty.
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.
Score every demo request against your ICP, update HubSpot and ping the right rep in Slack within a minute of the form submit.
Every new Zendesk ticket gets a category, priority and sentiment tag plus a draft reply in an internal note before an agent opens it.
Copilot and Claude review each PR for bugs, missing tests and risky changes before a human looks, so reviewers can focus on design.
