How much does it cost to run?

Only what Firebase charges you. For one person or a small team that's usually cents a month: there's no subscription and no per-contact fee. The optional Claude assistant is billed by Anthropic per use.

Does it reply to my followers with AI?

No, on purpose. Your followers get exactly the messages and flows you build. The optional Claude assistant works for you, the account owner: describe an automation in a sentence and it creates or edits it in your panel.

What exactly do I get?

The full source of the app (Next.js 16 + Firebase, MIT licensed), the Firestore security rules and indexes, the step-by-step setup guides, and a SKILL.md that lets your agent install, deploy and extend it with you.

Do I need Meta's App Review?

Not for your own account: you add yourself as a tester in your Meta app and it works right away. Only accounts without a role in your app (for example, if you install one copy for many clients' accounts) need App Review.

Is the panel in English?

The panel and the long guides are in Spanish, because it was built for Spanish-speaking businesses. The skill itself is in English and your agent explains every step in your language.

Where are my Instagram tokens stored?

In your own Firestore, encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key only you have, in a document the security rules deny to every browser. Only the server decrypts them, and the cron renews them before their 60 days run out.

chatty: Instagram DM automation on your own Firebase

Example session with this skill installed

Set up Chatty for my bakery's Instagram (@panaderia.luna). I want people who comment "MENU" on my posts to get the menu link by DM. I have a Google account and a GitHub account, nothing else yet.

Read your context and instructions
Compiled the chatty

Great, let's get @panaderia.luna answering "MENU" comments by itself. Here's the plan, then two quick questions.

The plan (about 1–2 hours, most of it in Meta's dashboard)

#	Step	I do	You do
0	See it running	Copy Chatty to `~/panaderia-chatty`, `git init`, `npm install`, `npm run dev`	Open localhost:3000 and look around (guided mode, sample data)
1	Firebase	Create the project, Firestore, the web app; deploy the security rules	`firebase login`, switch the project to Blaze, enable Google sign-in
2	Meta	Tell you exactly which screens and buttons; generate the webhook token	Create the Instagram app, copy its app id and secret, add yourself as tester
3	Variables	Write `web/.env.local`, generate the encryption key and cron secret	Paste the Meta secret yourself if you prefer
4	Deploy	Fill `apphosting.yaml`, create the secrets, create the App Hosting backend	Approve the GitHub connection in Firebase
5	Heartbeat	Create the Cloud Scheduler job that runs every minute	—
6	Connect + first automation	Give you the exact redirect and webhook URLs for Meta	Connect Instagram, then comment "MENU" from a second account

Your automation will be

trigger "comment on a post",

keywords menu, menú, a public reply like "Sent it to your DMs! 🥐", and the

private DM with your menu link.

Before I start

Is @panaderia.luna already a

professional account (Business or Creator)? If not, switch it in the Instagram app under Settings › Account type; it takes a minute.
2. What's your menu link? (A PDF on Drive, your website, anything public.)

Meanwhile I'm running Step 0. When the dev server is up, open http://localhost:3000: the

Primeros pasos checklist (the panel is in Spanish; I'll translate as we go) will be our progress bar, and it ticks itself as each step really works.

Heads-up so nothing surprises you: Meta only lets you reply to a comment with

one private text message, within 7 days, so the DM will be text with the link (no buttons).

Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.

About this skill

Chatty is a complete Instagram DM automation panel that you own. It runs on your Firebase project, with your data, and there's no monthly subscription or per-contact fee: for one person or a small team, Firebase usually costs cents a month.

This skill contains the whole app (Next.js 16 + Firebase) and a step-by-step playbook that lets your agent take you from zero to your first automatic DM: it runs the terminal work, tells you exactly what to click in Firebase and Meta, and checks each step before moving on.

What you get


Inbox	Every Instagram DM in one live inbox, open/closed, with who answered: the bot or you.
Automations	Keyword in a comment, keyword in a DM, story replies, first message, default reply. The classic "comment GUIDE and I'll DM you the link", with random public replies so it doesn't look robotic.
Flow builder	Drag and drop: messages, buttons, links, quick replies, questions that save the answer, "ask them to follow", waits, conditions, tags, hand-off to a human and calls to your own API. Ships with a 55-node example flow.
Contacts	Everyone who wrote or commented, with tags, notes and the data your flows captured.
Analytics	Followers day by day, reach, views, likes, comments, your posts and best hours. Collected hourly, because Meta doesn't keep history.
Claude assistant (optional)	Describe an automation in a sentence and it builds it in your account.
Mobile app	A PWA at /m with its own push notifications: new comments, unanswered DMs, flow checkpoints.
Your brand	Name, logo and color for the panel and the phone icon. Great if you install it for clients.

How it works

Guided mode first. Your agent runs npm run dev and you see the whole system in 2 minutes, with sample data and a checklist per section. No accounts needed yet.
Firebase. It creates the project, Firestore, the web app and deploys the security rules. You sign in and switch to the Blaze plan.
Meta. It walks you through creating the Instagram app (the screens that trip everyone up) and generates the webhook token.
Deploy. Environment variables, secrets in Secret Manager, Firebase App Hosting from your private GitHub repo, and a Cloud Scheduler heartbeat every minute.
First automation. Connect Instagram, create "comment GUIDE", comment from a second account and watch the DM arrive.

Plan on one to two hours, most of it in Meta's dashboard.

Requirements

An agent with terminal access (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI…)
Node.js 20+, git, the Firebase CLI and the Google Cloud CLI
A Google account with billing for Firebase Blaze (pay as you go; usually cents)
A professional Instagram account (Business or Creator) and a free Meta developer account
Optional: a Claude API key for the assistant

Good to know

The panel UI and the long-form guides are in Spanish. It was built for Spanish-speaking businesses. Your agent reads the guides and explains each step in your language.
Meta's rules apply: 24-hour messaging window, one private text reply per comment within 7 days, and accounts without a role in your Meta app need App Review.
Everything is yours. Each copy is independent; nothing is sent to the author.
MIT licensed source, TypeScript strict, with tests for the flow engine and the analytics.

How to install

Works the same in every agent - Claude, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and 20+ more.
