Where BotPenguin fits.
BotPenguin is a no-code platform for building AI agents, chatbots and voice agents for lead generation, sales, marketing and support.
Many channels
Free covers WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram and website, and higher plans add others.
A choice of models
The King Plan adds GPT-5 and other models such as Gemini, Claude and DeepSeek.
Live handoff
A unified inbox lets a person take over from the bot.
Start with one Instagram reply.
If your immediate job is responding to Instagram comments asking for a guide, link or offer, test that workflow in HyperDM. BotPenguin may be the better fit when you want one chatbot builder across websites and many messaging apps.
Use HyperDM’s visual flow builder for fixed steps and, from Growth, its AI Step for optional question handling. Add reviewed business knowledge for the optional assistant, test its answers, and enable human review for uncertainty. AI can make mistakes; a successful import is not factual approval.
Instagram is available today. WhatsApp, TikTok and store chat are coming soon. Abandoned-cart recovery is not offered. HyperDM bills conversations handled, not stored followers or sales. Compare actual activity and required features.
