Turn the DMs and comments on your shop's posts into booked appointments

Every "how much?" DM or comment on your shop's posts is a lost appointment if you don't reply. AI moves them to WhatsApp, quotes, books and logs them in your CRM.

The "how much?" comment that never became an appointment

Your shop posts a reel fixing a suspension. The video takes off, and below it twenty comments appear: "how much?", "do you work on older models?", "info please", "where are you located?". And in your Instagram inbox, just as many DMs asking the same thing.

Nobody answers all twenty. You're under a car, your kid runs the page "whenever he can," and by the time someone replies, half of them have lost interest or already gone elsewhere. Your content generated demand and it evaporated in the comments section.

That's exactly the gap we close at Catalizadora: turning every DM and every comment into a WhatsApp conversation that quotes, books and logs the customer. The attention your content is already generating, converted into real appointments.

The broken journey you have today

Think about the path a customer travels from seeing your reel to walking into your shop:

  1. They see the video and they're interested.
  2. They comment or DM asking for a price.
  3. They wait for a reply.
  4. (This is almost always where it breaks.)

Every step with a wait is a point where you lose them. And social media is the worst place to sell directly: no calendar, no payments, no orderly follow-up. So the trick isn't to sell in the comment. It's to move the person to WhatsApp fast, where you can actually close.

How an AI agent solves it

The agent we build makes that journey flow without anyone at your shop being glued to a phone.

It replies to the comment instantly

When someone comments "price?" on your post, the agent replies publicly with a short message in your brand voice and invites them to message on WhatsApp for the details. No waiting, nothing left unanswered.

It handles the DM and moves it to WhatsApp

The same agent answers the direct messages from your social accounts and routes them into a WhatsApp conversation, where it has every tool it needs: quote, book and charge.

It closes the conversation on WhatsApp

Once on WhatsApp, the agent does what it does best: it asks make, model and year, gives a price range based on your rules, proposes an open time slot, books the appointment and, when it applies, sends the payment link. Everything is saved in your CRM.

It keeps your brand voice across the whole journey

The key is that the customer never feels a jump. The same tone you used in the reel, the same treatment your shop would give at the counter, carries from the public comment all the way to the close on WhatsApp. It's not a generic bot bolted onto your social accounts: it's your shop answering, just without you having to be there.

The numbers behind why this matters

There's no need to invent metrics to see the size of the problem. Let's run a simple count using figures you can verify just by looking at your own accounts:

  • Say you post content and gather 50 comments and DMs of interest a week asking about price or location.
  • If today you answer maybe 30% of them in time, that's 35 conversations going cold.
  • If one in four of the ones you do handle closes, you're converting roughly 3 or 4 appointments out of 50.

Those 35 conversations that went cold weren't bad customers. They were people who saw your work, liked it, and asked. The only reason they didn't roll into your shop is that nobody got to them in time. It's the cheapest sale there is (you already paid for the content that generated it) and it's exactly the one slipping away.

Now with the agent handling 100% instantly and moving them to WhatsApp, that same volume yields far more appointments, not because people want more, but because you stop losing them along the way. The content you already produce starts paying off.

Why build it with Catalizadora

We work with the MAGIA methodology: Mapping, Architecture, Generation, Implementation and Autonomy. We map how you sell, build the agent in your voice and rules, connect it to your social accounts, your WhatsApp, your calendar and your CRM, tune it against real conversations, and hand it over running on its own.

The core difference: the code, the data and the infrastructure stay 100% in your hands. No retainers, no locked-in licenses. Operations are pass-through, around $200 to $400 USD a month for hosting and AI usage, with no markup from us. You pay what it costs to run the system, nothing more.

What it costs

The entry point for a shop is MAGIA Solo: $4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days. It includes the agent connected to your social accounts and WhatsApp, with booking, payment link and CRM. If your operation is bigger, MAGIA Core is $15,000 and Forge is $20,000 over 12 weeks. Most shops start with Solo.

Your content is already working. It just needs to close.

Shooting the reel is the hard part, and you're already doing it. What's falling through is the last stretch: turning that attention into appointments. That stretch is what the agent automates.

If you want to see it for yourself, message Catalizadora's agent on WhatsApp as if you were a customer who just saw your reel: you'll feel the exact experience yours would. And if you'd rather have a short call to see it applied to your shop, book here: https://cal.com/pablo-estrada-hlqaql.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does the agent reply to the public comments on my posts?

Yes. It replies publicly with a short message in your brand voice and invites the person to continue on WhatsApp, where it can quote, book and charge. That way no "price?" comment goes unanswered.

Why move the conversation to WhatsApp instead of closing on social?

Because social media has no calendar, no payments and no orderly follow-up. WhatsApp is where the agent has every tool to quote, book the appointment, send the payment link and log it all in your CRM.

What does it cost and how soon do I have it?

MAGIA Solo: $4,500 USD delivered in 15 days, with the agent connected to your social accounts and WhatsApp, booking, payment link and CRM. Larger operations: MAGIA Core ($15,000) or Forge ($20,000 over 12 weeks).

Do I have to pay a fixed monthly fee?

No. We don't charge retainers or licenses. You only pay the real operating cost, pass-through at around $200 to $400 USD a month for hosting and AI, with no markup from us. The code and data are 100% yours.

Does it work with the message volume my videos generate?

Yes, that's exactly the point. The agent handles 100% of DMs and comments instantly, no matter the volume, and routes them to WhatsApp. Your content stops being wasted in the comments section.
