What you can ask
Open the Zed assistant panel. Ask: show me today's hot leads across Instagram and WhatsApp. Zed lists them ranked by lead temperature. Reply inline. No tab switching.
Your AI Brain holds your pricing, tone, and FAQs. Tell Zed to draft a reply for a specific chat. It reads the conversation history and writes a reply that sounds like you.
Ask: close every chat tagged spam by Troll Shield. Zed makes the API calls, confirms the count, and your inbox is clean. One prompt. No dashboard clicking.
Why InstantReply
Most teams bolt five tools together and still miss leads. InstantReply ships all of it in one inbox your Zed can call directly.
