An AI agent moves them to WhatsApp, qualifies them and closes the enrollment. Here's how. ## The “info?” comments are enrollments slipping away You post the reel for your new course. It works: two hundred comments asking for the price, dates, whether there's a certificate, “interested,” “info please.” Your DM inbox fills up. And you — who also teach, record content and run the academy — can't answer even half of them. By the time you reply the next day, most people don't even remember they messaged you. Every one of those comments and messages is a person who raised their hand. For online academies and course creators, that's the hottest moment in the funnel — and it's exactly where the most leaks happen. Not from a lack of interest, but from a lack of hands to answer in time and in the right channel. At Catalizadora we build an AI agent that picks up that interest where it happens — your social comments and DMs — and moves it into a WhatsApp conversation where the sale actually closes. ## Why WhatsApp is where it closes, not Instagram DMs on Instagram, TikTok or Facebook are great for people to ask, but poor for selling. Notifications get buried, messages from new accounts fall into “requests,” and the conversation breaks. No one checks their DMs with the same attention they give WhatsApp. WhatsApp is the channel where people actually reply. So the play isn't to answer inside the social network — it's to move the conversation to WhatsApp as fast as possible, with no friction, and carry the student all the way to payment there. ### How the agent works, step by step 1. **It detects interest.** Someone comments “price” or sends a DM asking about the program. 2. **It replies and opens the bridge.** The agent answers in your academy's voice and moves the conversation to WhatsApp naturally, without sounding like a robot. 3. **It qualifies.** On WhatsApp it asks what they want, their level, their schedule, their budget. It separates the curious from the ready. 4. **It books or sells.** If your process needs a call, it books it. If the student is decided, it sends the payment link. 5. **It logs to the CRM.** Every lead — with its source (which reel, which campaign), its status and its history — lands neatly in your CRM. That last point matters more than it seems. When you know Tuesday's reel produced thirty conversations and eight enrollments, you stop guessing which content sells and start repeating what works. ### The public comment counts too There's a detail many academies overlook. When someone comments “price?” on your reel and no one answers, everyone else sees that silence. It looks like the academy isn't paying attention — or worse, like there's no one on the other side. But when every comment gets a quick, warm reply that invites the person to continue on WhatsApp, the rest of your followers notice: there's activity, there's a response, there's trust. The public conversation works in your favor even with people who haven't messaged yet. The agent can handle that first public touch and open the private conversation at the same time. It's not only about recovering leads; it's about projecting an academy that responds — which is exactly the signal a student looks for before paying to learn from you. ## The comparison, with numbers Picture a launch that generates 300 comments and DMs in one week. Answering by hand, between classes and to-dos, you reach maybe half, and many of them late. Say that out of those 150, you close 15 enrollments. The other 150 people never got a reply — real interest that evaporated. With an agent, all 300 get a reply in seconds, all routed to their WhatsApp, all qualified. I won't promise a magic close rate because it depends on your offer and price, but the arithmetic is simple: where before only the interest you managed to touch could convert, now all the interest you were already generating can. The ad and content spend you already make goes much further, because it stops leaking at the “asked but nobody answered” step. ## We build it, hand it over, and it's yours We use the MAGIA methodology: Mapping your funnel from comment to payment, Architecting the agent and CRM, Generating it, Implementing it across your channels, and Autonomy. For an academy, the entry point is **MAGIA Solo: 4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days** — AI agent, capture of DMs and comments into WhatsApp, and CRM. For something bigger, **MAGIA Core is 15,000 USD** and **Forge is 20,000 USD over 12 weeks**. And as always at Catalizadora: **the code, the data and the infrastructure are 100% yours.** No retainers, no tied licenses. The operation runs as pass-through, between 200 and 400 USD a month in hosting and tokens, with no markup from us. As for making you more visible when someone searches for your topic, that lives in a proprietary technical layer; you just get the outcome. ## The next step Look at your last reel with a wall of comments asking for info. Every one of those was a possible student. How many did you answer in time. Message our AI agent on WhatsApp — you'll see exactly how it would pick up the interest from your socials and carry it to the close.

It detects interest in your comments and DMs and moves the conversation to WhatsApp, where people actually reply and where the sale closes. There it qualifies and sends the payment link. ### Do I lose track of which content generated each lead? No. Each lead lands in your CRM with its source — which reel or campaign produced it — its status and its history, so you can repeat the content that actually sells. ### How much does it cost and when is it running? MAGIA Solo: 4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days, with agent, capture of DMs and comments into WhatsApp, and CRM. Bigger options: MAGIA Core at 15,000 USD and Forge at 20,000 USD over 12 weeks. ### Who owns the system? You do, 100%: code, data and infrastructure. No retainers, no tied licenses. The operation is pass-through, around 200 to 400 USD a month, with no markup from us. --- Source: https://catalizadora.ai/blog/turn-social-dms-and-comments-into-whatsapp-sales-academy Author: Pablo Estrada — AI Catalyst, LLC (catalizadora.ai)
