This is actually one of the better tools Ive used with within the DM automation space. Works great

It’s really hard to cold-start on IG. I used to spend hours looking at user profiles and writing private messages one by one, which was inefficient and easy to be throttled by the system. If this product is really good, I will be very happy.
Just tested Howdy, and the difference is real, DMs feel like me without me spending hours. Being able to pull bio/post context into each message is such a game-changer for anyone tired of generic outreach tools.
Congrats on the launch, Brandon and team! Cool product, will check it out. I actually have influencer outreach through cold DMs planned as part of our GTM campaign so this comes at a right time.
I just signed up but unable to add my Instagram handle. It says "Error fetching IG user. Kindly try again"

@uxyemi Hi Yemi 👋
Thanks for supporting the launch! Would love to see your campaign in Howdy. We noticed Instagram outage for few hours today, that might be coming from their side. Can you give it another try and we will help quicker over email: notifications@sayhowdy.co

@uxyemi Just checked with our engineer, you need to install Howdy extension - just follow the steps from the Get started onboarding page.
@ngorgiashvili OK will follow the steps and install the extension first. Didn't know they were successive steps. Thanks
Howdy seems to be like a great tool that helps users become more confident when connecting with others. Congrats on the launch!
Since this allows me to send a warm dm, here's one. Would love to get in contact with one of the team members of this product. I think Howdy deserves more attention on social media, let's connect. YEEHAW

How would you be able to use this to reach out to PMs?

@spshulem, an easy way to navigate to product-related posts is by searching for a hashtag on Instagram, such as #PRD, etc. You won't get the same volume as someone posting #TBT, but that's not the point.
Collect everyone who has posted with that hashtag using howdy + everyone who engaged with those posts that way, and you can start building your list. Now, the filtering and profile matching occur at the campaign level, which is where you can be as specific as you wish, considering we will be pairing you with your target lead.
At that point you'll likely be narrowing down a list of 600 to 50 or 60 and our magic dm will curate a personalized messages based on your prompt and their profile. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for supporting the launch and h/t to @chrismessina for inventing the hashtag so we can do what we do :)
