Connect Instagram Public to ChatGPT

Yes, if it is a public Business or Creator account. Windsor.ai reads its profile counts and posts through Meta’s API, and ChatGPT queries that data through the Windsor.ai plugin. Private accounts, most personal accounts and age-gated accounts return no data.

No. Meta’s official MCP servers cover Meta Ads, developer tools and WhatsApp Business, and none reads organic or public Instagram data (Meta’s MCP servers). In ChatGPT’s Plugins directory, public profiles are covered by third-party plugins: the Windsor.ai plugin, the separate Windsor.ai Instagram Public plugin, which reads public profile data only, and other vendors’ apps such as Minter.io, which answers from Minter.io’s own competitor reports.

With Windsor.ai, you have access to 42 metrics and dimensions, including Like counts, Comment counts, and Media types (Image, Video, Carousel, Reel).

No. The Instagram Public connector returns the number of comments on each public post, not the comment text, so ChatGPT cannot categorize comments into positive, negative, or neutral sentiment.

Yes. Analyze public Instagram data from influencers and competitor accounts to compare engagement rates, identify high-performing content formats, and evaluate which creators drive the most interaction. This helps you shortlist the right influencers, understand what content works in your niche, and make more informed partnership decisions.

Yes. Windsor.ai can connect both sources at the same time. With your own account’s private metrics (such as reach and story exits) and competitors’ public likes and comments in the same ChatGPT chat, you can compare your account with theirs. Combining sources needs a paid plan. The free forever plan includes 1 data source.

To gain deeper insights from Instagram Public data, use more advanced prompts such as:

• Compare my internal 'Average Reach' from Instagram Insights with the public 'Engagement Rate' of [Competitor A] and [Competitor B]. If their engagement-to-follower ratio is higher than mine, analyze their last 5 posts and tell me what content themes they are using that I am currently missing.

• Analyze the likes and comments on each post from [Influencer] in the last 30 days. Flag any post where likes spiked without a matching rise in comments, and say how consistent their engagement is from post to post.

• Compare the posting frequency vs. average engagement for [Competitor A, B, and C]. Who is the most 'efficient' creator (highest engagement with the fewest posts)? Describe their content style and suggest a posting schedule that allows me to match their results with less manual effort.

Prompts that cover more than 30 days, combine sources or compare more than one profile need a paid plan. The free forever plan includes the last 30 days, 1 data source and 1 account.

No. The Instagram Public connector has no write actions (write actions list). The Windsor.ai plugin can post and comment only on accounts you own, through connectors that support it, such as Instagram, and ChatGPT asks you to confirm each action first.

Windsor.ai has a free forever plan, no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19/month, billed annually, and scale by the number of sources and accounts. See the pricing page.

The setup takes a few minutes and needs no code.

We set this up on ChatGPT’s Free plan. OpenAI says plugin availability depends on your plan, region, workspace and the ChatGPT interface you use, and in a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace an admin can turn plugins on or off.
