What ChatGPT can do with your Instagram account
Through the plugin, ChatGPT reads your account, post, Reel, Story and follower data and requests only the fields a question needs. It can also publish to the account and manage comments, and it asks you to confirm each action before it runs.
See who follows you
Followers by age group, gender, country and city come back in one answer. Instagram reports them as they stand today, without a month-by-month history of your audience.
Rank posts by the number you care about
Sort your posts from the last 30 days by views, reach, saves or shares, or by a ratio such as saves per account reached, which ChatGPT works out from Instagram’s numbers.
Check Stories while they are up
For each Story, Instagram reports views, taps forward and back, swipes and exits for 24 hours. Ask before the Story expires, or export Story data to Google Sheets or a warehouse every day.
Find the posts that brought followers
Instagram reports follows per post for images and carousels, and new followers per day for the last 30 days. It does not report follows for Reels; for those, compare new followers on the days each Reel went up.
Publish posts and answer comments
Ask ChatGPT to publish an image, a carousel of 2 to 10 images, a Reel or a Story from a file at a public URL. On your own posts it can reply to, hide, unhide or delete comments, including other people’s. It shows you each action and waits for your OK. A deleted comment can’t be restored.
Example: who follows our Instagram account
For the question “Who follows our Instagram account? Break our followers down by age group, gender and top 5 countries”, ChatGPT pulled the follower breakdowns from Instagram through the Windsor.ai plugin. On 20 October 2026, Instagram reported demographics for 210 of the 228 followers of @windsor.ai:
- Age: 35 to 44 is the largest group, with 93 of the 210 (44%), followed by 25 to 34 with 64 (30%).
- Gender: 118 men, 61 women and 31 unspecified.
- Countries: Brazil and the United States tie at 31 followers each, followed by India (16), Spain (13) and the United Kingdom (12). Together these five hold 103 of the 210.
Our followers come from 39 countries in total. Instagram gives these breakdowns as a current snapshot; saving a copy each month is the way to see the audience change over time.
Second example: which posts brought followers
We asked ChatGPT, through the Windsor.ai plugin: “For my Instagram account ME.Beats (m.e.beats), rank our last 10 posts by the number of follows each post brought. Show each post’s publish date, follows, reach and profile visits. Which posts brought the most followers?” ME.Beats is the account’s earlier name; Windsor.ai still lists it that way. The Kallm (@thekallm) is our music account; its last 10 posts are carousels published from 5 March to 26 August 2026.
- Follows (media_follows): the 10 posts brought 21 follows. Three posts brought 17 of them: 5 March (7 follows), 23 March (6) and 17 April (4). Four posts brought none.
- Reach and profile visits (media_reach, media_profile_visits): the top two also had the most profile visits, 33 and 31, from 832 and 710 accounts reached. The six posts from June to August reached 186 to 363 accounts each and brought 4 follows in total.
Instagram does not count follows and profile visits per post for Reels. A second question in the same chat listed the raw rows, and the same data pulled from Windsor.ai directly gave the same values. Prompts that cover more than 30 days need a paid plan. The free forever plan includes the last 30 days.
Available actions

Publish a multi-image carousel post to a connected Instagram Business or Creator account. Provide 2 to 10 publicly accessible image URLs (JPEG, at most 8 MB each, aspect ratio between 4:5 and 1.91:1) and an optional caption; images are shown in the given order. Video carousel items are not supported. For other formats use create_image_post, create_video_post or create_story.
Create Comment
Post a comment on a media object (post, reel) of a connected Instagram Business or Creator account. media_id is an Instagram media object id, as returned by the media_id read field. The comment is public and is attributed to the account. Comments on live videos are not supported, and the media must have comments enabled.
Create Image Post
Publish a single image post (feed photo) to a connected Instagram Business or Creator account. Provide a publicly accessible image URL and an optional caption. The image must be a JPEG, at most 8 MB, with an aspect ratio between 4:5 and 1.91:1. For other formats use create_video_post, create_story or create_carousel_post.

The cover image defaults to the first frame and can be overridden with either cover_url (a publicly accessible JPEG URL) or thumb_offset (frame position in milliseconds), but not both. share_to_feed controls whether the Reel also appears in the main feed (Instagram defaults to showing it there). For other formats use create_image_post, create_story or create_carousel_post.

Select your data source
Choose Instagram as your data source, click Authorize via Instagram (or Connect with Facebook instead) and select your Instagram Business or Creator account.
Install the Windsor.ai plugin
In ChatGPT, select Plugins in the sidebar and search for Windsor.ai, or open the Windsor.ai plugin page.
Select Install plugin, then sign in to Windsor.ai and authorize access. We set this up on ChatGPT’s Free plan.
Query your Instagram data in ChatGPT
Open a new chat and start asking questions about your connected Instagram data using natural language.

FAQs
Which Windsor.ai plugin should I install?
Install the one called Windsor.ai. It covers Instagram and 350+ other sources, and it can publish posts and manage comments. The Windsor.ai Instagram plugin is limited to organic Instagram analytics: it does not publish or moderate comments.
How do I connect Instagram to ChatGPT?
Click Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, search for Windsor.ai and click Install plugin. Sign in to Windsor.ai and authorize your Instagram Business or Creator account. In a new chat, type @Windsor.ai, pick the plugin and ask your question. The step-by-step guide has screenshots of each step.
Can ChatGPT post to Instagram?
Yes, with the Windsor.ai plugin. ChatGPT can publish a single image, a carousel of 2 to 10 images, a video (published by Instagram as a Reel) or a Story, using files at a public URL. It asks you to confirm before anything is published. See the write actions list.
Can ChatGPT reply to and moderate comments on my Instagram posts?
Yes. On your own posts, ChatGPT can add a comment, reply to one, hide or unhide one, and delete one, including comments other people wrote. A hidden comment can be shown again; a deleted one is gone for good.
Can ChatGPT watch my Instagram Reels?
No. The plugin does not pass the video itself. ChatGPT works from each Reel’s caption, comments and numbers: views, reach, saves, shares, average watch time and the share of views skipped in the first 3 seconds.
Can I analyze Instagram ads in ChatGPT?
Yes, through the Facebook Ads connector, because Instagram ads are bought in Meta Ads Manager. Spend, clicks and results come from your Meta ad account, and the Ad Platform field tells Instagram ads apart from Facebook ads. The Instagram connector itself covers organic content and followers.
Can I connect several Instagram accounts for different brands?
Yes. Authorize each Instagram account in Windsor.ai, and ChatGPT can compare them in one conversation. How many accounts you can connect depends on your plan; see pricing.
Can ChatGPT show how my followers grew over the past year?
Not from Instagram alone. Instagram gives today’s follower total, and new followers per day for the last 30 days on accounts with 100 or more followers. For a longer record, export the numbers to Google Sheets or a warehouse each day, as in the Instagram follower tracking dashboard.
Can ChatGPT analyze a competitor's Instagram account?
Yes, through the Instagram Public connector, which reads public profiles without a login: posts with their like and comment counts, and the follower count. Only the account owner can see reach, saves and other private numbers. See Instagram Public to ChatGPT.
Is connecting Instagram to ChatGPT free?
Yes. The free forever plan includes one data source and the last 30 days of data, and no credit card is needed. Adding a second source, such as GA4, Shopify or your Meta ads, needs a paid plan, from $19 a month for 3 sources, billed annually. See pricing.
Is my Instagram data used to train ChatGPT?
It depends on your ChatGPT plan. OpenAI does not train on data from ChatGPT business workspaces (Business, Enterprise and Edu) by default. On Free, Plus and Pro, you can turn off “Improve the model for everyone” under Data controls. Instagram data that ChatGPT reads through the plugin becomes part of the conversation.
Can I use my Instagram data in Claude or Gemini Enterprise?
Yes. Windsor.ai is in Claude’s connector directory; see connect Instagram to Claude. In Gemini Enterprise, Windsor.ai is added as a data store; see how to connect Instagram to Gemini Enterprise.
