Everyone else gets a polite, useful answer. SetLuca is a DM setter for consultants that replies to new DMs the way you write, follows up with leads who go quiet, and books the call. Auto-send is on by default. Switch any channel to review and its replies wait for your approval. Live on Telegram, Instagram, and Messenger; WhatsApp is coming soon. ## A conversation with consultants' leads An example Messenger thread, drawn on the page. Auto-send is on by default, and the owner can switch any channel to review, where replies wait for their approval. **Marcus Reid:** Hi, can we book a call about your consulting? **SetLuca:** Hi Marcus, happy to. So I can make the call useful: how big is your team, and what's the main problem you want solved this quarter? **Marcus Reid:** 12 people. Our close rate dropped from 30% to 18% this year. **SetLuca:** That's exactly the work I do. Here are two times this week for a 30-minute call. *Call booked - Tue 3:00 PM* ## Sound familiar? Leads write while you're busy. And wait until you're free to answer. 1. **The wrong people book.** A "quick chat" with someone who can't afford you costs you an hour and a good mood. 2. **Screening by hand is slow.** Asking the same three questions in every DM takes days of back-and-forth. 3. **Good leads wait too.** The serious buyer who messaged at 9pm hears back the next afternoon. ## What SetLuca does for you It learns from replies you've already sent, so every reply is written the way you write. Cues it picks up: full sentences; first name, no emoji; direct questions; calm tone. 1. **Asks your questions.** Team size, budget, timeline: in conversation, not a form. 2. **Books only the fit.** People who match your rules get your calendar. Others get a kind answer and a resource. 3. **Briefs you.** Before the call: what they said, why they qualified, and the likely objection. 4. **Logs the outcome.** After the call, mark it won, lost, or not a fit, and the report learns. - **Review any channel, any time.** Auto-send is on by default. Switch a channel to review and its replies wait for you. - **Written the way you write.** Learned from your own replies, not from a script somebody else wrote. - **Your account stays safe.** Official APIs, replies only. Never cold outreach. - Your questions, asked first - A brief before every call - Messenger, Instagram, Telegram ## What changes on an ordinary day An example day, not a promise. - **9:12 PM:** A founder asks about working with you. - **9:15 PM:** SetLuca asks your three questions, in your words. - **9:31 PM:** They fit. Tuesday 3:00 PM is booked. - **Tue 2:45 PM:** You read the brief: team of 12, close rate down, budget approved. - **Tue 3:30 PM:** You log the outcome in one tap. ## Try it on the first message from someone who wasn't a fit.

Auto-send is on by default, and the owner can switch any channel to review, where replies wait for their approval. The names, prices, and details in them are made up. ### @intro.from.a.client **They said:** hey, Alex mentioned you helped their team with a similar project, do you have room for new clients? **SetLuca's reply:** good to hear from Alex, glad that landed well. yes, I've got room this quarter. what's the project you're looking at? ### @scoping.a.project **They said:** how do your engagements usually work, is it hourly or project-based? **SetLuca's reply:** project-based, scoped to what you need, not hours. most start with a short discovery call so I can quote it properly, want to grab 20 minutes? ### @budget.check **They said:** what's the ballpark for something like this? **SetLuca's reply:** depends on scope, but engagements like this usually land in the $8k-$15k range once we've scoped it. want to hop on a call so I can give you a real number instead of a guess? ## Why do consultants run SetLuca? 1. **Your questions get asked first.** Team size, budget, timeline: SetLuca asks the screening questions you'd ask, in conversation rather than a form, before it offers a single time. "What's included?" gets how you've described your process before, not a vague pitch. 2. **Referrals get credited and answered fast.** A referral deserves a reply before the introduction goes cold. SetLuca sends one within minutes, the way you write, whether you're in back-to-back client calls or off the clock. 3. **Everyone else still gets a kind answer.** A lead who doesn't fit gets a polite, useful reply, such as a resource or a lower-cost option you choose, and no call link. Your calendar keeps its hours for the people who can work with you. ## How does SetLuca work for consultants? 1. **Connect a channel.** Connect Telegram, Instagram, or Messenger today; WhatsApp is coming soon. SetLuca starts with new messages after connection. 2. **SetLuca replies, you stay in control.** SetLuca replies to a consultant's DMs within minutes, the way you write. Auto-send is on by default. Switch any channel to review and its replies wait for your approval. 3. **The call gets booked.** Once a lead qualifies, SetLuca offers your real calendar and books the call. ## What consultants ask us ### Can I set rules for who gets my calendar? Yes. You set the questions and what a good answer looks like, and SetLuca asks them in conversation before it offers any times. Only leads who meet your rules see your booking times. Everyone else gets a reply but no call link, and you can change the rules whenever you like. ### What happens to people who aren't a fit? They get a polite, useful reply, written the way you write, such as a free resource or a lower-cost option you choose. They don't get a call link, so your calendar stays for the people you can actually help. The whole thread stays in your inbox if you want to step in yourself. ### Does it work with Calendly? Yes. SetLuca offers real open times through Calendly, Cal.com, or Google Calendar, and only to leads who clear your bar. Before each call it briefs you on what they said, why they qualified, and the objection to expect, so you walk in knowing the story instead of rereading the thread. ### Will the replies match the way I write? Yes. It learns from replies you've already sent, so if you write in full sentences with no emoji, so does it. Paste a few of your best replies to start, and every edit you make afterwards teaches it more. Switch any channel to review if you want to read each reply first. ### A referral says someone else recommended me. Does SetLuca credit that properly? Yes. It sends a reply that acknowledges the referral by name, the way you would, within minutes, so the introduction doesn't sit cold while you're in client work. If you'd rather read referral replies yourself, switch that channel to review and approve each one before it goes out. ### My engagements are scoped case by case. Does SetLuca invent a price when someone asks? No. It answers with how you've actually priced and scoped engagements before, and asks the qualifying question you'd ask rather than quoting a guess. Every reply passes a critic check for made-up prices before it sends, and the real quote stays yours, usually after a discovery call. ## Playbooks for consultants - [How to Get Consulting Clients Online](https://setluca.com/blog/ai-setter-for-consultants/index.md): How to get consulting clients online: lead generation for consultants through DMs, scope-safe replies, a worked script, and when to review before sending. - [How to Get Freelance Clients via Cold DM (2026)](https://setluca.com/blog/how-to-get-freelance-clients-via-cold-dm/index.md): How to get freelance clients via cold DM: trigger-based targeting, three named openers, the two-touch follow-up, and the $800 written-contract rule.
