You’re already seeing the early version of what you’re talking about: Meta’s AI in IG/FB, YouTube’s AI editing tools, and a bunch of bot builders for WhatsApp/Quora. Over the next couple years, the “free” stuff on big platforms will get better, but it’ll always be tuned to keep people on their app, not to grow your specific brand.
If you want your own trainable bots, I’d look at things like ManyChat, Botpress, and then tools like Pulse for Reddit for actually spotting where real conversations are happening and what people care about. The trick isn’t just “have an AI,” it’s feeding it your own data: your FAQs, comments, DMs, email replies, product docs, etc., and then testing it in small loops.
People only trust AI when it’s transparent and predictable, so set clear boundaries: what it knows, what it doesn’t, and when a human steps in. That matters way more than whether it’s free.
