birdhouses/instabot — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Python tool for managing Instagram accounts with automation, mainly something I can open in a small GUI, add one or more accounts, save everything into a config.json file, and then run the bots at the same time.

I want it to handle scheduled or daily posting, story uploads, sending DMs to a list of usernames, follow and unfollow actions, and commenting on recent posts for a chosen hashtag using a list of preset comments. It should also support downloading a few posts from a public account into a local folder. For posts and stories, let me point to a folder of images or videos, choose how many to upload per day, add a caption, and optionally delete files after upload.

Please make the GUI easy enough for a non technical person to use, but also keep a way to run it from the command line. If possible, support optional proxies from a text file too. Add a clear warning that Instagram may limit or ban accounts for automation.
