The problem it solves

You want to send a customer a photo, like a receipt, a product image, or a visual reminder, but doing it manually means switching to your phone and typing it out one message at a time. There's no easy way to trigger a picture text as part of a bigger process.

Who it fits

Small businesses that want to send photo or image messages, like receipts or product photos, directly to customers' phones.

How it works

  1. You trigger the send with the phone number and image you want to deliver
  2. The system connects to your messaging account
  3. It sends the image as a text message to the recipient
  4. The message is delivered directly to their phone
What you get

Photos delivered straight to a customer's phone

You can send a photo straight to any customer's phone, like a receipt or product picture, without opening a texting app.

What you get

A picture text message delivered to a customer's phone.

What you need

A Plivo account with a phone number capable of sending MMS.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
