The problem it solves

Your support team gets flooded with the same WhatsApp questions over and over, and it's hard to know which messages need a real person versus a quick answer. Sensitive complaints sometimes get missed in the noise until a customer is already frustrated.

Who it fits

Customer support teams handling inquiries over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp
  2. AI checks the message against your support knowledge base
  3. Simple, low-risk questions get answered right away
  4. Sensitive issues or complaints automatically create a Jira ticket
  5. The customer receives either an instant reply or a ticket reference
What you get

Routine questions answered around the clock

Routine WhatsApp questions get answered immediately, while anything sensitive is automatically turned into a ticket for your team.

What you get

An instant WhatsApp reply for routine questions, or a tracked Jira ticket for anything that needs a person.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, an AI model account, and a Jira account.

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.
