The problem it solves

Customers expect fast replies on WhatsApp, but you can't watch your phone around the clock. Messages pile up after hours or when your team is busy, and slow responses cost you sales and trust.

Who it fits

Small businesses that handle customer questions and support over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp
  2. The AI reads the message and recalls the recent conversation history
  3. It writes a natural, on-brand reply
  4. The reply is sent back through WhatsApp
What you get

Customers who get an answer at 2am

Your customers get a natural, on-brand reply to their WhatsApp questions any time of day or night.

What you get

An instant, conversational reply sent back to the customer on WhatsApp.

What you need

A WhatsApp number connected through WAHA and an Azure OpenAI 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.
