The problem it solves

Customers message your pet shop on WhatsApp asking about food, grooming, or bathing availability at all hours, and you can't always respond right away. Slow replies mean lost sales to shops that answer faster. Handling every routine question yourself leaves less time for the customers who need real help.

Who it fits

Pet shops or pet service businesses that handle customer inquiries over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp about a product or service
  2. The system figures out whether it's a product question, a service question, or something else
  3. It looks up the answer from your product and service information
  4. It replies to the customer directly on WhatsApp
  5. If the question needs a human touch, it's handed off to your staff
What you get

Customer questions answered around the clock

Your pet shop customers get quick answers to product and service questions on WhatsApp, any time of day.

What you get

Instant, accurate replies to routine customer questions, with harder ones routed to a person.

What you need

A WhatsApp business messaging account and a database of your products and services.

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.
