The problem it solves

Customers message you on WhatsApp at all hours, and you can't always reply right away. Slow responses lose sales and frustrate people who expect a quick answer.

Who it fits

A small business that handles customer questions or sales over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp
  2. The message is passed to an AI model such as OpenAI
  3. The AI reads the message and writes a natural reply
  4. The reply is sent back to the customer on WhatsApp automatically
What you get

WhatsApp messages answered the moment they arrive

Customers get an instant reply on WhatsApp any time they write in, even when nobody on your team is available.

What you get

An instant, on-brand reply sent to the customer on WhatsApp.

What you need

A WhatsApp business messaging account and an OpenAI API key.

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.
