The problem it solves

You can't watch WhatsApp all day, so leads go cold while you're busy with everything else. Every new inquiry means digging through old chats to remember what was already said, and leads slip through the cracks because nothing gets written down.

Who it fits

A small business that handles sales or support over WhatsApp, like a local shop, real estate agent, or service provider.

How it works

  1. A new WhatsApp message triggers the system
  2. It pulls up that customer's past conversation history
  3. An AI model reads the history and message, then writes a reply
  4. The conversation and the reply are saved to a spreadsheet, and the lead's contact info is recorded
  5. The AI reply is sent back to the customer automatically
What you get

Every WhatsApp lead answered and logged

Customer questions on WhatsApp get an immediate AI response, and every conversation and lead is saved automatically to your spreadsheet.

What you get

A logged conversation history, a captured lead record, and an instant AI-written reply sent to the customer.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business API account, Google Sheets, and a server able to run a local AI model.

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.
