The problem it solves

Customers expect fast answers on WhatsApp about branches, menus, orders, and complaints, but staffing someone to reply around the clock isn't realistic. Slow replies lose sales and frustrate customers who just want a quick answer.

Who it fits

A retail, food and beverage, or e-commerce business that handles customer support over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. Receives an incoming WhatsApp message
  2. AI classifies what the customer is asking about, such as location, menu, order status, or complaint
  3. Looks up the relevant answer from your CRM in real time
  4. AI writes a friendly, on-brand reply
  5. Sends the reply back to the customer on WhatsApp
What you get

Customer questions answered without staff typing a reply

You get customers greeted and answered on WhatsApp any time of day, using details already sitting in your CRM.

What you get

An instant, accurate WhatsApp reply tailored to the customer's specific question.

What you need

A WhatsApp business connection, an OpenAI account, and a CRM with API access.

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.
