The problem it solves

Customers message your Facebook Page at all hours, and you can't always reply right away. Slow responses mean lost interest and missed sales.

Who it fits

Small businesses that field customer questions through Facebook Messenger.

How it works

  1. Receives a new message on your Facebook Page
  2. Detects whether it's text, an image, or a voice note
  3. AI reads and interprets the message
  4. AI answers, calculates, or looks up information as needed
  5. Sends the reply back to the customer on Messenger
What you get

Messenger replies sent without you typing

Your customers get instant replies on Messenger, whether they type a question, send a photo, or leave a voice note.

What you get

An automatic, relevant reply sent to the customer inside Messenger.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a Facebook Page 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.
