The problem it solves

Customers message you on WhatsApp expecting a fast answer, but you're busy running the business and replies pile up. Group chats make it even harder to keep track of who asked what. Important questions get missed or answered hours later.

Who it fits

A small business or support team that handles customer questions over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message on WhatsApp, in a direct chat or a group
  2. The AI reads the message and checks your Google Docs knowledge base for the answer
  3. The AI writes a reply in your business's tone using OpenAI or Gemini
  4. The reply is sent back on WhatsApp automatically
What you get

WhatsApp questions answered outside business hours

Customers messaging you on WhatsApp get an instant reply pulled from your own business documents.

What you get

An instant, accurate WhatsApp reply to the customer without anyone typing it.

What you need

A WhatsApp business number, a Google Docs account, and an OpenAI or Gemini 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.
