The problem it solves

You or your team keep answering the same WhatsApp questions over and over. Hiring for round-the-clock coverage or paying for the official WhatsApp Business API is out of budget. Customers expect a fast reply and you can't always give one.

Who it fits

Freelancers and small businesses handling customer support over a personal WhatsApp number.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a message to your WhatsApp number
  2. The system checks your Google Sheet of FAQs and training data
  3. AI drafts a reply based on that information
  4. The reply is sent back to the customer automatically
  5. The customer's support status is updated in your records
What you get

Common questions answered while you handle the rest

Customers get instant answers on WhatsApp pulled from your own FAQ sheet, day or night.

What you get

Instant, on-brand WhatsApp replies to customers, with each conversation logged.

What you need

A WhatsApp number connected through a messaging API service, an OpenAI API key, and Google Sheets.

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.
