The problem it solves

Customers message you on WhatsApp with questions, photos of a problem, and even PDFs, and someone on your team has to read, understand, and respond to each one by hand. Support requests come at all hours and pile up fast.

Who it fits

Businesses handling customer support over WhatsApp with a mix of text, images, and documents.

How it works

  1. A customer sends a WhatsApp message, whether text, voice, image, or document
  2. AI figures out what type of message it is and reads or transcribes it
  3. AI checks your product docs and knowledge base for the answer
  4. AI replies to the customer on WhatsApp with a relevant answer
  5. The conversation and any issue are logged for your team
What you get

Customer messages answered without you touching WhatsApp

Customers get instant answers on WhatsApp whether they send text, voice notes, images, or files.

What you get

An instant WhatsApp reply to the customer and a logged record of the conversation.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business API connection, an AI API key, and a Google Workspace 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.
