Build · WhatsApp AI concierge

Answer every WhatsApp. Even at 11pm.

WhatsApp is how South Africa does business. We put an assistant on your business number that answers routine questions in your voice, captures the details of every enquiry, and hands anything that matters to a person with the whole conversation in front of them.

Why it matters

The same forty questions, every single day.

Volume

Your best people answer FAQs

Prices, hours, directions, availability. Important to the customer, repetitive for your team, and usually answered by whoever should be doing something else.

Speed

Slow replies lose sales

An enquiry that waits until morning has often gone to the competitor who answered first.

Handover

Bots that trap people are worse

The assistant is built to hand over early, not to keep a frustrated customer talking to a machine.

How it runs

Weeks 2–3

Platform and assistant

Set up the official WhatsApp Business Platform and build the assistant against your content.

Weeks 3–4

Routing and testing

Build handover, test against real past questions, and fix what it gets wrong.

Weeks 4–6

Launch and tune

Go live, watch every conversation for the first weeks, and tune.

A good fit

Questions

Things people ask.

Will customers know it is automated?

They should, and we recommend saying so plainly. Customers are comfortable with a fast, honest assistant. They are not comfortable being misled.

Can it take bookings or payments?

Bookings, yes, through an integration with your booking system. Payments are best handled with a secure payment link the assistant sends.

Can we keep using our existing number?

Usually, yes, although moving a number onto the WhatsApp Business Platform has steps we walk you through first.

A 30-minute call is enough to tell whether this is the right build, and whether you should start with an audit instead.
