The problem
In your words
- My WhatsApp is full of the same questions, and I answer them one by one.
- Messages that come in late wait until morning.
- I answer customers from my own phone, between everything else.
An example, not a customer
An example home bakery in Kochi
A home bakery in the WhatsApp pilot, on a number our team connected. The bakery is made up, to show how the jobs fit together. Every step here uses WhatsApp, which is a pilot.
9:05 am
Answers a price question
A customer asks the price of a 1 kg eggless cake and whether the bakery delivers to Kakkanad. The agent says it is an AI and answers from the price list and delivery areas.
9:06 am
Reads quick messages together
The customer sends two more messages while the agent is still writing. It reads them together and answers both in its next reply.
11:30 am
Hands over a custom design
A customer sends a photo of a cake design. The agent can't look at photos yet, so it says the team will check and hands the conversation over.
11:45 am
Replies with the owner's price
The owner writes the agent a private note with the price for that design. The agent replies to the customer in its own words, on WhatsApp.
Next day, 4:00 pm

Answer customers on WhatsApp
PilotYour agent or workforce replies on a WhatsApp number our team connects, from your own knowledge, in the customer's language. Its first reply says it is an AI.
How it worksApprovals inside WhatsApp's 24 hours
PilotReplies set to ask first wait in Tasks. WhatsApp accepts a normal reply only within 24 hours of the customer's last message, so approve in time, or let it go ahead after a few hours.
How it worksSend an approved template after 24 hours
PilotFrom the task page, with its values filled in. During the pilot, our team creates templates with you, and each one has to be approved before you can send it.
How it worksSTOP and START
PilotA customer who replies STOP gets one confirmation and no more messages from your number. START turns replies back on.
How it worksA wa.me link, a QR code and delivery ticks
PilotShare the link or print the QR code at your counter. Each reply shows Sent, Delivered, Read, or Not delivered with the reason.
How it worksShare your chat link on WhatsApp

Before you decide
Good to know
- It's a pilot for a small number of workspaces. Our team connects the number; you can't connect your own from the app yet.
- The agent can't look at photos customers send yet. It sees that a photo arrived, with any caption. Voice notes and videos are noted, not played.
- We don't send bulk offer messages. The agent answers the customers who write to you.
- Since 1 October 2026, WhatsApp charges for replies too: about ₹0.18 a reply in credits, on top of the AI that writes it.
- It doesn't answer Instagram DMs or phone calls.
