The Problem

Small businesses cannot staff a support team 24/7. Customers message on WhatsApp and wait hours for replies. Urgent issues like returns and complaints get buried in a stream of routine questions.

How It Works

1

Message Received

Customer sends a WhatsApp message — bot receives it instantly via webhook

2

AI Reply

AI reads the message against the business context and generates a relevant, accurate reply

3

Intent Detection

System detects if the message contains urgent intent — return requests, complaints, broken items

4

Auto Reply

Routine queries get an instant AI response — no human needed

5

Manager Alert

Urgent messages trigger an immediate Discord or Slack alert to the manager with the full message

Key Features

Context-Aware AI Replies

Bot answers based on your actual business information — not generic responses.

Urgency Detection

Returns, complaints, and broken item reports are flagged and escalated instantly.

Manager Alerts

Urgent messages hit Discord or Slack immediately — manager never misses a critical issue.

24/7 Operation

Customers get instant replies at any hour without any human staffing.

Results & Impact

  • 100% of routine queries answered instantly without human involvement
  • Urgent issues escalated to manager in under 30 seconds

  • Manager only handles escalations — not routine questions
