Frequently asked questions

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?

To automate at scale, yes. We help with number setup, templates and integration with your systems.

Does it connect to my store or current system?

Yes. We connect to your e-commerce, ERP or inventory system through an API or a custom integration, and validate it in the diagnostic.

How long does a pilot take?

We define it in the diagnostic based on your systems and volume. The goal is a measurable pilot, not a demo.

Does the agent replace my sales team?

No, it boosts it. The agent handles the repetitive work and your team keeps the conversations that need human judgment.
