Customers no longer fill in forms to ask a question; they send a WhatsApp message and expect a fast reply. When a “do you have this in stock?” message that arrived at 7 pm is answered the next morning, the customer has usually bought elsewhere. A WhatsApp assistant bot makes sure no message goes unanswered.
The assistants we build are designed to be very good in a narrow, useful area: opening hours, prices and campaigns, shipping and order status, appointment booking, address and directions. The bot answers these instantly and accurately; on topics it does not know or that are sensitive, it does not invent an answer but hands the conversation to an agent. For businesses serving tourists, expats or several markets, the same assistant can reply in the customer’s own language.
The hand-over mechanism is the most important part of the project. When a customer says “I want to talk to a person”, or the bot fails to understand twice, the chat goes to the right team with its full history, so the customer never has to repeat themselves.
