Use case

WhatsApp customer service automation with AI, 24 hours a day

An AI agent answers customers on WhatsApp at any time, checks the order status in your system and hands the conversation to a person when the subject calls for it.

The scenario

How it works today, without automation.

A customer asks about their order at 10 p.m. and only gets an answer the next day. By morning the WhatsApp queue is full, and most messages are the same question: "where is my order?".

  1. 01Outside business hours, nobody answers, and the customer buys from a competitor.
  2. 02To answer, the agent opens the ERP, looks up the order and copies the status into the chat.
  3. 03Repeated questions about delivery times, shipping and returns take up the team's day.
  4. 04The history is scattered across phones, and nobody knows what was already agreed.
How it works with AI

The flow, step by step.

  1. 01

    Customer sends a message

    At any time, to the company's WhatsApp number.

  2. 02

    AI understands the request

    Identifies the customer and the subject: status, delivery time, return, quote.

  3. 03

    Checks the system

    Looks up the order in the ERP or e-commerce platform and answers with real data.

  4. 04

    Hands over to a person

    Complaints, negotiations or off-script questions go to an agent, with a summary.

  5. 05

    Everything is logged

    The conversation and the outcome go into the CRM or help desk.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this use case.

Does the customer know they are talking to an AI?

Yes. We recommend making it clear from the first message, and the customer can ask to talk to a person at any time.

What if the AI doesn't know the answer?

It doesn't make things up. When a question falls outside what was configured, the conversation goes to an agent, with a summary of what the customer already said.

Do I need to change my WhatsApp number?

Not necessarily. Your current number can be migrated to the official WhatsApp API. We assess this during discovery.

Can the AI check my ERP?

Yes, if the system has an API or another way to access the data. Bling, Tiny, Omie and most e-commerce platforms offer this.
