Teach your AI what to know

Tell us your FAQs, policies, promotions and the rules your AI must follow, and we set them up for you. When a customer asks something the AI cannot answer, the question is flagged for you. You suggest the answer, we review and publish it, and the AI uses it from then on.

  • Your FAQs, policies, promotions and rules, set up by our team
  • Suggest a change anytime in plain words, we review and publish it
  • Questions the AI could not answer are flagged for you
  • Every answer you add is used from then on

You control

Broadcast promotions

Send promos to customers who agreed to hear from you, using a message Meta has approved. See which messages were delivered.

Contact management

Upload your customer list from a spreadsheet and tag customers, so each promo goes to the right group.

Handoff alerts

When the AI passes a chat to your team, you get a WhatsApp message and an email, so you never miss a ready buyer or a complaint.

Lead Capture rules

Tell us what makes a good lead for you (budget, location, when they want to buy). Every lead that matches lands in your dashboard with the full chat. All plans.
