WhatsApp agents

Your agent, on WhatsApp

AI agents for WhatsApp

The number your customers already message.

For most of your customers WhatsApp is not a support channel — it is the phone. Your agent answers there in seconds, takes the booking or the order, confirms the day before so the table is not empty, and replies in whatever language the message arrived in.

What it handles

Ten things it handles on WhatsApp, without being asked twice.

01

Replies while they are still deciding

A message that waits two hours is a booking made somewhere else. Your agent answers in seconds, at midnight, on a public holiday, with the same answer every time.

02

Takes the booking properly

Party size, date, time window, name, and the one thing you always need to ask. It comes to you as one request you can confirm, not four unanswered messages.

03

Cuts no-shows with a day-before confirm

The confirmation lands in the chat the booking was made in. A reply keeps it, moves it, or frees the slot while there is still time to sell it.

04

Answers in their language

The message arrives in Portuguese; the answer goes out in Portuguese. You write your information once and the agent meets each customer where they are.

05

Reads the voice note

People send voice notes on WhatsApp. The agent listens, extracts the request, and answers in text — no "please type that instead".

06

Handles the photo

A picture of a damaged part, a menu, a receipt. It attaches the image to the request so the person who picks it up can see what the customer saw.

07

Answers from your own information

Hours, prices, delivery zones, what is on today. From the profile you wrote, in your words. Nothing invented, nothing promised that you cannot do.

08

Remembers the regular

The number is the customer record. Their usual order, their allergy, the fact they always ask for the corner table — remembered without being retold.

09

Chases once, politely

One follow-up on an unanswered question, then silence. A business number that texts four times gets blocked.

10

Escalates the complaint

An angry message does not get an automated apology. It gets flagged, with the full chat, to the person who can actually fix it.

A real chat

One number, answered in seconds, all day.

No portal, no ticket number, no "your call is important to us". The customer messages the number on your window and the answer arrives in the chat they already had open.

WhatsApp Business · Casa Marina
  1. Customer:boa noite! mesa para 4 amanhã às 20h?
  2. Agent:Boa noite! Amanhã às 20h temos mesa para 4 — no salão interior. Posso reservar em que nome?
  3. Customer:Ana Ribeiro. one of us is coeliac, is that ok?
  4. Agent:Yes — the kitchen does gluten-free versions of most of the menu and marks them on the board. I have noted a coeliac guest on the booking so the kitchen sees it.
  5. Agent:Booked: tomorrow 20:00, table for 4, name Ana Ribeiro, one coeliac guest. I will confirm here tomorrow at lunchtime — reply to this chat if anything changes.
  6. Customer:obrigada!

A WhatsApp agent vs an auto-reply flow

A menu of options is not a conversation.

The usual WhatsApp Business setup is a greeting, a numbered menu, and a promise that someone will reply during business hours. Customers answer the menu with a sentence, and the flow breaks.

Questions

What people ask about running an agent on WhatsApp.

Does this work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes — it runs on your WhatsApp Business number, so customers message the number you already advertise. There is nothing for them to install or accept.
Can it reply in more than one language?
It answers in the language the message arrived in. You write your hours, prices and policies once, and each customer reads them in their own language.
What about voice notes and photos?
Voice notes are transcribed and answered in text; photos are attached to the request so whoever picks it up sees what the customer sent. Neither gets a "please type that instead".
Will it reduce no-shows?
That is what the day-before confirmation is for. It lands in the chat the booking was made in, and a one-word reply keeps, moves or frees the slot while you can still fill it.
Can a person take over the chat?
Any chat can be handed to your team, with the full history and everything the agent already promised. Complaints and unusual requests are escalated automatically.
How long does setup take?
Start from the Restaurant Host template, connect your WhatsApp number, and edit the profile. You are answering messages the same day.
