Do I need a developer to use this?+

No. We handle every technical step — training, deployment, integrations and hosting. You just supply your business info, review, and approve.

Is my customer data safe?+

Yes. We build against POPIA principles — data minimisation, consent, opt-out and retention policies. We never sell your data, and all chats are encrypted in transit.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes — every plan is month-to-month. No lock-in contracts. Cancel with 30 days' notice and we hand over everything we built for you.

Does it handle Afrikaans, Zulu and other SA languages?+

Yes. Our AI is multilingual by default — English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana and more. Replies use a multilingual large language model (gpt-4o-mini) so customers can switch languages mid-conversation.

Is there an AI chatbot for estate agents in South Africa?+

Yes — we build AI chatbots for SA estate agents that pre-qualify buyers, book viewings on WhatsApp, sync with Private Property / Property24 listings, and follow up with warm leads automatically. Plans from R499/month. Deploys in 30 minutes.

Can you build an AI receptionist for my SA business?+

Yes. An AI receptionist answers WhatsApp/website enquiries 24/7, books appointments, routes urgent calls, and logs every interaction to your CRM. Common fit for medical practices, attorneys, salons and trades. Starter plans from R1,000/month.

How much does WhatsApp Business API cost in South Africa?+

Meta charges per conversation (R0.30–R2.50 depending on category and country). Our WhatsApp AI service on top starts at R400/month and handles the setup, verification, template approvals and AI responses. Total monthly spend for most SMBs: R500–R2,500.

Do you offer AI chatbots for restaurants or hospitality?+

Yes. For restaurants we build WhatsApp booking bots, menu-aware chat, reservation confirmations, waiter-hand-off workflows, and loyalty-program automation. For hospitality (B&Bs, lodges, boutique hotels) we add room availability, check-in automation and upsell flows. Starter from R1,000/month.

Which South African cities do you serve?+

All of them. We deploy fully remotely from our Vanderbijlpark base — Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein, Polokwane, Nelspruit/Mbombela, Rustenburg, Kimberley and every smaller town in between. See our city pages for local detail.

What makes DoubleDown AI different from international chatbot platforms?+

Three things.One:we bill in rands, so currency swings don't spike your invoice.Two:we tune the AI on South African languages and phrasing using a multilingual LLM.Three:real humans on WhatsApp support, local SARS-ready invoicing, and POPIA compliance built-in. International platforms give you a tool; we give you a deployed, trained agent.
