Built for Johannesburg

What it does for Johannesburg businesses

It is the same chatbot for every business: it answers from your own pages, prices and documents, day and night, and emails each enquiry to your team. What changes is what your customers ask. This is what it does for Johannesburg’s main sectors.

Sandton Financial Services & JSE

Sandton fintechs, advisers, brokers and wealth managers. The AI asks your qualifying questions and hands each lead to your advisers by email. It never gives advice.

Mining HQs & Industrial

Mining houses and the suppliers around Marshalltown and Sandton. It answers supplier-onboarding, B-BBEE and scope questions from the documents you give it, and emails each tender enquiry to your team.

Property & Sectional Title

Sandton, Bryanston and Fourways agents and managing agents. It answers listing and levy questions, asks your buyer-qualifying questions, and emails each viewing request to the agent.

CBD & Maboneng Retail / Hospitality

Rosebank, Maboneng and Braamfontein shops, restaurants and bars. It answers product, opening-hour and loyalty questions from your information, and emails each order or table request to you to confirm.

Sound familiar?

The problems Johannesburg businesses face

If two or more of these sound like your week, a chatbot that answers at any hour is the cheapest fix to try first: from R299 a month, or the free trial: 7 days and 50 messages, no card.

A Sandton lead waits 15 minutes for a quote, messages two competitors, and picks the one who replied first
Load-shedding hits Bryanston for the third Tuesday running and your team cannot answer a customer until late
Compliance has to review every ad-hoc reply your advisers send
Mining tender enquiries pile up in one inbox while the procurement team is in meetings

FAQ

Johannesburg Questions

Straight answers to what Johannesburg businesses ask before they sign up.

How much does an AI chatbot cost in Johannesburg?
Starter is R299/mo, Intermediate R649/mo, Pro R1,199/mo and Pro+ R2,500/mo. Setup is R250–R500 once, paid with the first month. A custom build for a larger firm is quoted per job.
Do you work with Sandton financial services and JSE-listed firms?
Yes. It answers only from the information you approve, asks your qualifying questions and hands each lead to your advisers by email. Every conversation is saved for you to read, and it never gives advice.
Can your chatbot handle Zulu, Sesotho, Setswana and Afrikaans?
It answers in English and Afrikaans. isiZulu, Sesotho and Setswana are best-effort: it tries to reply in the language the customer writes in, but the quality varies by language, so test it with your own customers’ messages on the free trial (7 days, 50 messages, no card) before you rely on it.
Will the chatbot keep working through Joburg load-shedding?
Yes. It runs on servers outside your premises, so a power cut at your office does not stop it answering and capturing leads.
What we build in Johannesburg

AI that works
in Johannesburg.

Where most Johannesburg businesses start

Nearly every Johannesburg business starts with an AI chatbot for your website. It answers every visitor within seconds, in English or Afrikaans (other South African languages best-effort), and captures the lead while a contact form would still be waiting until Monday morning.

From there, an AI inbox takes the shared inbox off your team, appointment booking fills the calendar, and B2B lead generation keeps the pipeline moving. Everything is built, deployed and supported remotely from our Vanderbijlpark base, so a business in Johannesburg goes live in the same 30 minutes as one down the road from us.

If the website itself is the weak link, we build that too — web design, hosted flat, and yours to take anywhere. Around it sit an AI inbox for the inbox, SARS-compliant invoicing for the paperwork, email campaigns for keeping in touch. When a Johannesburg business needs something none of that covers, a bespoke build is scoped per job.

Background reading. The longer version of the argument on this page lives in the blog: the South African lead-response numbers, what an AI chatbot costs in South Africa, and how to choose an AI chatbot for a small business.

In 15 minutes, a Sandton lead may be someone else’s booking.

Sign up and it goes live 30 minutes later, any time, answering Johannesburg customers from your own pages and emailing you every lead. No site visit, no contract. Or start the free trial: 7 days and 50 messages, no card.
