Built for Tshwane

What it does for Pretoria 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 Pretoria’s main sectors.

Government Contractors & Tender Desks

Contractors bidding into Treasury, DPSA, DHET and SOEs. It answers capability, SBD and B-BBEE questions from your documents and emails each RFP enquiry to your bid team, instead of letting it age in a personal inbox.

Embassies & Consular Services

Missions and visa service providers in Arcadia and Hatfield. It answers visa and document-checklist questions from your information after hours, takes each appointment request and emails it to your front desk.

Brooklyn / Waterkloof Corporate Counsel

Pretoria Bar advocates and corporate law firms. It answers in a formal English or Afrikaans register, asks your intake questions and emails each new matter to you.

Hatfield Student & UP / TUT Admissions

Residences, study consultancies and admissions teams. It answers NSFAS, fee and accommodation questions from your information across the January and June peaks, and emails each request to you.

Pain points specific to Tshwane operators

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.

SBD questions stacking up in one bid manager’s inbox while deadlines slip past
An embassy walk-in queue on Monday because nobody answered the visa question on Sunday
Brooklyn intake calls rolling to voicemail at 4:30pm
UP and TUT registration week exposing your residence reception desk

Your Tshwane chatbot answers in English and Afrikaans

Pretoria gets enquiries in formal Afrikaans, Sepedi from Mamelodi and English from the diplomatic belt. It answers in English and Afrikaans. Sepedi, Setswana and other languages are best-effort: it tries to reply in the language your customer writes in, but the quality varies by language, so test your own customers’ messages on the free trial (7 days, 50 messages) before you rely on it.

FAQ

Tshwane-specific questions

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

Can the chatbot answer government tender enquiries without breaching POPIA?
It answers SBD, B-BBEE and CSD questions from the documents you give it, asks only the questions you set, and emails each enquiry to your bid team. It does not read tender packs; every conversation is saved for you to read.
Do you work with the Arcadia / Hatfield embassy belt and consular front-of-house teams?
Yes. It answers visa and document-checklist questions from your information at any hour, takes appointment requests and emails them to your team. Emergencies go to a person: you give it the number to show.
Will it cope with Brooklyn / Waterkloof corporate counsel and Pretoria Bar advocates’ intake formality?
Yes. You set its tone, so it can use full salutations and a formal register in English or Afrikaans. It asks your intake questions and emails each new matter to you.
Can it handle Hatfield / UP / TUT admissions and accommodation pressure during enrolment?
Yes. It answers NSFAS, course-fee and residence questions from your information, any hour, through the January and June peaks, and emails each request to you.
What we build in Pretoria

AI that works
in Pretoria.

What we build for Pretoria businesses

For most Pretoria businesses the first and cheapest fix is an AI chatbot for your website. The enquiry that arrives at 21:40 gets answered at 21:40 rather than on Monday, in English or Afrikaans, and best-effort in the other South African languages.

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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria 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: AI and POPIA, the South African lead-response numbers, and how to choose an AI chatbot for a small business.

The next tender enquiry should not wait a week.

Sign up and it goes live 30 minutes later, any time, answering Pretoria 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.
