Client Stories

They reclaimed their inboxes.
Customers got faster replies.

Real South African support teams. Real measurable inbox results.

Our support team's average response time went from 7 hours to 8 minutes. Customers are happier, my reps are less burned out, and I finally read my own emails again.
Mike van Rensburg

85% of "where's my order" emails now resolve themselves. The AI pulls live tracking and writes a reply that sounds exactly like our team. ROI in week 3.
Anika Botha
Cape Town Retail Brand
Multilingual replies in Afrikaans and isiZulu transformed our customer satisfaction in the Free State and KZN. Reviews mention friendly fast replies — they don't even know it's AI.
Lerato Mokoena

Before: 3 reps drowning in 200 emails/day. After: 1 rep handling escalations, AI doing the rest. Same coverage, half the cost, faster customers.

Common Questions

Email AI
answers before you ask.

How much does an AI email bot cost in South Africa?+

Starter R1,200/mo (R2,000 setup), Intermediate R2,200/mo (R3,500 setup), Pro R3,800/mo (R5,500 setup), Enterprise R400–R15,000+/mo with custom scope. Pricing in rand, billed monthly, cancel anytime.

Do I need to change my email address or migrate?+

No. The AI plugs into your existing email — Gmail (Google Workspace), Outlook (Microsoft 365), Zoho Mail, FastMail or any IMAP/SMTP setup. Customers still email your existing address. The AI is invisible to them.

Can I review every reply before it sends?+

Yes — Draft Mode keeps every AI reply in your inbox for one-click human send. Once you trust the AI on specific categories (order tracking, FAQ, returns), switch those to Auto Mode. Other categories stay in draft. You stay in control.

Will it sound like our brand or generic AI?+

Trained specifically on your past replies and brand voice guide. Customers won't notice the difference. We tune the tone until your support lead can't tell their team's writing from the AI's.

Does it reply in Afrikaans, isiZulu and other SA languages?+

Yes — multilingual by default. Replies match the customer's language: English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana. Particularly noticeable customer satisfaction lift in non-English-first regions.

How does escalation work?+

You define rules: refunds, complaints, VIP customers, custom-quote requests, urgent legal — anything escalation-worthy gets routed to the right team member instantly with full context. The AI steps aside cleanly.

Can it pull live data — order tracking, account info, etc.?+

Yes. Pro and Pro+ tiers connect to Shopify, WooCommerce, Xero, Sage, your CRM, your ticket system or custom APIs to pull live tracking, order status, invoice info, account details — and include them in replies in real time.

Is customer data safe under POPIA?+

Yes. POPIA-aligned: data minimisation, retention windows, opt-out, breach notification. Encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. Audit logs exportable on request.

How long until it's live?+

5–7 working days. Day 1 inbox connection + onboarding. Days 2–3 we train the AI on your tone and knowledge base. Days 4–5 you review drafts against real emails and we refine. Days 6–7 go-live with auto-reply on safe categories.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes — every plan is month-to-month. Cancel with 14 days' notice. We hand over knowledge base, tone-training data, and escalation rules. Disconnect from your inbox cleanly.
