Client Stories

They put WhatsApp on autopilot.
Sales kept coming.

Real South African businesses. Real WhatsApp results.

Our WhatsApp bot now handles 80% of customer queries automatically. We went from missing leads overnight to capturing every single one — even at 2am. Absolutely game-changing for our salon.
Sarah Matthee

Setup took six days. Within two weeks our WhatsApp number was generating quote requests overnight while we slept. The ROI in the first month justified everything.
Thabo Khumalo
Johannesburg Property Agent
The outbound campaign tool brought back 22% of dormant customers in the first month. Templates got approved fast and the multilingual replies actually sound natural in Afrikaans. Worth every rand.

Booking confirmations and reminders cut our no-show rate from 28% to under 9%. The AI handles every WhatsApp enquiry in seconds. Best business decision we've made this year.

Common Questions

WhatsApp AI
answers before you ask.

How much does WhatsApp AI cost in South Africa?+

Inbound from R400/mo, Outbound from R600/mo. Setup R500–R4,000+ depending on tier. Pro/Enterprise plans go up to R15,500/mo for multi-number, branched flows and high-volume outbound.

How long until my WhatsApp AI is live?+

5–7 working days. Day 1 we onboard and submit your Meta verification. Days 2–3 we train the AI and prep templates. Days 4–5 you review and we refine. Days 6–7 we activate and go live.

Is this the official WhatsApp Business API or an unofficial workaround?+

100% official. We register your number on the official WhatsApp Business Platform via Meta-approved providers, complete business verification, and only send Meta-approved templates. Your number stays yours and is fully compliant — no risk of being banned.

Will it speak Afrikaans, isiZulu and other SA languages?+

Yes — multilingual by default. English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana and more. Customers can switch language mid-conversation; the AI follows. No extra fee for additional languages.

What's the difference between Inbound and Outbound?+

Inbound handles messages your customers send you — questions, quotes, bookings, support. Outbound sends Meta-approved messages your team initiates — promos, reminders, win-back campaigns, abandoned-cart recovery. Most clients run both together.

How much does WhatsApp Business API cost on top of your fee?+

Meta charges per conversation (R0.30–R2.50 depending on category and country). Service-initiated marketing conversations cost more than utility/service replies. For most SMBs total monthly Meta spend lands at R200–R1,500 — billed transparently inside your dashboard.

Can a human take over a chat when needed?+

Yes. Trigger words, sentiment cues, or specific intents (refund, complaint, custom request) escalate to your team with full chat history. Your reps reply from a shared inbox; the AI steps aside cleanly and resumes when the human is done.

Is my customer data safe under POPIA?+

Yes. We build against POPIA principles — data minimisation, lawful basis, retention windows, opt-out, breach notification. Chats are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. Audit logs are exportable on request.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes — every plan is month-to-month. Cancel with 14 days' notice and your number stays yours. We hand over templates, training data and conversation history.

Can it integrate with my CRM, calendar or e-commerce store?+

Yes. Out of the box: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Calendly, Shopify, WooCommerce, Xero, Sage. Custom integrations included on Pro+ and Enterprise plans.

Which South African industries use this most?+

Salons & barbers, attorneys, medical practices, estate agents, restaurants, B&Bs, e-commerce stores, trades, clinics and tutoring services run our biggest deployments. WhatsApp is universal — wherever your customers prefer to message, the AI fits.
