Built for the African Market

WhatsApp isn't just popular in South Africa — it's how business gets done across Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, and beyond. We build bots that understand local languages, low-bandwidth environments, and the way African customers actually communicate. No templates from overseas agencies — built for here.

Common Questions

WhatsApp Bot FAQs

Does it work on normal WhatsApp or do I need a business account?

You need WhatsApp Business API — not the free WhatsApp Business app. We handle the full setup and Meta verification for you. You keep your existing number.

Will my customers know they're talking to a bot?

We always disclose that it's an automated assistant at the start of the conversation — this is both best practice and required by WhatsApp's policies. Customers actually prefer fast bot responses over waiting hours for a human reply.

What happens when the bot can't answer something?

The bot escalates to you (or a team member) with full context of the conversation. You can jump in and take over at any point.

How much does it cost?

WhatsApp bot builds start from R8,500 once-off. There are small monthly API costs from Meta (typically R150–R500/month depending on message volume). We'll give you an exact breakdown in your quote.

Do you serve businesses outside South Africa?

Yes. WhatsApp automation works across Southern Africa — Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique and beyond. WhatsApp is the dominant business communication channel across the continent, making automation even more impactful.

How long does it take to build?

Most WhatsApp bot projects are live within 2–3 weeks from the discovery call to launch.
