AI-powered WhatsApp bot for companies in Costa Rica

In short

An AI-powered WhatsApp bot answers your customers on your company's number, at any hour, using your business's real information: services, prices, hours and availability. It books appointments, takes orders or lead details and, when the conversation calls for it, hands it off to someone on your team with the full context.

Challenges

Sound familiar?

  • Messages sent at night and on weekends don't get answered until Monday.
  • Your team answers the same questions dozens of times a day.
  • Several people share one phone to handle WhatsApp.
  • You don't know how many contacts come in through WhatsApp or how many turn into sales.

What's included

What AI WhatsApp bot does for your company

  • Official WhatsApp API

    Your number verified on Meta's platform, with no unauthorized apps that risk getting you blocked.

  • AI that uses your business information

    It answers with your services, prices, hours and policies, and recognizes when it doesn't know something.

  • Appointments and orders

    It offers available times, confirms appointments, takes orders and sends reminders.

  • Handoff to a person

    It detects when someone from your team should step in and hands over the full conversation.

  • Shared inbox

    Several agents handle the same number from their computers, with assignments and notes.

  • Metrics and CRM

    Every contact is saved in the CRM with its source, and you see conversations, response times and conversions.

What is the difference between the WhatsApp Business app and the WhatsApp API?

The WhatsApp Business app works on a few devices and is designed for manual customer service. The WhatsApp API platform connects the number to a system: bots, several agents at once, CRM integration and Meta-approved template messages. To automate with AI safely, you use the API.

Can an AI bot give wrong information?

It can happen if it answers without limits. That's why it is configured to reply only with the information you approve, to say it doesn't know when something isn't in its knowledge base, and to hand the conversation to a person on sensitive topics such as complaints or payments.

How much does Meta charge to use the WhatsApp API?

Meta charges for template messages initiated by the business, such as reminders or promotions, according to its current rates by country and category. Replies to a customer within 24 hours of their last message carry no per-message cost. We help you estimate that cost based on your volume.
