Where to start
If you do not know what to automate, start with a diagnostic: it measures where your team loses time and money and prioritizes the workflows with the best return. If you already know you lose inquiries outside office hours, a WhatsApp agent is usually the first step.
What else costs money besides implementation
- Monthly operation to improve and supervise the agent.
- Platform costs: WhatsApp Business API messages and AI model usage.
- Your team’s time to provide information and validate answers.
How to evaluate return
Estimate the value of sales lost today by answering late, or the time your team spends on repetitive tasks, and compare it to the monthly cost. If the benefit is clear within a few months, go ahead; if not, start with something smaller.
