WhatsApp AI Chatbot for Singapore Businesses

Most Singapore buying decisions happen on WhatsApp, not on a website form. AI Convo runs a business-trained agentic AI chatbot on your WhatsApp Business number: it answers questions instantly, captures and qualifies leads, and hands the conversation to your team the moment a person is needed. This page covers exactly what's live, what WhatsApp itself restricts, and what we need from you to set it up.

WHATSAPP Live now

An agentic AI that acts, not just replies

The bot answers FAQs and pricing questions from your approved material, captures a lead's name and contact details, checks availability where a booking system is connected, and hands over to your team when a conversation is ready to close or needs a person's judgement.

Core highlights
  • Auto-reply 24/7 with answers, prices and product or service info
  • Lead capture with details stored in your dashboard
  • Booking flows where a calendar or scheduling system is connected
  • Two-way human handover, either side can start it
  • Full conversation log for every chat, for review and training
Setup & WhatsApp's own rules

What WhatsApp requires, and what it restricts

These are platform rules set by Meta, not limits AI Convo imposes.

A verified business number

You need a WhatsApp Business number your company controls, verified through the WhatsApp Business API. This isn't the free consumer WhatsApp app on a personal phone.

The 24-hour reply window

Once a customer messages you, you can reply freely for 24 hours. After that window, only pre-approved message templates can be sent, this governs any proactive outreach or reminder.

Template approval

Templates for things like appointment reminders or order updates need to be submitted and approved by Meta before use. We help draft these, but Meta approves them.

Consent for marketing

Marketing-style messages outside an active conversation need the customer's prior opt-in. Transactional replies to an active conversation don't carry the same requirement.

Before and after

What changes for your team

Before

Messages pile up outside office hours. Whoever's free replies, with inconsistent tone and no record of what was promised. Bookings get missed while someone types the same answer for the fifth time that day.

After

Every message gets an instant, on-brand reply. Leads are captured and logged automatically. Your team only steps in for the conversations that actually need a person, with the full chat history already in front of them.

What we don't claim

We don't publish a specific percentage uplift for your business in advance, results depend on your enquiry volume, response quality before automation, and how well the bot is trained. Use our Implementation & ROI guide to work out your own numbers.

Training & fallback

Trained on your business, not a generic template

The bot answers from the FAQs, pricing and policies you approve during onboarding. If a question falls outside that material, or a customer clearly wants a person, it says so and hands over rather than guessing. Your team can review past conversations and correct anything that reads wrong, feeding that correction back into future replies.

PDPA and your customers' WhatsApp data

Consent, retention and access requests for WhatsApp conversations are handled under the same controls as every other channel. See exactly how.

FAQ

WhatsApp chatbot questions, answered

Do I need my own WhatsApp Business number?+
Yes. AI Convo connects to a WhatsApp Business number your company controls, through the official WhatsApp Business API. We help you through the connection process, but the number and the underlying WhatsApp Business account are yours.
Can the bot send messages first, or only reply?+
WhatsApp's rules mean a business can only send a free-form message within a 24-hour window after a customer messages first. Outside that window, a business-initiated message must use a pre-approved template, this is a WhatsApp platform rule, not an AI Convo limitation.
Can it handle a booking request over WhatsApp?+
Yes, the bot can check availability where connected to your booking system and confirm a slot, or capture a booking request for your team to confirm if no live calendar integration exists. See the Appointment Booking chatbot page for the distinction.
What happens when a customer wants to speak to a real person?+
The conversation is handed over to your team in real time, in either direction. Your staff can also jump into any live chat proactively, not just when asked.
Is WhatsApp data handled under PDPA?+
Yes, WhatsApp conversation data is handled under the same PDPA-aligned controls as every other channel. See the PDPA-Compliant AI Chatbot page for the full data-flow explanation.
