The new capability brings automated, knowledge base-powered conversations to a platform customers use every day, helping retailers deliver accurate, consistent responses that reflect what the business is actually offering right now.
Designed for dealer groups and franchised retailers, the WhatsApp solution supports high value use cases including service booking and reminders, sales enquiries and finance retention conversations. It can extract key information from messages and write back to the dealer management system, helping teams reduce manual admin while improving data quality and follow up.
When a conversation needs a person, AI Assistant enables seamless handover to human teams at the right moment, so customers get continuity and staff can pick up the thread with full context.
“Customers want fast, helpful answers in the channel they are already using and they want those answers to be consistent with what the business can actually deliver,” said Ritchie Kelk, Director at AI Assistant. “By bringing our AI Assistant technology to WhatsApp, we are helping dealer groups across the Middle East, South Africa and Europe respond at speed, protect margin and reduce workload, while still keeping the right controls in place. It’s about better customer experience and better operational efficiency, without losing the human touch when it matters.”
The WhatsApp launch builds on AI Assistant’s established work helping automotive retailers manage customer communication at scale, using AI to handle back and forth conversations, interpret intent, capture the details that matter and move customers towards the right outcome.
