Build a WhatsApp chatbot with AI
Build a WhatsApp chatbot with AI by describing the flow in ChatGPT or Claude. With SAMWAD connected, the assistant drafts the journey, simulates a customer going through it and waits for you to review it. You turn it on; you can also edit it visually in SAMWAD’s Chatbot Builder.
How it works
Describe, simulate, review, turn on
- Describe the flow
Say what starts it, what to ask and what to send back. Plain language is enough.
- Simulate a customer
The assistant runs a test customer through the journey and tells you what they’d see at each step.
- Review and turn it on
Check it in the chat or in SAMWAD’s Chatbot Builder. It goes live only when you turn it on.
