WhatsApp AI agent

A WhatsApp AI Agent That Knows Your Business

A WhatsApp chatbot answers from a script. Timo is an AI agent: it learns your business, understands what each customer is asking, and takes the next step — capturing a lead, booking an appointment or helping with an order. It is the conversational core of WhatsApp automation.

A chatbot follows predefined replies. An AI agent like Timo understands free-form messages, uses what it knows about your business and can complete tasks such as capturing a lead or booking an appointment.

Can I customise how the assistant talks?

Yes. You can customise Timo’s personality, knowledge base and behaviour to match your brand voice.

Does it support my language?

Timo can understand and respond in any language.
