How to Set Up AI Chatbot for WhatsApp Business

If you're still manually replying to every WhatsApp message, you're doing it wrong. AI chatbots work, and they're easier to set up than you think.

Here's exactly how to set up an AI chatbot on Wavvy. No coding, no complicated stuff.

Why You Need This

Customers message at 3 AM. Same questions 100 times. "What's your price?" "Deliver to Faisalabad?" "Your timings?" AI chatbot answers automatically. Never sleeps, never tired, never wrong.

Step 1: Choose Your AI

Wavvy supports four AI providers:

For Pakistani businesses, start with GPT-3.5. Cheap, fast, smart enough for 90% of questions.

Cost Reality

GPT-3.5 costs ~$0.002 per conversation. That's 2 rupees for 100 messages. 1000 daily messages = 500-600 rupees monthly. Totally worth it.

Step 2: Get API Key

Go to OpenAI website. Create account. Get API key. It's like a password that lets Wavvy talk to AI. Copy it somewhere safe.

Step 3: Connect WhatsApp

Log into Wavvy → Sessions → Add Session → Scan QR code. Done. WhatsApp connected.

Step 4: Set Up AI

Click session → AI Assistant → Paste API key. Now teach the bot about YOUR business:

Write in simple language. Like explaining to a new employee. Better explanation = better performance.

Step 5: Set Conversation Limits

Set how many messages bot remembers. I recommend 10-15. Bot remembers context but doesn't get confused with old conversations.

Step 6: Enable Voice Messages (Optional)

Using Gemini? Enable voice message understanding. Customers send voice notes, AI listens and responds. Great for Pakistani customers who prefer voice.

Step 7: Test Everything

Before going live, test. Send different questions. Try to confuse it. See how it handles angry customers. Fix issues now.

Pro Tip

Start with bot handling simple questions only. As it works well, give it more responsibility. Don't go 0 to 100 overnight.

When Bot Can't Answer?

Bot is smart, not perfect. When it doesn't know, it says "Let me connect you with my team" and you get notification. You reply manually. Best of both worlds.

Real Results

Lahore shoe store set up AI bot last month. Now handles 85% of questions automatically. Owner checks WhatsApp twice daily. Bot does the rest.

AI chatbots aren't future - they're present. Your competitors probably use them. Don't get left behind. Set one up on Wavvy. 10 minutes, costs almost nothing, saves hours daily.
