AI Agents & Chatbots

Assistants that take the busywork off your team

We build AI agents that do real work: answering customers on WhatsApp and your website, reading documents, updating your systems and handing over to a person when it matters. Every agent is connected to your own data and tools, with clear limits on what it is allowed to do.

AI agents and chatbots in Kenya

An AI chatbot answers questions. An AI agent goes further: it can look up an order, book an appointment, update a record or open a support ticket, using your own systems and data. Both can work around the clock on WhatsApp, your website or email.

We build agents on leading models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, connected to your business information and tools, with clear rules on what the agent may do and when it must hand over to a person.

What businesses use AI agents for

Common first projects include:

  • Answering customer questions on WhatsApp in English and Swahili.
  • Checking order, delivery or payment status from your systems.
  • Booking appointments and sending reminders.
  • Reading invoices, forms and documents and entering the details.
  • Answering staff questions from your policies and manuals.
  • Qualifying sales leads before passing them to your team.

Keeping AI safe and accurate

An agent is only useful if you can trust it. We limit each agent to your approved information, log every conversation for review, and set confidence thresholds so uncertain questions go to a person instead of getting a guessed answer.

Customer data is handled in line with Kenya's Data Protection Act, and we review the agent's performance with you regularly to improve its answers over time.

Questions

What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot?

A chatbot answers questions. An agent can also take actions, such as checking an order, booking an appointment or updating a record, within the limits you set.

Is our business data safe?

Your data stays in systems you control, and we use AI providers that do not train their models on your inputs. Access is limited to what each agent needs.

Can the agent work on WhatsApp?

Yes. We build agents for WhatsApp through the official WhatsApp Business API, as well as for web chat, email and internal tools.

Can the AI agent speak Swahili?

Yes. The models we use handle Swahili and English well, and can reply in the language the customer writes in. We test answers in both before launch.

Can an AI chatbot answer our customers on WhatsApp?

Yes. We connect agents to the WhatsApp Business API so customers can chat with your business on the number they already use, with a person able to take over at any time.

Will the agent make up answers?

We design against it. The agent answers only from your approved information, says when it does not know, and hands the conversation to your team instead of guessing.
