FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best WhatsApp chatbot tool?

For agentic AI that converts, Defuser AI's Talksy leads — it reasons about intent rather than matching keywords. See WhatsApp chatbot.

Do WhatsApp chatbots need coding?

Not with Defuser. The Custom Flow Builder is no-code, so non-technical teams can build and edit chatbots themselves.

What's the difference between a rule-based bot and an agentic chatbot?

Rule-based bots follow fixed keyword flows; agentic chatbots like Talksy understand natural language, reason about intent and take actions like recommending products or booking.
