Interakt is a capable WhatsApp commerce tool — but if AI and multi-channel reach matter, Defuser is built for where you're headed.
Interakt is a WhatsApp Business API platform aimed at SMBs and D2C brands, with a shared inbox, broadcasts, catalog and order notifications, and strong Shopify and WooCommerce hooks. It's well-suited to WhatsApp-first commerce.
Teams look for an Interakt alternative when they want AI that genuinely understands customers, plus automation beyond WhatsApp. Defuser pairs agentic AI with true multi-channel coverage while keeping the WhatsApp commerce strengths.
Defuser is Meta-Verified with the agentic Talksy chatbot at its center — it reasons about intent, recommends products and closes sales. Beyond WhatsApp, you get a unified inbox spanning Instagram, Messenger and TikTok.
For commerce, native Shopify automation drives cart recovery and order tracking, and pricing is transparent via our calculator.
