How to Add an AI Agent to WhatsApp

An AI agent understands free-text questions and answers like a real assistant. Here is how to add one to your WhatsApp without writing code.

How it works

Step by step

1

Connect your Business API number

Make sure WhatsApp is live through a provider that offers a built-in AI agent.

2

Train it on your knowledge

Feed it your FAQs, product info, policies, and website so it answers accurately about your business.

3

Set its scope and tone

Define what the agent can do, its personality, and the topics it should and should not handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an AI agent different from a rule-based chatbot?

A rule-based bot follows fixed menus and keywords. An AI agent understands natural language, so it can answer varied questions without an exact-match path.

Will an AI agent make mistakes?

It can, which is why you ground it in your own knowledge, set guardrails, and configure handoff to a human for anything it is unsure about.
