AI chatbot · WhatsApp and website · Canary Islands and across Spain

An AI assistant that answers on WhatsApp what you always get asked the same way.

Opening hours, free slots, what to bring, how to get there. If an hour a day goes on answering the same things on WhatsApp, an assistant can do it: at once, at night and at weekends too, with the answers you approve. And whatever needs judgement it hands to a person, with the whole conversation.

What it does

Four things, done with what is yours.

It's what people usually call a chatbot, with one difference: it isn't a menu of buttons, and it isn't a chat that says the first thing that comes to it. It works with your answers, your diary and your team.

01

Answering what always gets asked the same way

Opening hours, where you are, what paperwork is needed, how long it takes. It answers at once, at eleven at night or on a Sunday too, and always from the answers you have approved, not from whatever it finds online.

02

Checking the diary and booking

If your diary or booking software allows it, it looks at the free slots, offers two or three, books and sends the confirmation. Nobody at reception has to touch a thing.

03

Taking down the case before handing it over

When someone writes with something that needs a person, it first asks what's needed: name, what they want and for when. So whoever picks it up doesn't start from zero or have to ask it all again.

04

Telling someone when it's time

A complaint, something urgent or a question that isn't among the approved answers: it notifies the right person, with the whole conversation, on WhatsApp, by email or wherever you'll see it first.

Under the hood

One conversation, start to finish.

It understands what's being asked, checks the diary, books, confirms and tells the team. Drawn the way it works; not a screenshot of any client's system.
  • ReadI go through the last few weeks of messages with you and separate what always gets asked the same way from what needs a person. It's almost always less varied than it looks.
  • WriteThe answers are written with you, the way you talk. The assistant answers from there, and what isn't written down it doesn't make up.
  • ConnectTo the diary or booking software you already have, if it allows it. On the official WhatsApp Business platform, not with tricks on top of WhatsApp Web that end with the number blocked.
  • TestFirst with your team playing the customer, then with real customers and the conversations reviewed every day, until there are no surprises.
  • SupportFor the first month after handover I stay on it, which is when the questions nobody expected turn up.

The number, the data and what gets said.

It runs on the WhatsApp Business platform that Meta provides to companies for exactly this, and if you want, in the chat on your website too, with the same answers. One thing to maintain, in two places.

What data the AI model can see and what it can't is decided before we start and written down. What the assistant stores is stored on European servers, and at a clinic it doesn't ask for or keep anything that isn't needed to give the appointment.

Under the hood, this is applied artificial intelligence to understand and answer, and systems integration so the diary and the assistant talk to each other.

When I'll tell you no.

  • If five people a week write to you. That gets answered by hand in no time and the assistant won't pay for itself.
  • If every question needs judgement: tailored quotes, diagnoses, legal queries. There the assistant can only take down the case and pass it on, and I'll tell you so before you decide.
  • If what you want is a «press 1» menu. That doesn't need AI, and it tends to tire people more than it helps.
  • If nobody on the team is going to pick up what the assistant passes on. I would rather not set it up than set it up for you to switch off.

    Appointment reminders

    Two days before, the patient gets a message. If they confirm, done. If they can't make it, the slot is freed and offered to the next person on the waiting list.

Questions

Before you book.

What if it says something it shouldn't?
It answers from the answers you approve. If the question isn't there, it doesn't improvise: it says it's passing it to a person and sends the whole conversation. For the first few weeks we read the conversations together and adjust whatever needs it.
Do we have to change our number?
Usually not. The number you already use on WhatsApp Business can normally be kept; in some cases a new one is worth it, and that gets decided in the first session, looking at what you have.
Does the customer know they're talking to an assistant?
Yes. It introduces itself as an assistant from the first message, and a person can be asked for at any time. It's the right thing to do, and it's what European AI rules ask for.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what it has to talk to: answering questions isn't the same as checking the diary and booking in your software. In the fifteen minutes I'll tell you whether it's worth it, and the proposal carries a fixed price. What Meta charges for WhatsApp messages is separate, and I'll break it down for your volume.
Can this be paid for with the Bono IA?
It's the kind of work the Spanish government's plan says it will pay for: AI with integration behind it, on one concrete process. The voucher opens in 2027 and its rules don't exist yet. It's explained on the AI voucher page.
Get started

Tell me what you always get asked on WhatsApp.

Fifteen free minutes to see whether the assistant is worth it in your case, or whether a few saved quick replies are enough.

I need to know your name.
I need a number to confirm the time.
Check the email, it looks incomplete.
For example: «people message us every day to ask our hours and whether there's a slot this week». Tell me the case, even in one line.
When suits you

Tick as many as you like. I fix the exact time when I confirm.
