What an AI agent for WhatsApp is and how it works
Everyone talks about AI agents, but few explain what they are without drowning it in jargon. If you run a business and people message you on WhatsApp, this is for you. Here it is, plainly.
It's not a menu bot, it's a conversation
The old bots work with menus: "press 1 for appointments, 2 for hours". An AI agent, instead, understands what the customer writes in their own words — "hi, I'd like an appointment for Monday afternoon" — and replies the way a person would.
The difference for the customer is huge: they don't have to guess the right option, they just talk normally.
What it can actually do
Answer frequent questions (hours, prices, location), book and change appointments against your real calendar, send reminders, ask for missing details and, when it senses the case needs a person, hand it to a human with full context.
All of that at any hour, in Catalan, Spanish or English depending on how they write.
Where the limit is (and why it's good there is one)
A good agent knows what it doesn't know. Faced with a medical emergency, a delicate complaint or a request outside its scope, it doesn't improvise: it escalates to a person. That clear boundary is what separates a reliable tool from an experiment that makes you look bad.
