Quick answer: A WhatsApp AI assistant answers repeat customer questions, qualifies leads and captures enquiries on WhatsApp in Arabic and English, then hands conversations to your team. It is built on the WhatsApp Business API. Cost depends on scope and is quoted after a short call; our ready-made WhatsApp Property Bot for Dubai agents has published pricing from AED 99 per month.
What an assistant can handle
- FAQs: opening hours, pricing, location, availability.
- Lead qualification: asking a few questions, then passing the answers to a person.
- Enquiry and booking capture: sending details to your CRM or a spreadsheet.
- Arabic and English conversations.
It works best on a narrow, well-defined job. A vague "answer everything" bot disappoints.
How it is set up
We build WhatsApp assistants on the WhatsApp Business API:
- Define the job and the questions it must answer.
- Connect it to your data: a price list, a catalogue or your CRM.
- Test with real conversations, including edge cases.
- Launch with a clear route for customers to reach a human.
Cost
It depends on scope, so we quote after a short call. For reference, the WhatsApp Property Bot has published pricing from AED 99 per month. Expect messaging charges from the WhatsApp Business API provider as well; we explain these in the quote.
Data and privacy
Customer conversations are personal data. We design assistants around UAE data-protection principles, such as collecting only what is needed and being clear about how it is used. That is a design approach, not a certification, so confirm your own obligations under UAE law.
