WhatsApp AI Chatbot, explained simply
WhatsApp is where catering buyers actually message, often late at night or in the middle of a rush. ZiaPilot AI connects to your WhatsApp number and replies instantly: answering package questions, capturing the event details, and flagging your team the moment an order is worth closing. When a customer wants a real person, it hands off cleanly so nothing feels automated.
