Run Your Business From a WhatsApp Message

Ask AI now works over WhatsApp. Connect your number once, and the same assistant you use inside Ignite Funnels answers you in the WhatsApp thread you already have open all day. No laptop, no browser tab, no separate app to install.

Is this a cut-down version of Ask AI?

No. This is the complete Ask AI assistant with every capability intact, reached from a text message. Anything it can do for you on the web it can do from WhatsApp.

What can I actually do from a text?

You can run your CRM, create work and set tasks running, all by messaging. The most common uses are looking something up between meetings and recording something while it is still fresh in your mind.

• Contacts and deals: look up a contact, add a note, update a field or move a deal to the next stage from a message. When a client mentions something on a call, you log it before you hang up.
• Your calendar: ask what today looks like, or what is coming up next, and get the answer in seconds.
• Draft a blog post: ask for one and a ready-to-review draft comes back in the thread.
• Generate an email template: ask for a follow-up, a cold outreach or a reply, and get back a reusable template you can drop into your campaigns.
• Generate images, video and audio: ask for the asset you need and it is created in the conversation.
• Recurring tasks by text: say "every Monday at 9am, summarise new leads" and it runs from then on.
• Follow-ups you will not forget: say "check on this lead in a few days", and the results wait for you in the Scheduled Tasks tab.

Any custom skills you have taught your assistant behave exactly the same way over WhatsApp, so your team's specialised steps travel with you. Product and account questions asked mid-task are routed to Support AI automatically and answered in the same thread, with no ticket to raise.

How do I connect my number?

Connecting takes about a minute and only has to be done once. You confirm the number with a code sent to you on WhatsApp.

1. Open the Dispatch tab, or go to Customize → Dispatch, and tap Connect WhatsApp.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone and send the first message to the number shown. A verification code comes back to you on WhatsApp.
3. Enter that code in the app to finish verification.
4. Message that number any time to reach your assistant.

Can anyone else use my connection?

No. Each connected WhatsApp number belongs to the person who connected it, and other users cannot see or manage your connection. If a number is already connected by someone else, you see a clear Unauthorized message, so nobody can take over a connection that belongs to another person.

Where do I find my past conversations?

Every WhatsApp exchange is saved in the Dispatch tab and in your sidebar, where it is searchable, sortable and paginated. Text on the go, then review the full thread properly at your desk later.

What if my number is already connected somewhere else?

Confirm once and the number moves across. You do not need to disconnect it first or clean anything up by hand.

Who benefits most from this?

Anyone who spends the day away from a desk. WhatsApp is how most people in this market already communicate, so the assistant now sits in the app you check more than any other.

• Dead time becomes working time. The walk between meetings, the matatu ride, the queue — updating a deal takes one message.
• Client conversations get captured while they are fresh, not three hours later when half the detail is gone.
• Your whole team gets the assistant, including field sales and on-site staff, not just the people at a laptop.
• Answers arrive where decisions get made, in the meeting, at the client's premises or on the shop floor.

More Dispatch channels are on the way, including Slack and Instagram.

You will find this in the Dispatch tab, or under Customize → Dispatch, where you connect your WhatsApp number.
