What exactly is “coexistence”? +
Coexistence lets one number run on the WhatsApp Business app and Cloud API at the same time. Staff keep replying from the phone while your team inbox, AI agent and automations work on the same number.
What stops the AI making things up? +
AI only has what you gave it: prices, policies and delivery zones. It does not guess or promise what you cannot deliver; it passes anything outside that to a person. Most owners review and correct it for the first week.
What happens to the chats my staff answer on their phones? +
They appear in the shared inbox and count towards reporting. Your team keeps working the way they always have, while you get visibility over all of it.
Will I lose my chat history and contacts? +
No. Roughly the last six months of chats and your contacts sync into the inbox when you link the number. Older archives stay on the phone.
Can my staff still use the app on their phones? +
Yes. Voice notes, status updates, groups and personal follow-ups keep working. Phone replies appear in the shared inbox; messages sent by AI or dashboard agents appear on the phone.
Do I need a new number or a new SIM? +
No. Keep the number already on your shopfront, vehicles and Instagram bio. Nothing for your customers to change.
How long does setup take? +
Most businesses are live within 48 hours, or the same day if Business Manager is verified. Meta verification can add a few working days. We prepare the documents and chase it for you.
What do I need to have ready? +
An active WhatsApp Business app number, Business Manager account (we can create one), registration certificate or KRA PIN, and a website or active social page.
What does Meta charge on top? +
Meta charges for marketing, utility and authentication templates at published Kenya rates. Customer-started conversations are free to reply to within 24 hours. We bill at cost, with no markup, and use the free service window wherever possible.
Can I bulk-message my customer list? +
Yes, with opted-in customers and Meta-approved templates. Bought lists can damage your quality rating and restrict your number. We build compliant opt-in into your flows and monitor your quality rating.
Does the AI understand Kiswahili and Sheng? +
Yes, including code-switched messages. AI replies in the customer's language, with the tone you choose. Every reply is reviewable, and you can correct it any time.
Who owns the number and the data? +
You do. The account is registered under your business. If you leave, we export your data and hand it over. We process data under the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.
Is there a contract lock-in? +
Monthly plans are month-to-month; cancel with 30 days' notice. Annual plans run for twelve months in exchange for two months free and a waived setup fee.
