📖 Article 1: No UI, No Middleware, Just Sales – WhatsApp AI Bot Case Study
As explained by: Unknown Author | 📅 Published: 2025-08-13T04:10:46Z
💡 Summary
🤖 We Built a Smart WhatsApp Ordering Assistant with GPT-4.1, Voice, and Zero UI
Most WhatsApp bots feel like old-school IVRs pushy, slow, and painful to use. We wanted to change that.
What if a WhatsApp chat could:
- Take your order like a real human?
- Understand your voice notes?
- Communicate in many languages?
- Suggest items based on your history?
- And do all this without any app, UI, or buttons?
We made that happen.
🎯 Business Goals
Here’s what we set out to build:
- Zero Setup : No app install, just use WhatsApp
- Feels Human : Chat like a salesperson, not a bot
- Multilingual : Works in Hindi and English
- Voice Support : Talk instead of type
- Help-Ready : Sends manuals and YouTube links
- Cheap to Run: Avoid third-party platforms
🛒 Features Built
Our assistant supports natural, voice-first commerce:
- New Orders : "I need 3 air filters and 2 pumps"
- Repeat Orders : "Repeat my last purchase"
- Cart Management : "Remove the pump from cart"
- Memory : Suggests items based on past orders
- Voice Friendly : Accepts WhatsApp voice notes
- Order Tracking : "Where's my last order?"
- Product Help : Sends YouTube/manual links
