WhatsApp AI agents,

WhatsApp calling

Customers can call your agent on WhatsApp

Prefer talking to typing? A customer taps the call button in your chat and your AI agent answers — the same agent, the same languages. Calling needs a WhatsApp daily messaging limit of at least 2,000 people, which Meta sets.

WhatsApp call Live

One tap, no number to dial

The agent you already built answers

No phone line to rent

  • One tap, no number to dial

    The customer taps the call button in the WhatsApp chat they already have with you. The call runs over the internet — no phone charges for them.

  • The agent you already built answers

    The same agent that handles your chat and phone line picks up, in the customer's language, from your knowledge base.

  • No phone line to rent

    A WhatsApp call has no carrier in the middle, so it needs no rented number.

  • One switch per number

    Turn calls on or off, set call hours and closed days, and choose whether the call button shows — all from the Calls window on Connect WhatsApp.

Use cases

What WhatsApp AI agents are best for

WhatsApp is India's #1 channel. These are the jobs an AI agent there does best — especially in regional languages.

01

COD confirmation + RTO reduction

Confirm COD orders on WhatsApp in the buyer's language within minutes of order placement. If the buyer doesn't reply, the number is already in your calling campaign audience for a follow-up call.

02

Lead qualification for real estate / BFSI

Reply to inbound leads on WhatsApp instantly. Qualify budget, locality, timeline — structured fields written back to your CRM. Warm leads handed to sales with full transcript.

03

Customer support in Hindi + regional languages

24/7 WhatsApp support in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and more. Agents answer only from your help center content with source links, and hand off to humans for edge cases with sentiment-aware escalation.

04

Appointment booking for clinics & salons

Booking over WhatsApp. The agent calls your calendar tool over MCP to read availability, books a slot, and sends a confirmation message — all within the WhatsApp thread.

05

Fee reminders for coaching & K-12

Regional-language fee reminders to parents with a pay-now link, sent as a scheduled broadcast or a drip sequence that exits the moment a parent replies or opts out.

06

Policy renewal for insurance

Automated WhatsApp outreach for motor, health and life insurance renewal — in the policyholder's preferred language. Capture consent, payment, or callback request structurally.

What it does

Capabilities

01

37 reply languages

All 22 scheduled Indian languages (Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, and more) in native script, plus global languages, including Hinglish code-switching. One knowledge base serves every one of them.

One agent definition Live

Web chat

02

WhatsApp + voice + web chat unified

One agent definition powers all three surfaces, and a short digest of a customer's history on the other channels rides along into every conversation — including a live phone call. By default the agent will say you've spoken on WhatsApp before but withholds what was said until the caller verifies.

03

WhatsApp Business API native

Direct on Meta's Cloud API — no reseller in the middle. Bring your verified Meta Business account and we onboard the number with you.

04

Answers from your knowledge base

Crawl your site 1–3 levels deep, import a sitemap, paste text, or upload txt, md, csv and text-layer PDFs. The agent answers only from your content, and includes a source link on every reply so users can verify.

05

Tool calling

CRM lookups, Shopify order status and tracking, payment links, appointment slots — the agent calls real APIs and writes back to your systems. Consent is per tool, off by default, capped at eight tools per agent.

06

Template messages + session messages

We handle WhatsApp's template approval flow, session windows, and message pricing correctly so you do not have to think about it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can ThinnestAI run an AI agent on WhatsApp Business API?

+

Yes. ThinnestAI connects directly to the WhatsApp Business API on Meta's Cloud API. You bring your verified WhatsApp Business number, we onboard it with you, and incoming WhatsApp messages flow through the same LLM / RAG / tool pipeline we use for web chat and voice. The agent itself is configured in a tabbed settings screen — prompt, knowledge, channels, actions, templates.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account?

+

Yes. WhatsApp Business API is a paid product from Meta and requires a verified Meta Business account. ThinnestAI connects to it directly over Meta's Cloud API rather than through a reseller. As an approved Meta Tech Provider we run Embedded Signup, so connecting your number is self-serve: sign in with Facebook, pick the number, and you are live in minutes.

Does ThinnestAI handle Hindi, Marathi, Tamil WhatsApp conversations?

+

Yes. Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati and Hinglish code-switching are handled natively. One agent replies in 37 languages, including all 22 scheduled Indian languages in their native script, off a single knowledge base and with no per-language surcharge.

How does WhatsApp + voice work together on ThinnestAI?

+

One agent definition serves both. When someone who has messaged you on WhatsApp rings your number, we match them by phone number and give the voice agent a short digest of that history, so the call does not start from zero. By default the agent will acknowledge you have spoken before but withholds what was said until the caller verifies — caller ID is spoofable, so records are linked rather than merged. The agent will not start a conversation on a different channel by itself; outbound calls run as calling campaigns you set up.

What's the pricing for WhatsApp agents?

+

WhatsApp message costs depend on Meta's conversation-based pricing. On top of that, ThinnestAI bills each reply usage-based, not a flat quoted rate. For combined WhatsApp + voice agents, voice minutes are billed at our flat voice rate — ₹2/min on standard voices, ₹2.5/min on premium voices — all-inclusive, with telephony, speech recognition, the LLM and the voice in the price either way, billed in 30-second pulses. Prices are pre-GST.

Can I build WhatsApp bot for my Shopify store?

+

Yes. Shopify is a shipped integration on both lanes — a no-auth Storefront connection for catalogue, cart and checkout, and an OAuth Admin connection for order status and tracking. Your backend can also post an event such as order.delivered to our Events API to enrol that customer in a WhatsApp drip sequence, with consent re-checked at every send. See our /industries/ecommerce-voice-ai page for the full D2C playbook.

How is ThinnestAI different from AiSensy, Wati or Interakt?

+

AiSensy, Wati and Interakt are WhatsApp-first messaging platforms. ThinnestAI is an AI agent builder that happens to support WhatsApp as one channel, alongside voice and web chat. If WhatsApp is your only channel, AiSensy/Wati are cheaper and simpler. If you need WhatsApp + voice + RAG + tool calling unified, ThinnestAI is the better fit.

Can customers call my AI agent on WhatsApp?

+

Yes. A customer taps the call button in your WhatsApp chat and your AI agent answers, in their language. It is billed at your normal voice rate, by the minute; Meta does not charge for calls customers start, and we add nothing on top. WhatsApp requires a daily messaging limit of at least 2,000 people before calling can be switched on. Today the customer starts the call; the agent ringing a customer on WhatsApp is not available yet.

Who can turn on WhatsApp calling?

+

Any business whose WhatsApp daily messaging limit is at least 2,000 people — a rolling 24 hours, counted across the whole business, not per number. Verifying your business is the fastest way there. WhatsApp Manager may show an older per-number figure of 250; the business-wide limit is the one Meta checks, and the Calls window in ThinnestAI shows it.

Do I need a BSP to use ThinnestAI on WhatsApp?

+

No. ThinnestAI talks to Meta's Cloud API directly, so there is no reseller layer and no BSP margin between you and Meta. You keep ownership of your WhatsApp Business Account and your number.
