Home › WhatsApp AI Agent: How It Works on Your Number

How the AI agent works inside your WhatsApp number

You link your numbers by scanning a QR code, just like WhatsApp Web. From then on, every conversation sits in one inbox and the AI agent gets to work on it.

Several numbers, one inbox

One, five or ten WhatsApp numbers on the same screen, each in its own column, on your computer or your phone.

Instant replies

Someone messages at eleven at night and gets a sensible reply within two minutes. You see it in the morning, already sorted.

Follow-ups nobody forgets

If a customer goes quiet after asking for a quote, one friendly nudge two days later. If they said they would think about it, a reminder after four. Once, and then they are left alone.

How WhatsApp is connected

MultiChats links each number as a device, exactly like WhatsApp Web: you scan a code with your phone and you're done. We don't use the official WhatsApp Business API, which requires Meta-approved, pay-per-message templates to start a conversation, and many small businesses would rather keep using their own number as it is.

It's worth knowing that Meta can restrict a number that sends messages in bulk. That's why MultiChats applies daily caps per number, pauses between messages, varied wording and an alert if three messages in a row go undelivered. At that pace, usage looks like a person typing on their phone.

What you see in the inbox

  • Each number as its own WhatsApp screen, with its chats, photos and voice notes.
  • Filters: awaiting reply, interested, thinking it over, gone quiet, not interested, customers.
  • The agent's draft in every conversation, ready to send or edit.
  • What works: reply rates by message, by number and by time of day.
  • The health of each number: how many messages are delivered and read, with an automatic brake if something looks wrong.

And when someone says yes

The agent marks them as interested and, if you want, sends them your sign-up or payment link. Conversations that need a person (a call, a negotiation, a complaint) stop and land in your "needs a human" list.

Who it's for

Businesses that receive enquiries on WhatsApp and can't always answer them in time: service businesses, small sales teams, agencies running several numbers, estate agents, clinics, dealerships. If conversations sometimes sit unanswered for two days, that's the gap the agent closes.

MultiChats is built for conversations with people who have already contacted you or given you their number. In the UK and the EU, unsolicited electronic marketing generally needs prior consent (PECR and the ePrivacy rules), and UK GDPR or the EU GDPR applies to the personal data. You decide who you message and you remain responsible for it. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my personal number?

You can, and you will see all your chats in the inbox, but we recommend a dedicated business number. You can also set a number to "view only" so the AI never touches it.

Does my phone have to stay on?

The phone needs to connect to the internet at least once every 14 days; it doesn't need to be next to you. The inbox runs on your computer or on one of our servers.

What happens if a number gets blocked?

We alert you straight away, that number stops sending and the others carry on. We work with limits so it doesn't happen, but we can't guarantee it: it's up to Meta.

Which language does it reply in?

In the language your customer writes in. Tell us how you write (British spelling, first names or formal tone) and the agent follows those rules.

Can I check its replies before they go out?

Yes. Draft mode is what we recommend for the first week: the agent writes, you press send. Once it sounds like you, switch that number to automatic.

Shall we try it on a real conversation from your business?
