When a customer sends a message to your business WhatsApp number, it triggers the automation. 2. The system checks if the incoming message is a valid WhatsApp message or a status update. 3. The message is then processed to extract the customer's question. 4. The system uses AI to understand the question and search for relevant information in your company's knowledge base (documents, FAQs, etc., stored in Google Drive). 5. The AI generates a helpful response based on the information found. 6. The generated response is sent back to the customer via WhatsApp. 7. The system records the conversation for future analysis and improvement. 8. You can review the conversation history and update the knowledge base to improve the AI's accuracy over time. 9. If the AI cannot find a suitable answer, the message can be flagged for manual review by a staff member. ## What You Need to Set Up - A Meta for Developers account connected to your WhatsApp Business account, used for receiving and sending WhatsApp messages. - A Google Drive account containing your business's knowledge base (documents, FAQs, product information), used for the AI to find answers. - An OpenAI API key, used to power the AI's natural language processing and response generation. - A Qdrant account, used as a vector database to store and efficiently retrieve information for the AI. - A Webhook URL configured in your Meta for Developers App page for receiving messages. ## Example Use Cases - **Roofing:** A customer asks, "What type of roof is best for a coastal climate?"
