What is a WhatsApp chatbot?

Automate customer conversations on the world's most-used messaging app

A WhatsApp chatbot is an automated assistant connected to your WhatsApp Business account via the official WhatsApp Business API. It uses conversational AI and pre-built flows to understand customer messages and respond instantly - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in any language.

WhatsApp has over 2 billion active users across 180+ countries. Businesses that deploy chatbots on WhatsApp are reaching customers where they already spend hours every day - with open rates of 98% and response rates 3–5× higher than email.

TextNow's WhatsApp chatbot builder lets you design, test, and deploy your bot without writing a single line of code - using AI Studio's visual canvas. Deploy in hours and start automating from day one.
