About Durban — and why this matters for local businesses
Durban's economy mixes tourism, port logistics, and a growing tech sector in Umhlanga. The relaxed coastal business culture means many clinics and service firms operate with small teams — automation is the only realistic way to handle peak demand (December holidays, conference season) without hiring seasonal staff.

Questions from Durban business owners
Will this get my WhatsApp number banned?
No — we use the official WhatsApp Business API, which is designed for automation and is approved by Meta. Unofficial tools (web scrapers, Puppeteer-based bots) do get banned, but the Business API is fully compliant.
How much does it cost per message?
Meta charges per conversation (24-hour window), not per message. For Durban businesses this typically works out to R0.30–R0.90 per conversation. Most clients see 5–10× ROI in the first month.
Can my team still jump in when needed?
Yes. The AI handles qualification and FAQs; real conversations escalate to your team's shared inbox. You can take over any conversation at any time — the AI hands off seamlessly.
