Overview

XCALLY supports the creation of AI chatbots (such as OpenAI ChatGPT, Amazon Lex, Google Dialogflow) for WhatsApp and other text channels.

So the platform allows you to configure action flows that send incoming WhatsApp messages to the bot to directly manage the conversation until possible. In this case there will be an hybrid flow where an AI bot handles the initial conversation and escalates to a human agent if needed.

So incoming WhatsApp messages can be routed from XCALLY to the bot (for instance ChatGPT) and the AI-generated response is sent back to XCALLY, which delivers the reply to the customer on WhatsApp, maintaining the conversation thread.
