The Story Behind SmartTalk: Turning a WhatsApp Number into a Smart Assistant

In the second half of 2024, two seasoned developers—each with nearly a decade of experience—decided to join forces. Their shared vision? To build a powerful yet simple solution to automate customer interactions on WhatsApp using AI.

The market signal: demand for WhatsApp bots was booming

While working on freelance platforms, one type of request kept coming up again and again:
"Can you build a WhatsApp bot?"

It wasn’t just about automation. Clients needed smart, AI-powered WhatsApp assistants capable of handling onboarding, answering FAQs, and delivering 24/7 customer support—without human intervention or partial one

The turning point came when one client managing multiple Airbnb rentals asked for a bot to fully handle guest communication—from check-in instructions to real-time support. That’s when the light bulb went off.

Why WhatsApp?

In many regions, especially across Africa, WhatsApp is the main channel for customer service. Businesses rely on it daily. But building an AI-powered WhatsApp bot often requires complex tools and technical skills—until now.

From real-world needs to a real-world solution

That’s how SmartTalk was born.
A no-code WhatsApp automation tool that turns your WhatsApp number into a smart AI assistant. No complex workflows. No technical setup. Just one simple interface that lets you train your bot to respond intelligently—day and night.
