Handed to a human, Maya

She picks up with the full conversation and context carried over. No dead ends, no repeating.

Wati is a popular WhatsApp-first platform for small and mid-sized businesses, with a clean shared inbox and solid tools for the WhatsApp Business API. If WhatsApp is the one channel you care about, Wati is a focused and capable option.

MessageAgent is for teams who need more than WhatsApp. One AI brain, with shared memory and a lightweight CRM, follows the customer across SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook DM, web chat, and email, so a conversation that starts on Instagram can continue by text or email without losing context. Pricing is a flat, predictable subscription, and crucially, carrier and Meta message fees are passed through at cost with no markup, rather than the roughly 20 percent markup common on WhatsApp-first tools. Compliance is built in: AI disclosure, WhatsApp opt-in and templates, TCPA opt-out, and clean human handoff.
