WaKonect is a business-automation platform built around three core products: an AI Chatbot that answers website visitor questions and books appointments in-chat, WhatsApp Bulk Marketing for broadcasting personalised campaigns through the official WhatsApp Business API, and a Website Appointment Booking widget with real-time availability and automatic WhatsApp reminders. A separate WhatsApp AI Auto-Reply add-on answers every incoming customer WhatsApp message around the clock. WaKonect connects to WhatsApp through Meta's official Business Solution Provider (BSP) programme rather than an unofficial integration, so message templates go through Meta's standard approval process. The company markets industry-specific playbooks for schools, restaurants, e-commerce, real estate, clinics, and agencies (e.g. fee reminders, abandoned-cart recovery, table-booking reminders, property-listing follow-up). Pricing is a flat monthly platform fee on top of Meta's own per-conversation WhatsApp charges, which WaKonect says it never marks up. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and a permanently free tier offers a limited AI chat widget without WhatsApp features.
