WhatsApp AI Chatbot for Business: How It Works & What It Costs
13 Jul 2026 · 6 min read · Omixo AI
Why WhatsApp?
Your customers already live on WhatsApp. An AI chatbot on your official WhatsApp Business number replies instantly — reading photos and PDFs customers send, sharing catalogues, answering pricing, booking appointments and handing over to a human when needed.
What a good WhatsApp AI chatbot does
- Replies 24×7 on your green-tick WhatsApp Business number
- Reads customer images & documents
- Sends catalogues, brochures and payment links
- Shares one memory with your AI phone line — the caller who later messages is remembered
- Confirms COD orders and recovers abandoned carts (Shopify one-click)
Pricing
Typically per-AI-reply (e.g. ₹0.40/reply) plus Meta's conversation charges. You pay only for the AI's answers, not the customer's messages.
