Where Inboxi is different
- The agent is part of the plan: Every plan includes an AI agent and monthly AI credits, and replies written by your team never use credits.
- More than WhatsApp: Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, TikTok, email and your website chat arrive in the same inbox as WhatsApp.
- Arabic as your customers write it: You pick the dialect the agent writes in: Saudi, Kuwaiti, Emirati, Egyptian or Modern Standard Arabic.
- Stores from the Gulf: Products from Salla, Zid or Shopify sync into the agent's knowledge, so it can show them and take the order in the chat.
When Wati is the better choice
If WhatsApp is your only channel and your team is already settled on Wati, staying can be the simpler choice. Choose on what your team will use every day.
