What is a WhatsApp AI agent?

Your WhatsApp AI agent reads incoming messages, understands what customers want, and replies automatically. Visito can fetch live context from supported systems, recommend the right next step, send payment links, and route complex requests directly to your team. It handles text, voice notes, and images across 100+ languages.

Businesses use it to stop losing opportunities to slow replies, recover customers who go quiet, and convert message volume into support, sales, and marketing outcomes.

Visito also recovers abandoned conversations. If a customer asks a question, requests a quote, and then goes quiet, it can follow up automatically with a personalized message and the right next step.

Two ways to connect to WhatsApp. Pick the way that works for your business:

Many teams choose the WhatsApp Business API for its deeper integration and higher messaging limits. But if you want the fastest possible setup without changing anything, WhatsApp's coexistence function gets you live in minutes.

Connection methodWhat it isBest for
WhatsApp Business APIA direct connection where Visito manages your number through Meta's Business API. Deeper integration, higher messaging limits, full automation.Businesses that want maximum control and scale. Works with a brand-new number or your existing one.
WhatsApp Business App coexistenceKeep your existing WhatsApp Business App number active on your phone and run the AI agent in parallel through Visito.Businesses that want a low-friction setup without migrating anything.

Business API

The preferred setup for teams that want deeper integration, higher limits, and full automation. Works with a new number or your existing one.

To connect your existing number to the Business API, it first needs to be unlinked from the WhatsApp app. Rather than deleting it, which wipes your chat history, go to Settings → Change number and move your account to a secondary number. Your full conversation history moves with it, your original number is freed up for Visito, and customers keep reaching you on the same number they already know.

See the WhatsApp Business API setup guide.

Coexistence

Your WhatsApp Business App keeps running on your phone exactly as it does today. Visito runs alongside it. Nothing to migrate, nothing to reconfigure.

See the coexistence setup guide.

WhatsApp AI agent FAQ

What's the difference between a WhatsApp chatbot and a WhatsApp AI agent?

A WhatsApp chatbot follows fixed scripts and decision trees. A WhatsApp AI agent uses large language models to understand free-form messages, voice notes, and media, then takes actions like checking availability, recommending options, sending payment links, or updating connected systems through API calls.

Does Visito work with the WhatsApp Business API?

Yes. Visito is an official Meta Business Partner. Your AI agent runs on the WhatsApp Business API with a verified business number, green checkmark eligibility, and full template messaging support.

Which tools does Visito integrate with?

Visito connects with supported commerce, hospitality, fitness, messaging, website, and payment tools, including Shopify, Stripe, ABC GloFox, Cloudbeds, WordPress, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and WebChat. New integrations are added regularly.

Can the AI agent take payments inside WhatsApp?

Yes. The agent can send a secure payment link inside the conversation and keep payment context connected to the customer thread.

How many languages does Visito support?

100+, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi. Detection is automatic.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses can start testing Visito quickly after connecting their WhatsApp Business number, knowledge sources, and supported tools.

How much does a WhatsApp AI agent cost?

Visito starts at $99/month. Pricing scales with message volume across three tiers. See full pricing.

Does Visito only work for hotels?

No. Visito is built for businesses that manage support, sales, bookings, or leads through messaging. Hotels remain an important use case, but Visito also works for many customer-facing teams.

Can I keep my existing WhatsApp Business number when I add an AI agent?

Yes, with either method. Coexistence is the fastest way and keeps your number active on the WhatsApp Business App while Visito runs in parallel. If you want the tighter Business API integration on the same number, you can use WhatsApp's "Change number" feature to move your existing chat history to a secondary number, then connect the freed-up original number to Visito through the API. Either way, customers keep reaching you at the number they already know.

Do I need to apply for the WhatsApp Business API myself?

No. Visito handles the API access through Meta as an official Business Partner. You either bring an existing WhatsApp Business App number (coexistence) or provision a new dedicated number, and Visito takes care of the rest.

Can I send WhatsApp messages programmatically through Visito?

Yes. Visito ships a REST API for sending WhatsApp template messages. Generate an API key from your dashboard, follow the authentication guide, and call the messaging endpoint. Many customers point Claude Code or Codex at the docs along with a customer list and have the AI write the campaign for them.
