AI Integrations for Messengers & chat
Messengers are where customers and colleagues expect fast answers. Connecting AI to Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp Business or Microsoft Teams lets you answer routine questions, route requests, send alerts and summarize long threads, with a clear handoff to people.
What AI can do in messengers
Inbound: customer questions, internal requests and alerts from other systems. Process: classify the message, look up the answer in approved information, collect missing details and decide who should handle it. Outbound: replies, notifications to the right channel, daily digests and ticket updates.
Rules and good manners
Each platform has its own rules for bots and business messaging, especially for messaging customers first, so check them before building. Tell people they are talking to an AI, make it easy to reach a person and keep conversation logs secure. Internally, limit which channels a bot can read.
FAQ
