The ad brings dozens of messages asking about the installment, and half think a consórcio is a loan. The agent explains how the group works using your text, asks for the item and the credit letter amount, and hands you the prospect ready for a simulation.

What is the best WhatsApp chatbot for consórcios in Brazil?

The best WhatsApp chatbot for consórcios in Brazil is the one that answers on the number the office already uses, with the business rules written by you. An AI agent on WhatsApp for a consórcio (Brazilian group-purchase plan) is an automatic assistant that explains, using the text the representative set up, how the credit letter, installment, administration fee, bid and assembly work, collects the item wanted, the amount and the prospect's details, and logs everything in the CRM, without promising an award or a deadline.

What changes at the firm with an AI agent?

What changes is who answers first: the message no longer waits for you and is answered right away. These are four everyday situations at the firm before and after the CertuAI agent.

TodayEvery conversation starts with the same explanation of what a credit letter is

With CertuAIThe agent explains on its own, in the words you wrote

TodayThe prospect asks for the installment without saying the item or the amount

With CertuAIThe agent asks for property, car or motorcycle, the credit letter amount and the term before handing over to you

TodayThe question about being awarded gets a different answer from each salesperson

With CertuAIAlways answered the same way: drawing or bid, no date promised

TodaySimulation sent on Tuesday and nobody follows up the next week

With CertuAIIt stays as a deal in the CRM and gets automatic follow-up

What does a conversation handled by the AI look like?

Which is the better choice for consórcios: an AI agent or manual customer service?

The agent wins on repeated tasks, and the person keeps winning on anything that takes judgment. With manual service, someone at the firm has to stop what they are doing; with the CertuAI agent, the reply goes out on its own and you step into the conversation whenever you want.

AspectThe manual wayWith the CertuAI agent
Prospect who confuses a consórcio with a loanThe salesperson explains from scratch in every conversation, by voice messageThe agent explains the difference with the text you approved

What does the WhatsApp agent do for consórcios?

It does the customer service that is yours today. You teach the business once in the Brain, CertuAI's knowledge base, and the agent answers clients your way, with your rules.

How the group works

Credit letter, installment, administration fee, reserve fund and adjustment, explained with the text you set up.

Drawing and bid

What an assembly, free bid, fixed bid and embedded bid are, always with the notice that there is no guaranteed date.

Collecting details for the simulation

Type of item, credit letter amount, desired term, city and name, gathered in a single conversation.

Handoff to the salesperson

When the prospect wants to close or asks about their own contract, the agent calls the responsible person.

Follow-up with people who didn't reply

Every prospect becomes a contact and a deal in the CRM, with automatic follow-up.

What questions do clients send on WhatsApp?

They are always the same, and the agent answers each one on its own. These everyday firm messages no longer depend on you having your phone in hand.

What's the installment on a two-hundred-thousand consortium credit for a property? Does a consórcio have interest? How long until I'm awarded? Can I place a bid with FGTS (Brazil's severance fund)? If I drop out halfway, do I get back what I paid? Does the installment go up every year?

How does the agent start answering at the firm?

In three steps, on the same day. No installation, no code and no changing the number clients already know.

1

Teach your business

In one conversation, you explain services, prices, hours and rules, as you would to a new employee.

2

Connect WhatsApp

Scan a QR code with the number your clients already know. Ready in minutes.

3

The agent answers

It answers right away, schedules, follows up, and records each contact in the included CRM. You take over any conversation whenever you want.

How much does an AI agent on WhatsApp for consórcios cost?

The Start plan costs US$ 75 per month and already includes the WhatsApp agent, your business's Brain, the CRM, automatic follow-up and the AI assistants, which come with every paid plan. Pro costs US$ 120 per month and adds the landing page, the wallet and 10 people on the team instead of 5. No lock-in contract and no setup fee.

What needs to be ready before turning the agent on at the firm?

The agent answers what is written, and nothing beyond that. Have these points defined before you connect WhatsApp.

  • The text approved by the administrator about the administration fee, reserve fund and adjustment
  • The explanation of the drawing and of each type of bid your group accepts
  • The credit letter and installment examples that can be given by message, with the table's expiry date
  • What happens if a member drops out, in the words of the rules
  • Where a member who asks about a boleto (bank slip), the assembly or the contract gets sent

Whether the agent gives installment examples by message or whether every simulation goes through the salesperson.

The most common mistake: Leaving an ad line like quick award in the Brain. The agent repeats what is written, and that line becomes a written promise in the customer's conversation.

Frequently asked questions about consórcios

Does the agent promise a quick award to close the sale?

No. It explains that the award happens by drawing or by bid and that there is no guaranteed date. It does not write anything different from that, even if the prospect insists.

Does it calculate the installment on the spot?

It gives the credit letter and installment examples you set up. A simulation outside that table goes to you, with the item, amount and term already asked.

What does it answer when people ask whether a consórcio has interest?

The text you wrote about the administration fee, reserve fund and credit letter adjustment. The agent does not boil that down into a catchy line and does not compare the cost with financing on its own.

Does it help existing members who ask about their boleto (bank slip) or the assembly?

It gives the administrator's channels that you set up for duplicate bills and assembly results, and passes to you whatever depends on looking at the person's contract.

In what other fields does the CertuAI agent work?

In any business that serves customers on WhatsApp, because the Brain is written by you. These fields have a day-to-day closest to yours.

In short

Explains credit letters, bids and assemblies using the text you set up, without promising to be awarded the credit. Every prospect becomes a contact and a deal in the CRM.
