What is the best WhatsApp chatbot for HVAC companies in Brazil?

The best WhatsApp chatbot for HVAC companies in Brazil is the one that answers on the number the company already uses, with business rules written by you. An AI agent on WhatsApp for an HVAC company is CertuAI's automatic assistant, connected to the number the company uses for customer service. It collects capacity in BTUs, square footage, floor and infrastructure before the quote, books the technical visit by region and contacts the customer on the agreed cleaning schedule.

What changes at the company with an AI agent?

What does a conversation handled by the AI look like?

Which is better for HVAC companies: an AI agent or manual customer service?

The agent wins at repetitive tasks, and people keep winning at what takes judgment. With manual service, someone at the company has to stop what they're doing; with the CertuAI agent the answer goes out on its own and you join the conversation whenever you want.

What questions do clients send on WhatsApp?

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

How much does it cost to install a 12,000 BTU split unit? My AC isn't cooling. How much is the visit? Do you do cleaning? How much is it? Do you serve my neighborhood? Which AC do you recommend for a 15 square meter bedroom? Do you have openings this week?
