What does a conversation handled by the AI look like?
Example conversation
Armoring company AI agent
Customer: Do you armor this model? What level do you offer?
AI agent: Send me the model and year and I'll check the list of vehicles we accept.
AI agent: On the level, I'll explain what goes into each one the armoring company offers, and the consultant will talk to you.
Is an AI agent or manual service better for vehicle armoring companies?
The agent wins on repeated tasks, and a person keeps winning on what requires judgment. With manual service, someone at the armoring company has to stop what they're doing; with the CertuAI agent the answer goes out on its own and you step into the conversation whenever you want.
| Aspect | The manual way | With the CertuAI agent |
|---|---|---|
| First question about armoring | The consultant has to stop in-person service to answer | Answered instantly, with the terms you published |
| Whether the customer's model is covered | Depends on whoever answers knowing the list by heart | Checked against the list of models you recorded |
| Turnaround time | Given from memory, varying with each conversation | Always the lead time you keep up to date |
| Scheduling the vehicle assessment | Arranged by phone, without confirmation | Logged in the conversation, with a reminder the day before |
| Customer who already has an armored car and wants service | Goes into the same queue as someone who wants a quote for new armoring | Separated into another deal in the CRM, with the right flow |
What does the WhatsApp agent do for vehicle armoring companies?
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.
Checking the model against the list
Checks model and year against the vehicles you accept, instead of answering from memory.
Lead time, queue and warranty
Turnaround time, the current queue and the warranty coverage, always the same, the way you maintain them.
Explaining the protection packages
What goes into each level your company offers, without the agent recommending a level on its own.
Logging the prospect's vehicle
Model, year and what the prospect is looking for, all in writing before reaching the consultant.
Separating service and maintenance
Someone who already has an armored car goes into a different flow from someone who wants a quote for new armoring.
What questions do clients send on WhatsApp?
They are always the same, and the agent answers each one on its own. These everyday messages at the armoring company no longer depend on you having your phone in hand.
How does the agent start answering at the armoring company?
In three steps, on the same day. No installation, no code and no changing the number clients already know.
Teach your business
In one conversation, you explain catalog, prices, delivery, warranty, and rules, the way you would to a new employee.
The agent answers
It answers right away, logs every request and quote in the included CRM and follows up with people who went quiet.
How much does a WhatsApp AI agent cost for vehicle armoring companies?
The Start plan costs US$ 75 per month and already includes the WhatsApp agent, your business Brain, the CRM, automatic follow-up and 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 contract and no setup fee.
What needs to be ready before turning on the agent at the armoring company?
The agent answers what is written, and nothing beyond that. Have these points defined before you connect WhatsApp.
- The list of models and years the company armors, and those it turns down because of structure or suspension
- The protection level you offer and what goes into each package: glass, doors, roof and wheel wells
- The turnaround time by vehicle size and the current waiting queue
- The warranty offered, what it covers and what voids it
- How the paperwork part works and what remains the customer's responsibility
- What the company does for an already armored car: service, glass replacement, retightening
Whether the agent publishes the armoring price range or whether every number comes from the consultant, after seeing the car.
The most common mistake: Letting the agent say from memory whether a model is covered. The list changes with every new project, and a wrong yes turns into a customer who has already made plans counting on the date. Read how to fix this.
