With Sprio's WhatsApp AI agent, all customer interactions on WhatsApp are automated. Take care of inquiries, offer notifications, qualify leads and receive payments within the WhatsApp application, which is used by more than 500 million Indians.
Illustrative example. Not a real conversation.
A WhatsApp AI agent (more sophisticated than a WhatsApp chatbot) is software that can automatically handle customer chats on WhatsApp. Incoming messages, understanding of the customer's request in natural language (Hindi, regional Indian languages), and sending replies, triggering workflows and transferring to a human when necessary without the customer exiting from WhatsApp.
Unlike a basic auto-reply or a keyword bot, a WhatsApp AI agent can understand the context, query back, and perform a variety of actions, scheduling appointments, updating the CRM, sending links to pay, and even creating support tickets, all within one and the same chat window.
According to industry data from the leading platform for statistics and data on the internet, Statista ↗, India has the largest user base of WhatsApp in the world, with over 500 million users. WhatsApp is not a channel; it's a necessity for businesses across tier-2 cities in India, and Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune in particular. It's where your customers are, and where your customers want you to be.
Sprio connects to the tools your team already uses, so leads, orders and updates flow in on their own.
Indian customers now expect responses on WhatsApp in minutes, not hours. Manual handling does not scale, and silence costs you the customer.
From the first customer message to the final confirmation, here is what happens behind every Sprio WhatsApp conversation.
Beyond replies. Sprio will take real action, link your systems and execute entire customer journeys from front end to back end without lifting a finger.
Sprio reads all incoming WhatsApp messages and replies in seconds, anytime. Capable of understanding natural language in Hindi, Hinglish and English, comprehends context in multiple messages, and knows when to follow up with a question vs when to take action directly.
Send customised WhatsApp messages to lists of customers of any size. From 100 to 100,000 customers, Sprio can deal with bulk WhatsApp campaigns with customisation coming from your CRM. The number of people opening and reading WhatsApp campaigns is much higher than with SMS or email. Sprio tailors the text of each message to the person's name, order number or account information from your CRM.
A prospect messages you on the messaging platform WhatsApp, and Sprio responds, asks qualifying questions, scores the lead on purpose and passes only high-quality leads to their sales team. The complete qualification process takes place in the chat, so there's no need to fill out forms or make appointments.
Sprio can send the link of the payment gateway directly within the WhatsApp discussion thread, confirm when payment is received, add it to the CRM and send a receipt to the customer without them ever leaving WhatsApp. This decreases payment drop-off tremendously in comparison to the drop-off with email links.
Customers can check the availability, select a time slot and confirm a booking all from within the WhatsApp application. No back-and-forth calls, no missed appointments: Sprio checks your live calendar, blocks the slot, emails you a confirmation and sends you reminder emails prior to the appointment.
Sprio supports all WhatsApp media types, images, PDFs, videos, location pins, and interactive buttons. You can send product catalogues, property brochures, lab reports, insurance policy documents or video tutorials, all inside the same WhatsApp conversation.
When a conversation needs a human, Sprio hands it off to the right agent along with the full chat history and a context summary. The customer never has to explain their issue again. Your team can pick up any conversation mid-way and continue where the AI left off.
WhatsApp supports multiple message types for different business needs. Sprio manages all of them within a single platform.
Marketing messages require prior customer opt-in under WhatsApp Business policy. Sprio manages consent collection and opt-out as part of every campaign.

Sprio plugs into your existing CRM, calendar and payment systems. No ripping and replacing, no new infrastructure needed.
Also connects with Google Calendar, Calendly, Shiprocket, Tally and any system with a REST API or webhook. Sprio runs on the official WhatsApp Business API, giving your number verified sender status, access to approved message templates, broadcast campaign capabilities and full conversation analytics.
