## About the product

KaraboAI is a web-based, no-code platform for South African businesses that want to create and deploy AI-powered chatbots for customer support, sales, appointments, and data collection.

Key capabilities include:
- **3-step bot setup**: choose a bot type and persona, add business data (manual entry, **document uploads**, or **website links**), then deploy.
- **Purpose-built chatbot templates** for common workflows such as **24/7 customer support**, **quote and lead generation**, **appointment and calendar scheduling** (with calendar integration to help avoid booking conflicts), **event RSVPs**, **order acceptance**, **eCommerce sales assistants**, and **data room** chatbots that can verify user access and share relevant documents.
- **Multi-channel deployment**: embed a chatbot on any website (including a floating chat widget) or deploy on **WhatsApp Business** and **Facebook Messenger**.
- **Integrations and automation**: connect with tools such as **OpenAI**, **Shopify**, **WooCommerce**, **Google Calendar**, **Zapier**, plus **webhooks** for sending collected data to third-party systems.

Available on **Web**, with **API** documentation for developers.

It targets SMEs, entrepreneurs, consultancies, and eCommerce businesses that want to reduce support workload and capture leads or orders through conversational interfaces.

Notable in the South African market context, the product is built by local startup MobileGPT (Pty) Ltd (founded by Bertha Kgokong) and evolved from the MobileGPT app, which received the Govtech Digital Public Services Award (2023) and Hackernoon Startup of the Year for Johannesburg (2023).
