## About the product

rather.chat is an AI-powered WhatsApp conversational sales and customer engagement platform built for businesses that want to capture, engage, and convert customers through real-time chat.

Key capabilities focus on moving customers from interest to action inside WhatsApp:
- **Lead capture and qualification (Contact):** captures leads and qualifies them immediately after form capture to reduce delays between enquiry and first contact.
- **Conversational engagement (Connect):** keeps customers in guided conversations by **answering questions**, sharing information, and providing **quotes** that support consideration.
- **Conversion workflows (Convert):** offers WhatsApp-based flows designed to help customers complete actions that close sales and drive revenue.
- **Chatbot automation:** uses AI-powered automation to handle many sales interactions with low human intervention.

Available on **Web** (WhatsApp-based experiences) and supports **website chat integration**; an API is referenced but no public documentation link is provided.

It targets **B2B teams**, especially South African companies using WhatsApp for sales, marketing communication, customer service, and support.

In the South African context, the company publishes local usage metrics, including **17M South Africans reached**, **300M+ messages processed**, **200k+ chatbot sales concluded**, and **85%** of chatbot sales completed without human intervention.
