AI chatbots for WhatsApp, Instagram and your website — trained on your business

We build AI chatbots that answer like your best salesperson: from your own prices and services, in Arabic and English, and they know when to hand over to a human.

Short answer

We develop AI chatbots for UAE businesses on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and your website. Most businesses don't need a chatbot built from scratch: we deploy OrcaFlo, our own AI assistant, and train it on your services, prices and brand voice (from $14.99 a month + 2¢ per message, or $100 a month Done-for-you). When you need something OrcaFlo doesn't do, we scope it as Custom Automation ($400–10,000).

AI vs rule-based

What makes an AI chatbot different

The old kind of chatbot is a menu: press 1 for prices, press 2 for location. It breaks the moment a customer types something it didn't expect — which, on WhatsApp and Instagram, is most of the time. Customers write in mixed Arabic and English, send voice notes, ask three questions in one message and come back two days later expecting you to remember them.

An AI chatbot reads the message the way a person would and answers from the information you gave it. A good one does four things well: it answers accurately from your own prices, services and policies instead of guessing; it qualifies the lead by asking the questions your sales team would ask; it remembers every customer across conversations; and it knows when to stop and hand the conversation to a person. That last part is what separates a useful chatbot from an embarrassing one.

What we build

Chatbot capabilities we deliver

Trained on your business

Your services, prices, opening hours and brand voice — so answers sound like you, not a generic bot.

Arabic & English

Replies in Arabic, including Khaleeji dialect, and in English, matching the language the customer writes in.

Voice notes & photos

Voice notes are transcribed instantly and photos are read by AI vision, so the bot can respond to either.

Lead qualification

Every lead is scored cold, warm or hot, and quiet leads get follow-ups at 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days.

Human takeover

When a lead is ready, the bot pauses and your team gets a push alert to reply from the shared inbox.

Persistent memory

The chatbot remembers every lead across every conversation, so customers never repeat themselves.

Channels

Where your chatbot can live

WhatsApp

The main channel for most UAE businesses. OrcaFlo connects to your existing WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official WhatsApp Business API or a QR link to the WhatsApp Business app. See our page on WhatsApp automation in the UAE for the difference.

Instagram and Messenger

OrcaFlo puts WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger in one inbox, with the same assistant answering on each. On Instagram it can also reply to comments with a DM — covered on our Instagram DM automation page.

Your website

The simplest route is a WhatsApp chat button on your site that opens a conversation with the same assistant, so every enquiry ends up in one place. If you need an embedded chat experience or a chatbot connected to your own systems, we scope it as a custom build.

Process

How we build your chatbot

Discovery

A free 20-minute call: what customers ask, what you sell, what the bot must never say, and who takes over hot leads.

Knowledge & testing

We load your services, prices and policies, then test the assistant on realistic conversations before any customer sees it.

Launch & tuning

It goes live on your channels. On the Done-for-you plan we keep tuning it from real conversations.

Testing is where most chatbots succeed or fail. We check that the bot quotes your real prices, declines to invent anything it wasn't told, routes the questions you always want a person to handle, and sounds like your business in both languages. You see it working before it goes live.

Examples

Chatbots in practice

  • Sales assistant for an online store: answers stock and delivery questions, takes the customer to the order, sends order confirmations and recovers abandoned carts.
  • Booking assistant for a clinic or salon: answers prices and timings, books the appointment, and sends reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before. More on our AI receptionist page.
  • Lead qualifier for services: greets every enquiry, asks your qualifying questions, scores the lead and alerts your team only when it's hot.
  • Internal assistant: OrcaFlo's "Ask Your Business" lets you chat with your own data in plain language, like which product got the most questions this month.

Pricing

What an AI chatbot costs

A chatbot on OrcaFlo costs $14.99 a month on Starter, where you set it up yourself, or $100 a month on Done-for-you, where we build and keep tuning it. Both add 2¢ per message, with a 14-day free trial, first 500 messages free and no setup fee.

Custom chatbot work that goes beyond OrcaFlo is quoted by scope at $400–10,000, plus $55–325 a month for maintenance. See pricing.

Why us

Why build your chatbot with us

We make and run our own AI assistant, so we are not guessing about how chatbots behave with real UAE customers — our partners run their sales conversations on it. Build-vs-buy is an honest conversation with us: if OrcaFlo already does what you need, we'll tell you, and you avoid paying for a custom build. If it doesn't, we build exactly what's missing, on the tools you already use, and maintain it.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does it take to build an AI chatbot?

A chatbot on OrcaFlo is typically live in days. A custom chatbot's timeline is included in the written proposal you get within 24 hours of the discovery call.

Can the chatbot answer in Arabic?

Yes. It replies in Arabic, including Khaleeji dialect, and in English.

Will the chatbot make up prices or answers?

It answers from the services, prices and policies you give it, and we test it before launch. Anything you want handled by a person can always be handed to your team.

Which channels can the chatbot work on?

WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger through OrcaFlo, in one inbox. For your website, a WhatsApp chat button connects visitors to the same assistant; an embedded widget can be scoped as a custom build.

Do I need a developer to maintain it?

No. On Done-for-you we keep tuning the assistant, and custom builds include fixes and updates for as long as you run them.

From $14.99 a month (Starter) or $100 a month (Done-for-you) plus 2¢ per message on OrcaFlo. Custom chatbot work is $400–10,000 by scope.
