A legion of untiring sales agents, powered by ChatGPT
Hi YC! This is Aromal and Arjun, the founders of ZOKO.
Zoko (https://www.zoko.io/) now lets ecommerce merchants add a fully-functioning sales agent to their WhatsApp Business number in a few minutes.
Here’s a video of how it works
Who is it for
We are building this for the 200M monthly active businesses on WhatsApp. Most business today, use WhatsApp as fancy SMS - i.e. for sending out marketing blasts. They don’t have a way to scale sales inside WhatsApp.
Our Backstory
🤔 We started off with an ecommerce business, entirely on WhatsApp, which grew to a customer base of 200K followers on Facebook, who would make purchases after seeing our weekly product drops on WhatsApp.
Other businesses started reaching out to us, offering to pay for our "WhatsApp sales tools". That was the Aha moment! We realized that selling these tools to other businesses, was the way to go and launched a SaaS business. Through the good grace of a lot of people helping us along the way - we got paying customers, investors, even YC and making millions in revenue profitably! yay!
