Original Summary

I run a small AI company, and I've spent the last few months building Zandolie, an AI agent for retailers and distributors who get flooded with "how much is this?" and "do you have it in stock?" messages on WhatsApp. The problem I kept seeing: staff spend hours answering the same price and stock questions, and most chatbots either give canned FAQ answers or, worse, make up prices. Meta recently launched its own free Business Agent, and it's a decent start. But it lives inside Meta's apps and works from the catalogue you upload, so it doesn't know what's actually on your shelf today. What I built works differently: - Checks live stock and prices in the store's inventory system (Zoho for now) at the moment a customer asks, per branch. The AI never writes the price itself; the numbers come straight from the system. - Acts like a salesperson: asks clarifying questions, recommends what's in stock, suggests the add-on you'll need (the cable for the cameras), and holds items. - Hands off to staff for discounts, big orders or unhappy customers, with an alert in Slack. -Works beyond WhatsApp: Instagram, Messenger, the store's own website and phone calls. It's in pilot with a two-branch hardware and electronic security distributor right now, and I've opened a waitlist. I'd really value honest feedback, especially from anyone who runs a store or handles customer messages: Would you trust an AI to quote prices to your customers if it only uses numbers from your system? What would make you not use something like this? Does the homepage make it clear what it does in the first 10 seconds?
