What Changes for the Business
- Discovery audits map a client's work and rank what to automate first.
- Receptionist builds follow a blueprint with its costs and rules.
- WhatsApp support bots are built for clients from a repeatable plan.
- Client knowledge bases keep answers accurate.
Where It Slips Today
- Discovery calls end without a clear, priced next step.
- Every build starts from a blank page.
- Client bots give wrong answers because their documents are scattered.
The Setup
- Run a discovery audit. Use the discovery bots to map tasks and rank automation ideas.
- Pick a repeatable build. Start with the receptionist or WhatsApp support blueprint.
- Build the knowledge base. Collect the client's documents so their bots answer from facts.
- Hand over and support. Agree a care plan for updates and checks.
Start with the first step, run it for a few weeks, then add the next. Bots draft, you approve.
