WhatsApp AI agent for appliance dealers: models, promotions, installation slots and filter replacement reminders answered from one product list

Appliance dealers sell a product and then service it for years, and both halves run on WhatsApp: which model, how much with installation, when can you install, and later, time for a filter change or a service. An AI agent answers the sales questions from your list, books installation, and handles the service enquiries that keep customers for a decade.

Quick answer

Put a WhatsApp AI agent on your shop's number with models, specs, prices and promotions, installation fees and requirements, warranty, service and consumable prices (filters, gas top-up), and service intervals as knowledge. It recommends within your listed range, takes order and installation details, books installation and service slots, and answers maintenance questions. Site-specific installation quotes, warranty claims and technical faults stay with technicians. ReplyKit does this from $29 a month.

What the agent handles

Automate

  • Models with specs, capacities, prices and current promotions, and recommendations within the listed range for a stated need.
  • Installation fees, requirements and what the technician needs on site.
  • Warranty terms and what is covered.
  • Consumables and service: filter cartridges by model, service prices, gas top-up, with recommended intervals.
  • Order and installation details: model, address, preferred slot, saved for the team.
  • Installation and service booking into technician slots, with reminders.
  • Payment and instalment information as published.

Keep with a person

  • Site-specific installation quotes for unusual setups.
  • Fault diagnosis on installed units; the agent books a service visit.
  • Warranty claims and disputes.
  • Financing approval.

The after-sales half

Every installed unit is a future service enquiry. Put consumable prices by model and recommended intervals in the knowledge, and instruct the agent to ask for the model and installation date when a customer asks about service. It quotes the cartridge or service, books the visit, and the lead's card records the model for next time. Customers who get a fast, accurate answer about a filter change stay customers.

Setup for a dealer

  1. Use a dedicated number. ReplyKit connects your number through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform: keep the number you already use in the WhatsApp Business app and the agent works alongside it, or add a dedicated number. Personal WhatsApp numbers cannot be connected. Keep your long-standing number out of it; see Meta's messaging limits explained
  2. Upload the model list with prices and promotions; write installation, warranty and service prices as text.
  3. Add installation and service slots as services by technician area.
  4. Instruct the boundaries: no invented specs, faults to a visit, claims to staff.
  5. Connect the number through Meta's sign-in and test with "which purifier for a family of four, and how much installed in Puchong?".
