WhatsApp AI Sales Agent — Developer Application

We're building an AI assistant that quotes car parts to customers on WhatsApp — reading live price and stock from Shopify, not answering FAQs. ~300 enquiries/day. Client is a UAE parts retailer; we're the consultancy running it.

Paid pilot first (4–6 weeks), then ongoing work for whoever delivers it.

Takes about 10 minutes. Everything is required — we'd rather have fewer, complete applications.
