What is Whelp?

Whelp is an AI chat bot tool. Whelp combines AI support agents with an omnichannel inbox covering WhatsApp, web chat, SMS, email, voice and social messaging, giving teams one customer view and automatic handoff of complex cases to humans.

Whelp is a customer support platform built around two connected pieces: AI agents that answer routine questions and an omnichannel inbox that gathers every conversation into a single workspace. The pitch is aimed at teams whose channel count has outgrown their headcount, where the same order status or opening hours question arrives by WhatsApp, web chat, email and SMS on the same morning. The AI agent is trained on your own material, meaning help center articles, policies and product catalog, and it answers in your brand voice around the clock. It does more than return text: it can look up order status, bookings and account details, then take action such as updating a record. When a case is too complex or sensitive, the agent routes it to a human with the conversation history attached, so the customer does not repeat themselves. Whelp claims its AI automates up to 60% of inquiries, with higher figures cited for eCommerce. The inbox side covers WhatsApp, live chat, email, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, TikTok, LINE, Viber, Twilio SMS and voice, plus Amazon Connect. Agents see a unified customer profile with prior orders and channel history, and can assign, mention colleagues and leave private notes. Native iOS and Android apps keep replies moving away from a desk, and browser access needs no installation. Deeper plans add flow-based and dynamic chatbots, broadcasts, comment moderation and a mobile chat SDK. Fit depends on scale and channel mix. The free tier suits a single seat running a website widget. Standard is the entry point for teams that need WhatsApp Business API, SMS and email together, while AI agents sit on the Advanced plan and above. Organizations with strict data rules can discuss on-prem deployment and whitelabel through Premium. Compared with single-channel chatbot tools, Whelp's advantage is consolidation; the tradeoff is that the AI capability is gated behind a higher tier than the inbox itself.
