Versatik extends its AI voice and chat agents to WhatsApp: calls and messages directly in the app, with the same business scenarios as classic telephony. One more channel, no added complexity to your stack.

Versatik extends its AI agents (voice and chat) to WhatsApp: your customers can now reach you by message or call directly from the app, and chat with an intelligent assistant 24/7. Same business logic, same automation scenarios, one more channel — without adding complexity to your infrastructure.
1. WhatsApp is no longer an "optional" channel
With more than two billion users, WhatsApp has become the default communication layer in many regions of the world. For many customers, it is no longer an alternative channel — it's the natural channel to interact with a business.
Until now, companies often separated their classic telephony, voice AI tools, and WhatsApp communications, with different stacks for each use case. The result: more friction, fragmented customer journeys, and AI use cases hard to scale.
2. What Versatik adds: the same AI agent, also on WhatsApp
Versatik already designs AI agents capable of answering phone calls, handling web conversations, and automating much of front-desk and support. The new step: these same agents can now operate on WhatsApp, in messages and calls, without rebuilding scenarios or duplicating integrations.
Concretely, the same AI assistant can:
- Answer an inbound call on your regular phone number.
- Answer a WhatsApp call to that same number.
- Continue the conversation via WhatsApp messages if needed (confirmation, link, summary, etc.).
For the company, this isn't another "tangle of tools" — it simply extends the AI's reach to WhatsApp users.
3. WhatsApp messages: automate exchanges with 90%+ open rates
WhatsApp messages have open rates above 90%, which makes them an ideal channel for confirmations, notifications, and follow-ups. Combined with an AI agent, they become a true conversational channel.
Typical use cases:
- Confirmations and reminders: orders, appointments, shipments — sent directly in WhatsApp with the option for the customer to reply and ask a question.
- Self-service: FAQ, case follow-up, info updates, slot changes.
- Authentication & OTP: sending verification codes via WhatsApp instead of SMS, with better deliverability and less carrier filtering.
The AI agent handles the exchange in real time, routes to a human if needed, and feeds your internal tools with collected data.
4. WhatsApp calls: your voicebots also answer in the app
Key new building block: your business number can now receive and place calls via WhatsApp, in addition to classic phone calls — keeping the same routing and voice AI logic.
In practice:
- Any WhatsApp user can call your number directly from the app and reach your AI assistant (or your switchboard).
- Your teams can initiate calls to WhatsApp numbers, with the same call mechanics as for standard telephony.
- Your existing voice AI scenarios are reused: no need to rebuild an agent specifically for WhatsApp.
You get a consistent voice experience whether the call comes from the phone network or from WhatsApp.
5. One technical foundation, multiple channels
One of the main problems of AI projects today is fragmentation: one stack for voice, another for messaging, a third for WhatsApp. Versatik takes the opposite stance: a single AI agent foundation, capable of working across multiple channels.
You can:
- Use the same prompts, business rules, and integrations (CRM, calendar, ticketing) for telephony, web chat, and WhatsApp.
- Keep a unified view of conversations and performance, instead of monitoring three separate tools.
- Progressively enable new channels, without a full overhaul each time.
This makes it possible to deploy AI assistants at scale — particularly in regions where WhatsApp is the dominant channel — while keeping technical complexity under control.
6. Concrete scenarios
| Use case | WhatsApp channel | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications & follow-up | Messages | Confirmations, shipping, reminders, appointment changes — with customer reply enabled |
| Customer support | Messages → Call | Start in WhatsApp chat, escalate to call in one click without losing context |
| Identity verification | Messages | OTP and secure links via WhatsApp, alternative to SMS |
| 100% AI conversations | Voice + Chat | Qualification, questions, appointment booking, summary sent in message — fully handled by the agent |
These scenarios then translate by vertical (healthcare, services, e-commerce, etc.) depending on your business.
7. How Versatik supports rollout
Deployment follows a progressive approach:
- Audit of your current channels (phone, email, WhatsApp, chat) and identification of priority use cases.
- Design of a single AI agent capable of operating across multiple channels.
- Progressive rollout: first on voice or web, then extension to WhatsApp in messages and calls.
- KPI tracking (automated resolution rate, response time, satisfaction, volume handled) and regular iteration.
8. Conclusion
WhatsApp is no longer an accessory channel: for many customers, it's the natural way to interact with a business. By activating your AI agents on WhatsApp in messages and calls, you offer a consistent experience across all channels — without added complexity for your technical teams.
Key benefits:
- One AI agent, multiple channels (phone, web, WhatsApp).
- Open rates > 90% on WhatsApp messages.
- WhatsApp calls handled by your voicebot, alongside the phone network.
- A unified stack and reused business integrations.
