**AI-powered support on WhatsApp** works by turning every incoming message into a ticket inside a **Service Desk**, with an **AI Agent** answering the most common requests. In **Jestor**, this happens via the **WhatsApp Business API (Meta)**, with tracking of the time spent at each stage of support.

## Why does WhatsApp support tend to lose control?

Without a system behind it, **WhatsApp** support turns into an endless list of conversations with no status, no priority, and no indicator of how long each request has been sitting.

## What support teams are trying to solve?

- Support conversations with no defined status or priority
- No response-time indicator per conversation
- Repetitive questions that eat up the human team's time
- Difficulty knowing how many requests are still open

## How AI-powered support is structured on WhatsApp?

Every message generates a card in the **Service Desk**, with status and a visual indicator of who replied last.

| Element        | Function                     | Indicator                          |
| -------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Automatic card | One request per conversation | Status: new, in progress, closed   |
| AI agent       | Answers common questions     | Monitored in real time by the team |
| SLA            | Tracks time at each stage    | Alert when the deadline is close   |

## Why choose Jestor?

- Every new message automatically creates a card in the process linked to the number
- SLA tracks the time spent at each stage of the conversation
- Visual indicators show whether the team or the customer replied last
