Chatfuel is an AI-powered platform that lets your business talk to customers automatically — on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and your website — 24/7, without you having to type every reply.
The Three-Step Loop
1. Connect a channel
You start by linking a messaging channel to Chatfuel. The most common choice is WhatsApp. You can also connect Instagram, a Facebook Page, TikTok, or add a chat widget to your website.
2. Teach the AI about your business
Chatfuel's AI assistant is called Fuely AI. Before it can help your customers, you give it three things:
- About Company — your name, hours, contact info, and location.
- Catalog — the services or products you offer, with prices.
- FAQ — answers to the questions customers ask most often.
This is your Knowledge Base. The AI reads it and uses it to answer questions in every conversation.
3. The AI handles conversations
Once connected and trained, Fuely AI replies to every incoming message automatically. It answers questions, qualifies leads, books appointments via the calendar, and sends follow-ups when customers go quiet. No buttons or menus — customers just write naturally.
When a conversation needs a human touch, Fuely hands it off to your team based on rules you set.
What You Manage
You don't write scripts or build flows. Your job is to keep the Knowledge Base accurate and review conversations. The Leads board shows every contact moving through your pipeline, and your teammates can jump in from the same dashboard.
