General support

A starter WhatsApp assistant for any small business

The default Replai template — answers FAQ, captures leads, hands off when something's tricky. Customise as you go.

When to use this template

If you don't see a template that exactly matches your business — you're not running contests, you're not a tuition centre, you're not selling products online — start here. The general-support template covers the universal shape of small-business inbound:

  • Customers asking what you do, where you are, when you're open
  • People asking about prices or services before deciding
  • Booking-style enquiries that need a human to confirm
  • General FAQ that gets asked weekly

It's a clean baseline you can adapt over a couple of days, as you see what your customers actually ask.

What it does on day one

  • Answers from your business knowledge. Paste your FAQ page, a Google Doc with your services + prices, or your existing website's About text. Replai reads it and answers grounded in your content.
  • Polite when it doesn't know. "Let me check with the team and get back to you on that" rather than guessing.
  • Captures leads to Sheets. If you point it at a Google Sheet, qualifying enquiries (name + intent + contact details) get logged so you follow up.
  • Hands off gracefully. The operator dashboard shows every conversation. Take over manually any time; the bot pauses for that thread until you resume.

What changes as you learn

After a week of inbound, you'll see what your customers actually ask. Common patterns:

  • A specific product or service that comes up so often it deserves its own KB section
  • A booking flow that should ask for date + party size + contact upfront
  • A common complaint pattern that should escalate to you immediately

The system prompt is one settings page away — refine as you learn. Or, if a vertical-specific template emerges as a better fit, switch the bot to that template and your KB carries over.
