The Founding Story of Automate AI
Automate AI was born from a simple yet powerful idea: helping businesses unlock the full potential of WhatsApp. The founders, driven by a vision to revolutionize customer engagement, identified a significant gap in the market. Traditional tools lacked scalability, personalization, and the ability to integrate with modern business workflows.
In 2025, Automate AI launched its solution—a blend of automation, AI-driven chatbots, and seamless integration capabilities that would empower businesses to create personalized, scalable, and results-driven WhatsApp campaigns.

I was intimidated by chatbot building at first, but this platform made it so easy! The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly intuitive, and I had my first bot up and running in under 10 minutes. Highly recommend!
