Gupshup, a smart messaging platform, headquartered in Silicon Valley, has unveiled an AI-driven customer service platform for SMEs (Small and medium enterprises) on WhatsApp.
The newly launched platform will help the SME firms to customize messages and respond to individual customers using the WhatsApp dashboard.
Ravi Sundararajan, chief operating officer at Gupshup, said that WhatsApp Self-Service will make it easier for small and medium enterprises to use the social media platform for customer communication.

It has been providing SMS, email, Voice, USSD and IP messaging and chatbot development services to leading BFSI, Retail, e-commerce companies.
Also, the platform already provides WhatsApp enterprise customers access to programable messaging APIs and managed services to enable them to connect with customers over WhatsApp Business
“After having worked with large enterprises, we wanted to make it easy for SMEs to use the platform. While the platform will be launched globally, India is a focus market given the large number of small and medium enterprises here,” Sundararajan added.
He further said that SMEs can use the platform for a range of tasks, including creating a simple bot to respond to frequent questions and an auto template management feature.
