The AI agent that qualifies leads, books demos & closes deals on WhatsApp
A solid shared team inbox tool - but built for customer support, not automated sales
Great if you have a huge support team. Falls short when you want AI to sell for you on autopilot.

WATI is great for managing support tickets. Oravio acts as your best sales rep.
Real AI, no rigid flows
Customers hate getting stuck in "Press 1 for Sales" loops. Oravio's Claude-powered AI talks naturally and understands complex queries without any flowcharts.
Auto lead qualification
When a prospect asks about pricing, Oravio automatically tags them with [LEAD] and adds them to your sales pipeline. WATI leaves this to your agents.
Smart Escalations
If a customer is angry or asks a complex question, Oravio instantly uses the [ESCALATE] tag to pause the bot and alert a human agent.
Flowcharts vs. True AI
WATI makes you build massive flowcharts. The second a customer asks something off-script, the bot breaks down and the lead goes cold.
That's exactly why we built Oravio. Just upload your FAQs and price lists — Oravio reads, understands, and sells like a real human rep, 24/7.
Common questions about migrating from WATI
Can I migrate my WATI phone number to Oravio?
Yes, you can easily port your existing WhatsApp Business API number from WATI to Oravio with zero downtime. Your contacts and chat history will remain intact.
Do I need to rebuild all my WATI keyword flows?
No! Because Oravio uses generative AI, you don't need to rebuild rigid keyword rules. You just paste your business description and FAQs, and the AI figures out how to answer dynamically.
How does pricing compare between Oravio and WATI?
WATI charges a base fee plus per-user costs, which gets expensive quickly if your team grows. Oravio offers flat-rate pricing focused on conversation volume, not punishing you for adding more team members.
Is Oravio better for sales or support?
While WATI is built primarily for ticketing and support teams, Oravio is purpose-built for sales. It automatically tags leads, extracts phone numbers, and routes hot prospects to your CRM while handling the tire-kickers automatically.
Does Oravio support WhatsApp broadcast campaigns like WATI?
Absolutely. Oravio includes a full broadcast suite allowing you to send promotional messages, newsletters, and personalized offers to thousands of contacts at once, fully compliant with Meta's API rules.
What happens if the AI doesn't know the answer?
Oravio is smart enough to know when it's stuck. If a customer asks something incredibly specific that isn't in your training data, it automatically pauses the AI and alerts a human agent to take over, right inside the shared inbox.
