The short answer
Customers already message businesses on apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and Telegram. An AI assistant can answer there with the same catalog knowledge as your website.
What Anchor does about it
Anchor supports a website widget plus Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and email connectors. Each works once you connect your own provider account, and every message lands in the same Conversations inbox.
Limits to know
- Each provider has its own approval requirements. For example, WhatsApp needs a verified business account and Meta business verification. Anchor does not bypass them.
Common questions
- Do I need my own accounts?
- Yes. You connect your own provider account for each channel.
- Does Anchor post to social media?
- No. Anchor answers customer messages; it does not schedule or publish social posts.
