WATI is a WhatsApp Business API platform built for marketing teams and customer support flows — broadcasts, no-code chatbot trees, agent inboxes. If you want to send promotional WhatsApp campaigns, WATI does that well. We built AskWhiz for a different job: keeping commercial kitchens, refrigeration, and HVAC equipment running. A cook scans the QR sticker on a broken fryer, WhatsApp opens, a ticket reaches the service company, and the technician on site gets answers grounded in that exact machine's service manual — then the manager signs on the spot. Honest tradeoff: WATI gives you tools to build conversation flows. AskWhiz runs the whole service job, and the AI lives inside the ticket. If you're picking a marketing chatbot, use WATI. If you need equipment fixed and documented, that's why AskWhiz exists. — Octavian
