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 or build a decision-tree chatbot, WATI does that well. We built AskWhiz for a different user: the field technician on a roof at 2am who needs to know what Daikin error U4 means before the next service call. Honest tradeoff — WATI is a generalist platform you configure; AskWhiz is a specialist assistant trained on manufacturer documentation. WATI gives you tools to build flows. AskWhiz gives you answers. Different products, different buyers. If you're picking a marketing chatbot, use WATI. If you're picking technical knowledge for HVAC + refrigeration + commercial kitchen techs, that's why AskWhiz exists. — Octavian
