Timi vs Meta Business AI

Meta's built-in AI is generic. Timi runs on your catalog, your rules, and hands serious buyers back to you.

Meta offers AI inside WhatsApp Business, but it trains on broad catalog data — not your prices, delivery zones, or handoff rules.

Without Timi

AI quotes products you do not sell or wrong delivery areas.

Timi answers only from your pasted catalog and FAQs.

Without Timi

Hard to control when a human should take over.

Timi hands off on purchase intent. Pause any chat from Feed.

Without Timi

Limited focus on Kenyan buyer language.

English, Swahili, and Sheng tuned for how Kenyans actually write.

Your shop, not the whole internet

Timi uses your product list and business context — not random web data.

Ad conversion tracking built in

Connect Meta Ads in Settings. Timi sends QualifiedLead, InitiateCheckout, and Purchase from Click-to-WhatsApp chats — and shows ROAS on the Ads dashboard.

Automation with an off switch

Per-chat pause, business hours, and block list — you stay in charge.
