Key Pain Points

Platform dependency -- heavy reliance on WhatsApp APIs and template message policies creates regulatory and fee risk if WhatsApp changes rules or pricing.
Privacy & compliance -- message data capture and AI responses must comply with local data protection laws; missteps can cause fines or blocked accounts.
Low switching costs -- competitors and agencies can replicate conversational templates quickly, so differentiation must come from data and integrations.
