Why a week is enough
A good agent knows your business, answers on the channel your customers already use, and learns from what they really ask. With Claude or ChatGPT doing the typing, getting there takes days, not weeks.
The AI does the buildingIt reads your website and turns your answers into FAQ entries, catalog items and rules. You read and approve.
Real chats do the testingFor three days the agent listens without answering. You see what customers really ask before it replies to anyone.
The week, part by part
Each part is its own page. Work through them in order.
1Day 1: Build it with Claude or ChatGPT
It reads your website, takes your voice from one real reply, fills the FAQ and rules, and you test it yourself.
Day 12Days 2–4: Connect WhatsApp and watchConnect WhatsApp with the agent muted. Let real chats come in, have the AI read them, and fix what the agent would miss.
Days 2–43Day 5: Go live and keep it sharpSwitch auto-reply on, add a follow-up for quiet customers, and set a short weekly review.
Day 5Before you start
- Claude or ChatGPT, connected to AssistantLabs. Connect Claude or connect ChatGPT. A few minutes, once.
- Your website address. No website? Your own answers are enough.
- The WhatsApp Business app on the number your customers already message. You’ll need it on day 2. What you need for WhatsApp.
Connected? Check that it can see your agent:
Say this to Claude or ChatGPT
Which AssistantLabs agents can you see, and what does mine know so far?
Rather stay inside the app? Every step also has an “In the app” path, and Logos, the builder chat in the app, can do the day-one work too.
