Bring grounded restaurant support to WhatsApp conversations

What is restaurants ai agents automation?

Teams often combine reminder broadcasts with an AI agent that handles replies and new questions inside WhatsApp. Ground answers with /products/voice-agents knowledge while deploying on the WhatsApp channel.
