What's new in Talko AI
New channels, features and fixes, as they ship — in plain language, not commit messages.
Self-serve setup guides
- New
Step-by-step guides for connecting every channel and setting up your AI key and first chatbot flow — no developer needed. Find them under Guides.
- New
Smarter CRM lead source
- Improved
Leads captured from Messenger, Instagram, and website chat now carry the correct channel as their CRM lead source, so your pipeline reports show exactly where each conversation started.
- Improved
YouTube and Google Reviews automation, plus a reorganized portal
- New
YouTube comment automation — auto-reply to comments on your videos, moderate spam, and let AI take over a thread when someone replies back.
- New
Google Business Profile reviews — AI drafts or auto-posts replies to your reviews, warm for great ones, calm and empathetic for the tough ones.
- Improved
The portal's left navigation is reorganized into task-based groups (Channels, Messages, AI & Automation, Grow & Sell) instead of one long list, with a hint on every item.
- Improved
Talko AI is no longer just a Meta-ecosystem tool — WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, YouTube, Google Reviews and website chat all live in the same inbox now.
- New
Comment automation gets a lot more capable
- New
AI review-reply engine goes live — the foundation for Google Business Profile automation.
- New
Reply-only comment automation: post a public reply to a comment without sending a DM, when that's all a comment needs.
- Improved
Comment rules support multiple trigger words and rotating public-reply variants, so responses don't look copy-pasted.
- Improved
Facebook Page comment automation reaches the same feature set as Instagram, including an option to like the comment when a rule fires.
- Improved
After a comment rule replies, AI can take over the rest of that thread automatically instead of going quiet.
- Improved
The owner portal moved to a sidebar-navigation layout, split into clear sections instead of one long scrolling page.
- New
AI campaign builder for ads
- New
Describe a campaign in chat — budget, goal, audience — and the AI builder drafts a ready-to-approve ad campaign, including multiple ad sets for audience testing.
- Improved
The campaign builder now grounds its plans in your real connected ad account data instead of generic assumptions.
- New
Sell inside the conversation
- New
In-chat catalog, cart, and checkout for WhatsApp — customers can browse, add to cart, and pay without leaving the conversation.
- New
Cross-channel cart support for Instagram and Facebook Messenger, driven by AI.
- New
A dedicated order admin view to see, fulfil, cancel, or refund in-chat orders.
- Improved
Paid orders get an automatic WhatsApp confirmation message, and each business's payment webhook is now isolated per tenant.
- New
A more polished, more accessible portal
- Improved
A design pass across the whole portal: refined press feedback, materials, and motion, plus accessibility improvements throughout.
- Improved
Tab switches feel instant now — chunks prefetch on hover and a skeleton loader replaces the old blank-screen flash.
- Fixed
A visual artifact behind the brand logo, and a support-widget icon that could fail to load, are both cleaned up.
- Improved
