All the WhatsApp and Instagram automation features, in one platform
From the first hello to repeat purchases — Talko AI automates the whole conversation across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, YouTube and your website, and keeps your Google reviews answered.
Talko AI automates customer conversations on six channels from one place: WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, YouTube comments, Google Business Profile reviews and a web-chat widget for your own site. Conversation automation means an incoming message is read, understood and answered — or escalated to a person — without someone watching an inbox for it.
It is built for businesses whose message volume has outgrown their team: D2C and retail brands selling in chat, service businesses booking appointments, education and healthcare providers answering the same questions all day, agencies running several client accounts, and creators buried in Instagram DMs. AI replies run on your own provider key, so usage costs stay yours.

Microsoft TeamsQuestions about what Talko AI can do
What is conversation automation?
- Conversation automation is software that reads an incoming message — a WhatsApp enquiry, an Instagram DM, a YouTube comment, a Google review — works out what it means, and then answers it, routes it to a person, or triggers a follow-up. Talko AI does this with AI grounded on your own knowledge base, so replies come from your pricing, policies and catalog rather than a general-purpose model's guesses.
Which channels can Talko AI automate?
- Six: WhatsApp Business, Instagram DMs and comments, Facebook Messenger, YouTube comments, Google Business Profile reviews, and a web-chat widget for your own website. Each one is a channel inside a single platform rather than a separate product, so the same AI, knowledge base, flows, contact records and team permissions apply everywhere.
How is this different from a WhatsApp-only tool?
- Most tools in this category automate one platform. When the same customer asks the same question in an Instagram DM, under a YouTube video and on your website, a WhatsApp-only tool answers one of the three. Talko AI answers all three from one knowledge base and files them against one contact, so you see a single customer instead of three strangers.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
- No. Connecting WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger is a permissions flow you click through with your own Meta account. The website widget is one line of HTML. Flows are drag-and-build. The only genuinely technical step is pasting an AI provider key, and the setup guides cover that screen by screen.
What does 'bring your own AI key' mean for my costs?
- AI replies run on your own Gemini, OpenAI or Anthropic key instead of credits resold by us. You pay your provider directly at their published rates, and your Talko AI subscription covers the platform alone. AI spend stays visible in your provider dashboard, and a busy month raises that bill rather than producing a surprise overage invoice from us.
Should I use AI replies or a chatbot flow?
- Use a flow when the path is fixed and the collected data matters — booking a demo, qualifying a lead, taking an order. Use AI replies when the questions are open-ended and endless — pricing, availability, policies, whether a product fits. Most businesses run both: a flow for the transaction, AI for everything around it.
