A WhatsApp AI agent for bakeries answers the message a customer sends while planning a birthday: “How much for a chocolate cake for 20, and can I pick it up Saturday?” The agent quotes the custom cake from the bakery's own price list, answers menu and allergen questions, and schedules the pickup — while design approvals and rush orders go straight to the baker.
What customers ask, answered in chat
- Custom-cake quotes: size, flavour, filling, and servings priced from the bakery's own price list — not a guess.
- Menu and allergen FAQs: daily items, ingredients, and allergen notes — answered from the bakery's own menu documents.
- Pickup scheduling: the customer picks a day and a time window, and the order lands in the bakery's system with the details attached.
- Lead-time answers: how far ahead a custom cake must be ordered, per size and design, from the bakery's own policy.
The inbox that never sleeps
Bakery customers message when the occasion is on their mind — often in the evening, days before the event — and they message several bakeries at once. The first clear quote wins the order. But the bakers are baking, not watching chat, so replies arrive late and the customer orders elsewhere. The agent answers instantly from the bakery's own menu and price list, and the team spends the day baking instead of chasing enquiries.
An illustrative customer conversation
The following exchange is illustrative — an example of the shape of a conversation, not a real customer chat. Customer: “How much for a chocolate cake for 20 people, pickup Saturday?” Agent: “A 10-inch chocolate cake serves 20 and is priced on our menu — pickup Saturday between 9am and 12pm is open. Shall I reserve it?” Customer: “Yes, with ‘Happy Birthday Sara’ on top.” Agent: “Reserved — the baker will confirm the design wording before baking.” One chat, one cake order placed.
What to teach the agent before launch
- Custom-cake price list per size, flavour, and filling, in the bakery's own wording.
- Daily menu and allergen notes, updated as the menu changes.
- Pickup windows, lead times, and cancellation policy in the bakery's own wording.
- The handoff list: design approvals, rush orders, and any unhappy customer go to the baker.
