SmartChat AI is live: an AI front desk that answers your SMS, Messenger, Instagram, and live chat
SmartChat AI launched publicly this week. It gives Philippine businesses a 24/7 AI front desk that replies to leads on the channels they already use, starting at ₱1,599/mo.
SmartChat AI is now publicly available. It is an AI front desk for Philippine businesses that answers leads the moment they message you, on SMS, Messenger, Instagram, and live chat, 24 hours a day.
We built it around a simple observation. Philippine customers still close on SMS. They ask “how much,” “open ba kayo,” “available ba this Saturday,” and they expect an answer in minutes, not the next morning. Most small businesses lose those leads because nobody is watching the inbox at 10pm. SmartChat watches it for you.
How it works
You point SmartChat at your channels. SMS runs through an Android relay phone with your own SIM card, so customers see your real business number, not a shared shortcode. Messenger, Instagram, and live chat connect directly.
When a message arrives, the AI reads it, pulls from your business knowledge base (your services, prices, schedule, FAQs), and replies in your tone. It can qualify the lead, answer common questions, and book appointments. Conversations that need a human get flagged and handed to you.
What it costs
Two plans:
- SMS + AI — ₱2,699/mo equivalent, billed annually at the pioneer rate (regularly ₱5,199/mo). Everything above plus the AI that replies for you.
- SMS Only — ₱1,599/mo equivalent (regularly ₱2,999/mo). Two-way SMS through your own SIM, you do the replying.
Both plans support up to 2,000 SMS per day per relay phone, subject to fair use and your SIM plan. The Android relay phone and the postpaid SIM are your own expenses.
Who it is for
Clinics, salons, spas, real estate agents, car dealers, repair shops, schools, and any Philippine business that takes bookings or inquiries over text and social. If your phone rings more than your staff can answer, that is the problem SmartChat exists to fix.
