Where it helpsSri Lankan businesses most.
We work with small and mid-size businesses that live on enquiries. Pick yours.
Hotels, villas and tour operators
Guests message at all hours and in many languages, and every booking made through a booking platform costs commission.
Guest questions wait until morning, so travellers book somewhere that answered first.
An AI assistant on your website and WhatsApp answers in the guest’s language, holds the booking and hands it to your team.
Education institutes
Enquiries spike before every intake, and counsellors spend hours answering the same questions about courses and schedules.
Students who wait for a reply during intake week enrol elsewhere.
AI answers course and schedule questions instantly, registers students online and passes serious enquiries to counsellors. We built the full learning management system for Lockbird Education.
Shops and online stores
Customers ask about stock, delivery and sizes on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp before they buy.
Replies come hours later and many customers never come back.
A WhatsApp AI assistant answers product questions, takes orders and sends delivery updates, backed by video ads that bring buyers.
Clinics and service businesses
Bookings, reminders and follow-ups take up staff time, and missed appointments cost money.
Phones ring during busy hours and messages pile up.
Online booking with AI replies, automatic reminders on WhatsApp and a simple dashboard of every booking.
Exporters and manufacturers
Orders, shipments and documents still live on paper and in spreadsheets.
Managers wait days for reports and documents are typed by hand.
Custom systems and dashboards, with AI that reads documents and prepares reports, built the way we did for Cey Coir Substrates.
Let AI handlethe repetitive work.
Your AI assistant chats with customers, asks the right questions and prepares the details before your team even opens the laptop. A person approves anything important.
- Replies to enquiries in seconds, day and night
- Prepares quotes, bookings and follow-ups
- Hands over to your team with the full history
