SmartChat AI and your data.

If your team has replied to a message, the AI stays quiet.

You turn AI replies on and off in the settings. Once someone on your team has replied to a message, SmartChat AI doesn't add anything.

Every automatic reply is checked first.

Before SmartChat AI replies to a contact, SmartChat checks the reply in several steps. If a check fails, nothing goes out.

  1. Source required

    The reply has to come from your knowledge. Without a matching source, SmartChat AI sends nothing.

    From your knowledge
  2. Details checked

    Every detail in the reply has to be in your knowledge or come from the contact.

    Details checked
  3. Second check

    An independent check reads the reply once more before it goes out.

    Second check
  4. Otherwise to your team

    If the reply isn't safe, SmartChat AI hands the conversation over to you.

    To your team

On sensitive topics, your team replies.

When it comes to price negotiations, complaints, cancellations, legal questions or health, SmartChat AI doesn't send an automatic reply. You get a notification and reply yourself.

Inbox in SmartChat with notifications: SmartChat AI needs you, for example for a price request for a wedding, a complaint and a request for a personal conversation
  • SmartChat AI needs you

    Under the bell you see which contact is waiting and what they wrote.

  • Asking for a person

    If a contact asks for a person, SmartChat AI hands over to you right away.

  • Emergencies

    If a message points to an emergency, nothing automatic goes out, and the notification is marked as urgent.

In the AI chat, nothing happens without your yes.

Before SmartChat AI sends or schedules a newsletter, it tells you the recipients and the time. Nothing happens until you confirm.

AI chat in SmartChat: 1,248 recipients have agreed. Should I send them the Probierpaket newsletter on Thursday at 9:00 am? Buttons Yes, schedule it and Not yet
  • Before every send

    You see how many subscribers have agreed and when the newsletter goes out.

  • Also before deleting

    Before submitting a template to Meta or deleting an automation, SmartChat AI asks first.

  • Tags only on request

    SmartChat AI only adds tags if you specifically ask for it or in an automation you built.

SmartChat AI stops banned topics before it builds anything.

Anyone who promotes things like gambling, weapons or e-cigarettes on WhatsApp risks their number with Meta. That's why SmartChat AI stops and tells you why. A restaurant with a wine list works completely as usual.
