Ako for WhatsApp

Your AI employee,

a text away.

Ako joins WhatsApp as a teammate you can message anytime. Text it a task, and it does the work on its own cloud workspace, then replies with files, summaries, and updates right in the chat.

Ako's responses are AI-generated and may sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete. Review its outputs before acting on them or sharing them outside your team.

What it looks like on WhatsApp

Three ways teams put Ako to work, straight from the WhatsApp chat they already have open.

Direct chat

Ako

You

Pull last week's signups from HubSpot and text me the daily totals when you're done.

Ako

On it. I'll grab signups from Nov 24 to Dec 1 and reply with totals plus a breakdown by source.

Forwarded message

Ako

You

Forwarding a support ticket from Intercom. Can you summarise it and draft a reply I can send back?

Ako

Summary: customer was double-charged on their Nov renewal and wants a refund. Draft reply below, ready to send 👇

Voice note

Ako

You

🎤 Voice message: "Hey, build the weekly sales deck from Shopify and send it over."

Ako

Done. Sending weekly-sales-2026-W23.pptx now. Revenue is up 12% WoW, slide 4 has the breakdown.

How it works

Text Ako

Message Ako directly and describe the task in plain English, or send a voice note. No templates, no commands to memorise.

Ako does the work

Ako runs on its own cloud workspace. It pulls data from your connected tools, writes code, browses the web, and generates files, without leaving the conversation on WhatsApp.

Replies in the chat

Ako replies in the chat: summaries, files, charts, or follow-up questions. You review the output, ask for changes, or hand it off to a teammate, all without leaving WhatsApp.

What teams use Ako for on WhatsApp

Teams start by handing Ako a task and end up giving it a standing role. It works on its own, keeps you posted on WhatsApp, and checks in when it needs a decision. A few of the jobs teams give it:

Text Ako and get it done

Message Ako from your phone: pull a number, check an order, get a report as a file. The quickest way to put it to work, no laptop.

Send updates from the field

Forward a message, voice note, or photo from a site or factory and Ako structures it into your live dashboard, then flags anything off. No re-keying.

Get proactive reports and alerts

Ako sends the morning report and messages you the instant something slips, straight to your chat.

Give Ako a standing role

Make Ako your daily standup runner: it checks in with each person on WhatsApp for their update, pulls the blockers together, and messages you the ones that need a decision.

Getting access

Ako is currently early access. We onboard teams individually so each one starts off with Ako set up correctly for how they work. The full path from waitlist to working on WhatsApp:

From Ako's settings, connect WhatsApp and link the number your team will message. Standard WhatsApp Business setup, with you approving access.

About Ako's AI responses

Ako is powered by large language models, and like all AI, it can sometimes get things wrong. Here's how we ask teams to work with it.

Review before acting

AI-generated responses may sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete. Treat Ako's output as a starting point. Review reports, drafts, and data summaries before sharing them or making decisions based on them.

You stay in control

Ako only acts on requests from people on your team. You can review what it's done at any time, ask for changes, or correct course mid-task.

Your data, your rules

WhatsApp messages Ako reads stay within your team's isolated workspace and are never used to train AI models. Disconnect the integration any time to revoke access.
