Connect Affinda to WhatsApp: documents and tags by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Affinda once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Affinda works best with good instructions and good context. Flann supplies both. It knows your business from the apps you have connected, so the request it sends to Affinda is specific and the results need less fixing.
105 actions in Affinda. 47 only look things up, and 58 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Repetitive Affinda work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Product descriptions in your tone
Today
New stock needs descriptions, and writing them one by one is slow. Generic AI copy sounds nothing like you.
With Flann
“Write descriptions for the new candles using Affinda, in our usual style.”
Each draft is checked for missing details before you see it.
What you stop doing: You no longer write each description from a blank page.
Handing a task to an agent
Today
Some jobs have several stages: pull the data, process it, write it up. Running them by hand means checking in at every step.
With Flann
“Have Affinda prepare the weekly stock report and tell me when it’s ready.”
Flann starts the task in Affinda, follows its progress and checks the output when it finishes. A short summary lands in WhatsApp, with anything that looks off flagged.
What you stop doing: Babysitting a tool meant to save you effort is no longer necessary.
