Connect AssemblyAI to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect AssemblyAI once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Recording is easy. Turning a recording into something useful is the slow part. Once AssemblyAI is connected, Flann can transcribe an interview, caption a short video or pull the quotable lines from a class, then hand the result back on WhatsApp before anything is published.

Repetitive AssemblyAI 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.
Resizing one design for every place
Today
A poster for the window also needs a square version, a story version and a print-ready file. Each resize means nudging text boxes until nothing is cut off.
With Flann
“Take the autumn open day poster in AssemblyAI and make story, square and printable versions.”
Each format is built from the original in AssemblyAI, with the text and logo repositioned so nothing is clipped at the edges. You get all three back as previews in one message.
What you stop doing: Nudging text boxes around for each new size is not your job any more.
Cleaning up product photos
Today
New stock arrives and every product needs a clean photo for the online shop. Cutting out backgrounds one by one in AssemblyAI swallows an evening.
With Flann
“Here are today’s photos of the new candles. Clean white backgrounds in AssemblyAI, please.”
Every photo goes through AssemblyAI, losing its background and gaining a centred product sized to match the rest of your shop. You see them side by side with the originals.
What you stop doing: Cutting out backgrounds by hand, photo after photo, is finished.
