Connect BigDataCloud to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect BigDataCloud once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Small businesses often rely on one developer or an IT contractor who is busy elsewhere. Flann does not replace them. It gives you a way to check BigDataCloud yourself, understand what they are telling you and pass them the right details when something needs attention.
17 actions in BigDataCloud. All of them only look things up, so nothing in BigDataCloud is ever changed. You connect with your API key.
Repetitive BigDataCloud 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.
Security warnings explained
Today
Late at night, a suspicious sign-in report lands in your inbox. Without context you cannot tell a real threat from a member of staff on holiday.
With Flann
“Got a suspicious sign-in warning. Is it real?”
Flann checks the sign-in details in BigDataCloud: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
What changed this week
Today
Your developer ships changes regularly. You find out what changed when a customer mentions that a button has moved.
With Flann
“What did the team change on the app this week?”
Flann reads the recent changes recorded in BigDataCloud and turns them into a short list in everyday language, pointing out anything customers will notice. This is read-only.
What you stop doing: You are no longer the last to know what changed in your own product.
