Connect Botdog to WhatsApp: campaigns and leads by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Botdog once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Owners rarely open Botdog as often as they should. That is not a discipline problem. It is friction, and Flann removes it by letting you work your contacts and deals from the one app you never close.
