Bubble on WhatsApp: manage files with an AI agent
Flann turns Bubble into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in Bubble for you. Bubble speaks a technical language. Flann translates. Ask whether the site is up, why an alert fired or what changed this week, and you get a plain answer drawn straight from Bubble.

Where Flann saves you time in Bubble
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Bubble is connected.
Overnight problems, summarised
Today
Errors build up overnight. Nobody reads the logs until something breaks in front of a customer.
With Flann
“Anything go wrong overnight on our systems?”
Flann reads the overnight errors and incidents in Bubble, groups the repeats and ranks what is left by how much it affects customers. You get the few things worth knowing. Nothing is changed; this is a report.
What you stop doing: No more scrolling through logs you were never meant to read.
Fridge and sensor check-ins
Today
Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into Bubble, but nobody looks unless something has already spoiled.
With Flann
“Are the fridges and freezers all at the right temperature?”
Flann reads the latest readings from Bubble and tells you whether anything sits outside its normal range. A unit that has been drifting is named, with how long it has been drifting.
What you stop doing: Walking round checking displays just to feel sure is no longer needed.
