Connect Grafbase to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann turns Grafbase into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in Grafbase for you. 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 Grafbase yourself, understand what they are telling you and pass them the right details when something needs attention.

Where Flann saves you time in Grafbase
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Grafbase is connected.
Passing a fault to the right person
Today
When something breaks, you forward a screenshot to your developer with a vague description. They then ask the questions you could not answer.
With Flann
“Send Dan the details of this error so he can look at it.”
Flann gathers what Dan will need from Grafbase: when the error started, how often it happens and which part of the system is affected. It drafts a clear message to him with those facts.
What you stop doing: Your role as messenger between customers and developer comes to an end.
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 Grafbase: 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.
