Connect People Data Labs to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect People Data Labs once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Some of what you need to know sits outside your business: a competitor’s menu, a supplier’s catalogue, the public listings in your area. Through People Data Labs, Flann can gather that web data on request and lay it out next to your own figures, so a decision about pricing or stock rests on more than a hunch.
26 actions in People Data Labs. All of them only look things up, so nothing in People Data Labs is ever changed. You connect with your API key.

Repetitive People Data Labs 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.
Checking today against a normal day
Today
Midway through a quiet afternoon you wonder whether it is just today or the whole week. Opening People Data Labs on your phone to check means pinching and zooming through charts.
With Flann
“Is today slower than a normal Tuesday? Check People Data Labs.”
Today so far in People Data Labs is set against the same day over recent weeks, and you get one line on whether you are behind, level or ahead. If you are behind, Flann says where.
What you stop doing: Pinching and zooming through charts on a small screen stops.
Keeping an eye on competitors
Today
Checking what nearby competitors charge means visiting several websites and writing it all down. So it happens once a year, if that.
With Flann
“Use People Data Labs to check what the gyms near us charge for a monthly membership.”
Using People Data Labs, Flann gathers the published membership prices from those gyms’ websites and lays them out next to yours in one short table. It notes the date it checked, since prices change. Nothing on your side changes, and nothing is sent anywhere.
What you stop doing: Visiting competitor websites one by one with a notepad is a thing of the past.
