Connect SNCF to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann connects SNCF to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right SNCF action. Your website, booking system or app depends on tools you never open yourself. Your developer does. Connect SNCF to Flann and you can ask how things are running in plain words, on WhatsApp, without waiting for someone to translate a dashboard for you.
9 actions in SNCF. All of them only look things up, so nothing in SNCF is ever changed. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in SNCF
Type it or say it in a voice note. Flann works out which SNCF action you mean.

The SNCF jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open SNCF, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.
With Flann
“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”
Flann checks the status in SNCF and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.
What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.
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 SNCF, 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.
