Connect Speechmatics to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Speechmatics once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Posters, menus, product photos, short videos, the words on your website. All of it sits in Speechmatics or gets made there.
7 actions in Speechmatics. 5 only look things up, and 2 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in Speechmatics
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right Speechmatics action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Look up the usage in Speechmatics.”
“Look up the transcript in Speechmatics.”

Repetitive Speechmatics 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.
Keeping the menu design current
Today
When a dish changes, the printed menu and the screen behind the till are both out of date. Editing the design in Speechmatics usually waits until someone asks for the soup that is no longer there.
With Flann
“Remove the soup of the day from the lunch menu in Speechmatics and add the halloumi wrap.”
The menu design in Speechmatics is edited with the spacing kept even and a short description written for the wrap in the style of the rest. A preview of the whole menu comes back so you can read it as a customer would.
What you stop doing: Waiting for a customer to point out an old menu is over.
Cleaning up product photos
Today
New stock arrives and every product needs a clean photo for the online shop. Cutting out backgrounds one by one in Speechmatics swallows an evening.
With Flann
“Here are today’s photos of the new candles. Clean white backgrounds in Speechmatics, please.”
Every photo goes through Speechmatics, losing its background and gaining a centred product sized to match the rest of your shop. You see them side by side with the originals.
What you stop doing: Cutting out backgrounds by hand, photo after photo, is finished.
