Connect Storyblok to WhatsApp: page items by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Storyblok once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Devices, logins, servers and the small apps your team built all leave a trail in Storyblok. Flann can read that trail for you. Ask by text or voice note and the answer comes in sentences, not error codes.

Repetitive Storyblok 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.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open Storyblok, 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 Storyblok 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.
What changed this week
Today
Your developer ships changes regularly. You find out what changed when a customer mentions that a button has moved.
With Flann
“What did the team change on the app this week?”
Flann reads the recent changes recorded in Storyblok and turns them into a short list in everyday language, pointing out anything customers will notice. This is read-only.
What you stop doing: You are no longer the last to know what changed in your own product.
