Connect The Companies API to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect The Companies API once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Analytics tools answer questions well, provided you know where to click. Flann does the clicking. You ask in plain words on WhatsApp, it queries The Companies API and replies with the figure and a sentence on what it means.
10 actions in The Companies API. 7 only look things up, and 3 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in The Companies API
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right The Companies API action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Show me my lists in The Companies API.”
“Look up the account context in The Companies API.”
“Find a taxonomy in The Companies API.”

Repetitive The Companies API 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.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into The Companies API, set the date range, compare it with the week before and try to remember what normal looks like. By the time the picture is clear, the week has started without you.
With Flann
“How are we doing? Last week against the week before, from The Companies API.”
Flann pulls the main figures from The Companies API, sets them against the previous week and sends a report card in the chat with the few changes worth your attention. Ask a follow-up and it digs into the detail.
What you stop doing: Setting date ranges and comparing columns by eye every Monday is finished.
Looking up a record mid-conversation
Today
A customer on the phone asks when their membership renews or what they ordered last time. Finding the record in The Companies API means a laptop, a login and a search screen.
With Flann
“When does Priya Shah’s membership renew? Check The Companies API.”
Within the chat, Flann searches The Companies API for the record and replies with the renewal date, plan and last visit. If two records match, it asks which one you mean. Looking up changes nothing, so it happens straight away.
What you stop doing: Opening a laptop to answer a simple customer question is unnecessary now.
