TimelinesAI on WhatsApp: manage files with an AI agent
Flann turns TimelinesAI into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in TimelinesAI for you. On the WhatsApp Business number you already use, Flann reads incoming messages and drafts replies in your tone. TimelinesAI adds the rest of the picture: past tickets, earlier chats, notes your team left. Put together, they mean each draft starts from the full history with that customer rather than from scratch, which is how replies end up sounding like you and not like a template.
13 actions in TimelinesAI. 7 only look things up, and 6 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Answering the question everyone asks
Today
Delivery times, opening times, how to book. You type the same answer into TimelinesAI again and again, a little differently each time.

“Draft replies to all the delivery-time questions waiting in the inbox”
Every open conversation in TimelinesAI asking about delivery times gets a drafted answer, built from how you have replied before and written in the customer's language.
What you stop doing: Typing the same answer again and again is no longer how your day goes.
Catching up on team chat
Today
Step away for a morning and the team channel in TimelinesAI has moved on. Scrolling back to find what concerns you takes far longer than it should.

Scanning the channels in TimelinesAI since you last looked, Flann pulls out the questions aimed at you, the decisions waiting on you and anything marked urgent. You get the short version.
What you stop doing: Scrolling back through a busy channel to find your name stops being necessary.
