Connect You.com to WhatsApp with an AI agent
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect You.com once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. AI output is useful and fallible. Flann treats it that way.
8 actions in You.com. 7 only look things up, and 1 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in You.com
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right You.com action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Find images in You.com.”
“Look up the research task in You.com.”
“Look up the account balance in You.com.”
“Create a research in You.com.”

Repetitive You.com 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.
Translate a customer message properly
Today
A message arrives in a language you do not read. Copying it into a translator, writing a reply and translating it back takes several steps and some guesswork.
With Flann
“Translate this and help me reply politely in Portuguese.”
Flann uses You.com to translate the message and tells you in plain English what the customer wants. Your reply is drafted in their language, with an English version alongside so you know exactly what you are saying.
What you stop doing: Pasting messages between windows to understand a customer is over.
Handing a task to an agent
Today
Some jobs have several stages: pull the data, process it, write it up. Running them by hand means checking in at every step.
With Flann
“Have You.com prepare the weekly stock report and tell me when it’s ready.”
Flann starts the task in You.com, follows its progress and checks the output when it finishes. A short summary lands in WhatsApp, with anything that looks off flagged.
What you stop doing: Babysitting a tool meant to save you effort is no longer necessary.
