We build the reply that arrives first. AI chatbots for WhatsApp, your website and any channel, from H@rts in Douala.

Scattered

Three businesses got that message.

The one who answers first usually wins.

Always on

At 3am. On a Sunday. In French.

The reply still goes out.

Live data

It checks the real stock before it speaks.

Your database, your calendar, your prices. Live, not guessed.

One engine

One engine. Every channel.

WhatsApp, your website, wherever they find you.

We build the reply that arrives first.

Your customers message three businesses at once. We build the chatbot that answers yours in seconds, checks your live data, and passes your team only the conversations that need a person.

01 · The gap

Every hour of silence is a decision made without you.

This is not a technology problem. It is a timing problem, and it is costing you deals you never hear about.

  1. > 1 hour

    A customer who waits an hour has usually already bought somewhere else.

  2. After 18:00

    Messages that land in the evening sit until Monday morning.

  3. Shared inbox

    When everyone can answer, everyone assumes someone else did.

You can double the ad budget and still grow slowly, because half the enquiries go cold in the chat.

02 · The engine

One engine. Wired into every channel you already use.

WhatsApp is where we started. The same engine runs as a website widget or on any other channel, and it plugs into the systems your business already runs on.

Answer
Instant answers to the questions you get fifty times a week, in English or French, without anyone typing them again.
Look up
Real stock, real prices, real availability, read live from your database, CRM, ERP or POS.
Follow up
Reminders, notifications and nudges that keep a conversation moving instead of letting it die.
Hand over
The moment a conversation needs a person, it goes to a person. With everything already said attached.

03 · The handover

The part most chatbots get wrong.

Three quarters of people say a bot cannot handle their real question. They are usually right, and the reason is almost never the bot. It is what happens next. The conversation gets thrown to a human with none of the context, and the customer has to start again from the beginning.

We build the handover first and the answers second. Your team opens a conversation already knowing who it is, what they asked, what the bot checked, and what it could not settle. The customer repeats nothing.

A bot that knows when to stop is worth more than a bot that never stops.
Live conversation

09:41Do you still have the black one in 42?

09:41Yes, two left in Akwa. Want me to hold one for you?

09:42Can I pay in instalments?

Bot stops. Passes to a person, with the whole conversation attached.

09:42Hi, this is Marie. I can see you want the black 42 held. Yes, we do instalments.

04 · Try it

Answer this one by hand.

Press and hold the button. Do not let go until the reply sends.

03:14Bonjour, vous avez encore le modèle noir en 42 ?

03:19Allo ?

04:02Ok merci quand même.

You held for 0.0 seconds. Your customer waited nine hours. The engine replies in about one.

05 · Underneath

We were engineers before we were an automation shop.

Most agencies stop at a script. When a bot needs a database that does not exist yet, or an integration into the system running your stock, that is our own work rather than someone we have to call.

  • 01

    Custom software

    Web systems, internal tools and the workflows a chatbot has to sit on top of.

  • 02

    Cloud and databases

    The data layer that makes a live answer possible, designed to hold up on your busiest day.

  • 03

    Managed IT

    Infrastructure, monitoring and support, so the thing that is now answering your customers stays up.

  • 04

    Integration

    CRM, ERP, POS or a spreadsheet you have not replaced yet. We meet the system you actually have.

06 · In production

What changes, measured.

Every case study we publish answers the same four questions: who, what hurt, what we built, what changed. The card below shows that format. Real client work replaces it as clients approve publication.

07 · Pricing

Two decisions, not a pricing matrix.

First we build it. Then you decide whether we look after it. Most clients take both, and the second one can start at launch.

01 · Build

Chatbot build

WhatsApp, website widget or both, integrated into the systems you already run. Scoped and quoted per project and delivered in milestones you approve and pay against, so cost and progress stay predictable from kickoff to launch. What moves the number is how many channels it covers, what live data it has to read, and whether that data exists yet.

08 · H@rts Academy

We also teach this.

A free bilingual training portal for people learning to use AI in their own work, and paid upskilling for teams who would rather run the thing themselves than call us every time.

09 · Questions

The four things people ask before they buy.

Can it handle a real question, or does it just deflect?

It handles what it can genuinely answer and hands over the rest. We tune it against your real message history, so it learns your actual questions rather than a generic script. Anything it cannot settle goes to your team with the full conversation attached.

What happens when it gets stuck?

A person takes over, and the customer repeats nothing. We build that path first, before we build a single answer, because it is where most chatbots fail.

How do I know I need a chatbot and not something else?

Sometimes you do not. We scope before we sell, and if what you actually need is the database underneath or a fix to the workflow, we will tell you and quote that instead.

What does it cost, honestly?

Builds start at $300 and are quoted per project against milestones you approve. Care is $125 a month and optional. You will have the number before any work starts.

10 · Who we are
