01The problem

Your lab runs on WhatsApp. Your LIMS doesn't.

Front-desk teams spend hours retyping enquiries, looking up price lists and chasing missing sample details, and past customers rarely hear from you again.

A /

Enquiries get lost

Requests arrive at all hours across personal and shared WhatsApp numbers, with no record of what was asked or answered.

B /

Quoting is manual

Staff check services, methods, TAT and prices by hand. Every quote is slow, and mistakes cost money.

C /

Customers go quiet

Order history sits in the LIMS, but nobody has time to suggest the next relevant test.

02Two agents

One layer on top of your LIMS.

Both agents read from your LIMS and work through WhatsApp. Your laboratory staff stay in control.

05Guardrails

The AI never invents services, prices, test methods, sample requirements or turnaround times.

Who does what.

The language model handles language. Everything that has to be correct is handled by your data and deterministic code.

08FAQ

Questions labs ask us.

Can the AI quote a wrong price?

No. Prices, tax and totals are calculated by backend business logic from your LIMS or service database. The AI only handles the conversation.

What if a customer asks for a test we don't offer?

The agent only offers services it finds in your LIMS, so it won't invent one. The enquiry is still saved, so your team can follow up.

Does anything get sent without approval?

Marketing messages never go out until an administrator approves each draft. Quotations are built from your fixed template using verified LIMS data.

Does our team have to change how it works?

No. Staff keep working in your LIMS. Enquiries are saved and orders are created there where needed.

Which LIMS do you work with?

We connect through your LIMS API and agree exactly which data (services, prices, customers, orders) the agents read and write. No API yet? Tell us; the pilot can start from your service and price database.

What about customer data and privacy?

Access is limited to what the pilot needs and follows your lab's privacy policy. Agent actions are logged for review.
