Madar Relay · AI customer service

Your customers ask. Relay answers.

Relay is an AI customer service assistant. It answers your customers on WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Telegram and your website chat, in Arabic and English, from the information your business approves. Requests that need a member of staff go to your team, with the details.

For any business that answers customer questions: shops, clinics, insurers and service providers. Built by Madar in Kuwait.

How it works

From the customer's question to the right answer.

  1. The customer sends a question

    On WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Telegram or your website chat, in Arabic or English, at any hour.

  2. Relay answers from your business information

    The prices, services, opening hours and policies your business approves. Connected to your systems, it can also answer questions such as order status.

  3. Requests that need staff go to your team

    Relay gathers the details and passes the request to the responsible team, so staff can follow up without the customer repeating anything.

Reach customers on the channels they use.

  • WhatsApp Business Messages to your company's WhatsApp Business number.
  • Instagram Direct messages and replies to comments.
    Guide: Instagram auto-reply
  • Telegram A Telegram bot in your company's name.
  • Website chat A chat window on your company's website.

Choose the channels that suit your business. They all answer from the same information.

WhatsApp Business · Retail Replying
تتكلم مع مساعد آلي. تقدر تطلب موظف بأي وقت.
العميلعندكم مقاس ٤٢ من الجوتي اللي بالستوري؟
ريلايهلا فيك. إي نعم، مقاس ٤٢ متوفر باللون الأسود والبني، والسعر ١٨ دينار. الأبيض غير متوفر حالياً بهذا المقاس.
أبي الأسود، مقاس ٤٢. وكم التوصيل للفنطاس؟
التوصيل للفنطاس بدينارين، ويوصلك خلال يوم عمل. أرسل لك رابط المنتج عشان تكمل الطلب؟

Illustrative example, in Arabic: a customer asks for the shoes from the story in size 42; Relay confirms black and brown at 18 KD, delivery to Fintas for 2 KD, and offers the product link. Sizes, prices and delivery charges come from the product list the business provides, so they are as current as its latest update. The order is placed only when the customer completes it through the link.

Capabilities

Answers based on your business information.

Relay works from the information you give us: prices, products and services, opening hours, delivery charges and the returns policy. If it can't find the answer in that information, it tells the customer and passes the request to your team.

Answers from your approved information

Every answer is based on the information your business approves. When a price or policy changes, you send us the update and we change it, so the answer changes too.

Understands your customers. Replies in their language.

It understands Arabic, including Kuwaiti dialect however it is spelled, and English. It replies in the customer's language.

Your files, and your systems once connected

Without any connection, it answers from your company's files. Connected to your order or booking system, it can answer questions such as order status from the order number.

The same information on every channel

WhatsApp Business, Instagram, Telegram and your website chat all work from the same information, so your customer gets the same answer wherever they ask.

Replies after hours

Customer questions don't stop when your business closes. Relay answers what it can, and gathers the details of requests that need follow-up for your team to pick up during working hours.

A conversation report when you ask

Ask Relay for a PDF report of its conversations: what it answered, what it passed to your team, and the questions it couldn't answer, so you know what information to add.

Handover

It knows when a customer needs a person.

Some requests need a member of staff: payment issues and refund requests, complaints, and any customer who is upset. Relay gathers the details first and passes them to the responsible team, so staff can follow up without the customer repeating anything.

  • You decide which cases need a person, and which team handles each one
  • If a customer asks for a person, Relay passes the request to your team
  • Relay tells the customer their request has been passed on, and who will follow it up
  • Your team follows up, within your own working hours. We set up and connect Relay; we never answer your customers ourselves

Relay handles repeated questions so your team can focus on the requests that need their attention.

WhatsApp Business · Accounts Passed to staff
You're chatting with an automated assistant. Ask for a person at any time.
CustomerI was charged twice for order 4821, 12 KD each time.
RelaySorry for the trouble. I've passed your request to the accounts team to review the duplicate charge, with the order number and the amount.
Passed to the accounts team · 9:14 am
Noura from accounts joined the conversation · 10:02 am
Noura · AccountsGood morning, this is Noura from the accounts team. I've checked the order and the second charge is a duplicate. We've started the refund, and the amount will reach your card in 3 to 5 working days, depending on your bank.

Illustrative example. Relay does not decide on refunds: it passes the request and its details to the company's accounts team, and the accounts employee checks the charge and starts the refund.

Before you start

What we need from you to start.

We set up Relay and connect it to your channels and systems. From you, we need accounts in the company's name, your business information, and a team to receive the requests that need staff.

  1. Accounts in the company's name

    A WhatsApp Business number, an Instagram business account, a Telegram bot or chat on your website, depending on the channels you choose. All of them must be in the company's name.

  2. Platform approvals

    Some channels, such as WhatsApp Business and Instagram, need business verification and approval from the platform itself. We explain what is required and work through it with you, step by step.

  3. Your business information, ready to use

    Prices, products and services, delivery charges, opening hours, and return and warranty terms. If some of it isn't written down yet, we sit with your team and prepare it together.

  4. Clear handover rules and responsible team members

    Decide which topics Relay always passes on, who on your team receives each type, and how soon they reply. Relay works best when a specific person receives every request.

Relay always tells the customer they are talking to an automated assistant, and passes the request to your team if they ask for a person.
