BizAgent vs team inbox tools and WhatsApp Business
Tools like WATI, respond.io, SleekFlow and TimelinesAI give your staff a shared inbox. BizAgent does something different: it leaves your staff where they are and tells you, the owner, what they missed.

Honest fit
When BizAgent is not the right choice
You want a chatbot to answer customers
BizAgent does not reply to customers on its own. Your team replies; BizAgent tells you how that is going.
You need per-agent assignment and performance
On a shared number WhatsApp does not record who replied. If you need assignment and per-agent reports, a team inbox is the right tool.
You run a contact centre with a ticketing system
Large support teams with supervisors already have reporting. BizAgent is for owner-run businesses with a small team.
