What Kiko does for Filipino businesses

  • Answers from your own content

    Kiko reads your website, PDFs and price lists and answers only from them (retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG), with the page or file each answer came from. It doesn't make up a price or a phone number.

Languages your customers in the Philippines write in

Filipino customers switch between English and Filipino freely and type Taglish as naturally as either. Kiko replies in the customer's own mix, from knowledge written in English.

  • Taglish

    “Magkano po yung cleaning? Pwede bukas?” gets a friendly answer in the same mix, with the po kept.

  • Filipino and English

    Customers who write only in Filipino or only in English get replies in that language.

  • Cebuano and Ilocano

    Kiko replies in regional languages to customers who use them; try a few in the playground first.

  • English-only if you want

    A business that works in English can fix the reply language to English for everyone.

Where customers in the Philippines reach you

Filipino customers find businesses on social media and their websites, and many businesses send them on to WhatsApp to book or order. Kiko answers on your website, WhatsApp and Telegram.

  • Website chat

    Visitors on your site get answers and bookings on the spot, without waiting for a reply on social media.

  • WhatsApp for clients and overseas customers

    Professional services, BPO clients and customers abroad often prefer WhatsApp; Kiko answers there on your business number.

  • Telegram groups

    Communities and online sellers on Telegram can answer questions there with the same agent.
