What Kiko does for UK 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.

  • Support that hands off

    When a customer asks for a person, or your knowledge doesn't cover the question, Kiko hands the chat to your team in a shared inbox with the whole conversation.

Languages your customers in the UK write in

Most UK customers write in English, and a good number write in the language they're most at home in. Kiko answers each in the language they use, from knowledge written in English.

  • Plain British English

    Kiko answers in clear, friendly English, and you can set its tone in the agent's settings: more formal for a solicitor, warmer for a salon.

  • Polish, Urdu, Punjabi and more

    A customer who writes in Polish, Urdu, Punjabi, Romanian or Arabic gets the answer in that language, from your English price list.

  • Welsh

    Kiko replies in Welsh to customers who write in Welsh. Check a few answers in the playground before you rely on it.

  • Or always English

    If your team works only in English, set the reply language to English and Kiko sticks to it for every customer.

Where customers in the UK reach you

UK customers find you on your website and then message you on WhatsApp, the app most of them already use with friends and family. Telegram is less common, but some communities and clubs run on it.

  • Website chat where they find you

    Visitors on your site can ask about prices, availability and how things work, and book without picking up the phone.

  • WhatsApp for the follow-up

    Connect your business number through Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform; customers who'd rather message than call get an answer straight away.

  • One inbox for both

    Website and WhatsApp chats land in one list for your team, each with its full history.

What WhatsApp costs in the UK

Meta's the UK rates per delivered message, from its USD rate card effective 1 October 2026. Meta bills them to your own WhatsApp account; HeyKiko adds nothing to them.

WhatsApp message rates in the UK

MarketingOffers and announcements, to customers who opted in$0.0635
UtilityBooking reminders, order and delivery updates$0.022
ServiceReplies inside the 24-hour window, after 1,000 free a month per number$0.022

For a dental practice in Manchester with 1,200 chats a month and about 4 replies each, 4,800 replies are 3,800 paid after the free 1,000: $83.60. Adding 1,500 reminders and updates ($33.00) and 300 offers ($19.05) brings Meta's bill to about $135.65 a month.
