Getting Started

What is bitbybit?

bitbybit is a WhatsApp-first AI commerce platform that helps brands sell, support, and grow from one connected system. It combines AI agents, conversations, CRM, automation, and commerce so teams can manage the customer journey without stitching together separate tools.

Who is bitbybit best for?

bitbybit is the strongest fit for Shopify and modern commerce brands that use WhatsApp as a serious sales, support, or retention channel. It is especially useful for teams that want one system for AI, CRM, support, cart recovery, and follow-up.

Is bitbybit only for large companies?

No. bitbybit can work for growing brands as well as larger teams. The platform is designed to help brands start with one workflow and expand into a more connected system over time.

How do I get started with bitbybit?

Most teams start with a free trial or a demo, then launch one priority workflow first. Common starting points are AI support on WhatsApp, Shopify-connected sales flows, CTWA lead qualification, or lifecycle automation. The platform is designed so brands can start narrow and then expand into a more connected operating system without replacing tools twice.

Platform and Products

What is the difference between bitChat, bitCRM, and AI Studio?

bitChat is the conversation layer where sales and support happen. bitCRM is the customer record and lifecycle layer for segmentation, campaigns, and follow-up. AI Studio is the control layer where teams configure prompts, knowledge, actions, guardrails, and escalation rules for the AI agents used across the system.

Does bitbybit replace multiple tools?

For many brands, yes. bitbybit is designed to replace the fragmented setup where one tool handles inboxes, another handles CRM, another handles campaigns, another handles recovery, and another handles support. The value is not just fewer subscriptions. It is one customer record, one AI layer, and one operational system across sales, support, commerce, and follow-up.

Is bitbybit just a chatbot tool?

No. bitbybit is a WhatsApp-first AI commerce platform, not just a chatbot. AI can answer questions, qualify leads, recommend products, recover carts, support customers, enrich CRM records, and trigger the next action across the customer journey. The product is built around operational outcomes, not just automated replies.

What can bitbybit actually do across the customer journey?

bitbybit can qualify leads from CTWA traffic, route and convert customers in WhatsApp conversations, recover abandoned carts, resolve support with order context, enrich customer records automatically, trigger campaigns and retention workflows, and hand over to human teams when judgment is needed. The main capability is that these steps run from the same system and the same customer context instead of separate tools.

Shopify and Commerce

Does bitbybit work with Shopify?

Yes. bitbybit is built to support Shopify brands with store-connected workflows like live customer context, product and order visibility, cart recovery, support, follow-up, and product-related actions. Shopify is one of the strongest public fits on the site because store data makes the AI, CRM, and commerce workflows materially better.

Do I need Shopify to use bitbybit?

No. Shopify is a strong fit, but bitbybit also supports broader commerce use cases for brands that want to sell, get paid, fulfill, and follow up through WhatsApp and connected workflows.

Can bitbybit help recover abandoned carts?

Yes. bitbybit connects store and conversation signals so brands can automate cart recovery and follow up in a more relevant way on WhatsApp. Recovery is not treated as a standalone app or isolated reminder sequence. It is part of the same customer journey used for support, sales, and retention.

Can customers browse and buy through WhatsApp?

Yes. bitbybit is designed for WhatsApp-first commerce flows including product discovery, guided selling, checkout support, and post-purchase follow-up. The site positions this as conversational commerce: the customer can ask, decide, buy, and come back through the same thread instead of resetting context across separate surfaces.

AI and Automation

What can AI do inside bitbybit?

AI can answer repetitive questions, recommend products, qualify demand, guide customers to the next step, enrich customer context, write summaries, trigger workflows, and support sales or support operations depending on how the setup is configured. The public product story emphasizes AI that takes action inside the business system, not only AI that generates text.

Do I need to connect WhatsApp or Shopify before testing AI?

Not always. bitbybit can support testing AI workflows before going fully live, depending on the setup and workflow being configured.

What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?

A chatbot usually follows predefined logic and rules. An AI agent responds more dynamically, uses context better, and can support more flexible workflows across sales, support, and commerce.

Can AI hand over to a human?

Yes. bitbybit is designed so AI and human teams work from the same thread and the same customer record. AI resolves repetitive work first, then routes more complex cases with the context, summary, and suggested next action already attached when human attention is needed.

WhatsApp and Integrations

Is bitbybit built for official WhatsApp?

Yes. bitbybit is positioned around official WhatsApp workflows for acquisition, conversion, support, and retention. It is built for brands that want WhatsApp to operate as a serious commercial channel, not just a chat inbox.

Does bitbybit support Click-to-WhatsApp Ads and Meta CAPI?

Yes. bitbybit supports CTWA and Meta CAPI workflows so brands can connect ads, conversation entry, attribution, lead qualification, and follow-up more effectively. The public site positions this as one of the clearest advantages of using WhatsApp as a performance and conversion channel, not just a support channel.

What is WhatsApp API Coexistence?

WhatsApp API Coexistence is a setup model that lets brands run official WhatsApp workflows with scalable team operations while keeping the number and business systems connected. It is useful for teams that want stronger operations without breaking what is already live.

Can bitbybit collect customer information inside WhatsApp?

Yes. bitbybit supports structured data collection inside the conversation, including form-style workflows for lead qualification or customer input.

Pricing, Setup, and Support

Is there a free trial or a way to try bitbybit first?

Yes. bitbybit offers a free-trial path for teams that want to evaluate the platform before a full rollout. The exact entry path should follow the current live pricing or signup flow.

Is setup complicated?

No. bitbybit is designed to reduce setup complexity compared with stitching together multiple separate tools. The right implementation path depends on whether the team starts with support, commerce, AI, or Shopify.

Do I need a technical team to use bitbybit?

Not necessarily. bitbybit is designed to be usable by business teams, with onboarding and guided setup for the workflows being implemented.

What kind of support does bitbybit provide?

bitbybit provides support as part of the product and onboarding experience, with the exact scope following the live plan and rollout path. The public site consistently presents onboarding as guided rather than self-serve only, especially for teams launching WhatsApp, Shopify, AI, or commerce workflows for the first time.

Is customer data secure?

bitbybit is designed to handle customer and business data in a structured operational environment. Security, onboarding, and implementation details should follow the current live product and commercial terms.

Compare / Alternatives

How is bitbybit different from tools like respond.io, WATI, or Tidio?

bitbybit is built around WhatsApp-first commerce and one connected system across AI, CRM, commerce, and automation. It is designed for brands that want WhatsApp to drive revenue and retention, not just ticket handling or generic omnichannel messaging. The main difference is operational depth: the site consistently positions bitbybit as a commercial system that can qualify, convert, support, and retain customers from the same customer context.

Why would a Shopify brand choose bitbybit instead of stitching together multiple apps?

bitbybit is designed to replace the fragmented setup many Shopify brands run today: one tool for WhatsApp, another for CRM, another for cart recovery, another for support, and another for campaigns. Instead, bitbybit connects those workflows in one system from day one. The benefit is not just consolidation. It is better AI quality, cleaner customer context, and fewer operational gaps between sales, support, and retention.
