A ManyChat alternative powered by real AI, not flowcharts
ManyChat made chat marketing flows famous. If what you actually want is a bot that understands customers, answers from your content, and hands hard questions to your team — that is what Sakhi.Chat is built for.
Flows automate messages. AI automates understanding.
Flow builders shine for broadcast-style journeys: comment triggers, giveaway funnels, drip campaigns. But customers do not follow flowcharts — they ask "is it open now?", "do you deliver to Lakeside?", "can I change my order?". Every phrasing you did not predict is a dead end. Sakhi.Chat starts from the opposite end: an AI grounded in your own business contentanswers free-form questions natively, and structured flows are the optional extra — not the whole product.
What you get with Sakhi.Chat
- AI trained on your content — website scraping, documents, manual Q&A; grounded answers with no invention.
- Shared team inbox — every channel in one place with assignment, routing and internal notes; see shared inbox.
- Human handover — customers can always reach a person; your team gets alerted with context.
- Commerce built in — order capture with special requests, appointment booking, lead scoring into a CRM.
- WhatsApp done properly — official API, broadcasts, templates and sequences; see WhatsApp automation.
- Email as a channel — support email lands in the same inbox with the same AI.
Who should still pick a flow builder?
Honest answer: if your entire use case is Instagram comment-to-DM growth campaigns and you love designing funnels, a flow-first tool is a fine fit. If your bot's job is to serve customers and capture revenue — answering, selling, booking, qualifying — an AI-first platform gets you there without building a single flowchart.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Sakhi.Chat and ManyChat?
Philosophy. ManyChat is built around marketing automation flows you design node by node. Sakhi.Chat is built around an AI assistant trained on your business content that answers natural questions on its own — plus a shared team inbox, CRM and human handover for everything the AI should not decide.
Do I have to build conversation flows?
No. You train the AI on your website, documents and Q&A entries, and it handles free-form questions from day one. A visual flow builder exists for the structured journeys you do want — but it is optional, not the foundation.
Which channels are covered?
Website live chat, WhatsApp (official API), Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Viber and email — in one shared inbox.
Can my team take over from the bot?
Yes — visible human handover is core. The AI steps back on customer request, low confidence or negative sentiment, and your team gets the full transcript with a mobile alert.
Is migrating hard?
There is nothing to rebuild: no flow migration, because the AI works from your content. Connect your channels, train on your site, and you are answering the same day. Every plan has a 15-day free trial.
