# MonkeyChat — Full Product Description > AI-powered WhatsApp agent that handles inbound service requests, creates tickets, estimates costs, and books appointments for craftsmen — 24/7. ## Overview MonkeyChat is a SaaS product built for craftsmen and trade businesses in Germany — plumbers, electricians, heating technicians, and similar service providers. It connects to a business's WhatsApp number and acts as an AI-powered front desk, handling every inbound customer inquiry automatically. ## The Problem Craftsmen lose customers because they can't answer the phone while on a job. Calls go to voicemail, texts sit unread for hours, and leads move on to the next business. Evenings, weekends, and holidays are completely unserved. ## How It Works 1. **Customer messages via WhatsApp** — A homeowner describes their issue (leaking pipe, broken heater, electrical fault) through a normal WhatsApp message. 2. **AI agent collects details** — The agent conducts a natural conversational intake. It asks follow-up questions, accepts photos and voice notes, assesses urgency, and provides an instant cost estimate. No forms, no apps to install — just WhatsApp. 3. **Ticket created & appointment booked** — A structured service ticket is generated with all details. An appointment is booked in the craftsman's calendar. Both the craftsman and customer receive confirmations. The entire process — from first message to confirmed booking — takes approximately 3 minutes. ## Key Features - **Conversational intake** — Natural WhatsApp conversation that collects problem details, photos, voice notes, and urgency assessment without any forms. - **Auto-generated tickets** — Every conversation produces a structured service ticket with all collected details, category, urgency level, and cost estimate. - **AI cost estimates** — Instant ballpark estimates based on service category, urgency, and historical data, setting the right expectations upfront. - **Dynamic scheduling** — Checks real availability and books appointments directly into the craftsman's calendar with no back-and-forth. - **24/7 availability** — Handles messages around the clock including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Zero missed leads. - **Media support** — Accepts and processes photos, voice notes, and text messages from customers. ## Performance - Response time: under 30 seconds - Intake completion rate: 95% - Intake to booking: approximately 3 minutes - Missed leads: zero (every message is handled) ## Pricing €49 per month.
