What AiSensy does well
Credit where it is due. AiSensy offers a wide WhatsApp toolkit: Business API, chatbots and AI agents, payments, forms, WhatsApp Status Ads and an AI ads manager. It also has a free plan to start, a website available in many languages, and phone support listed. These are solid reasons many teams choose it.
How the Smart Growth AI Campaign works
This is the part most WhatsApp-only tools do not do. With one click, AI plans a week-long campaign:
- Voice first: a 30-second call goes to your whole list, and AI tracks how long each person listens.
- Under 10 seconds: not interested, so no paid follow-up and no wasted money.
- 10 to 25 seconds: partially interested, so they get an RCS carousel or video brochure.
- 25+ seconds: highly interested, so they get an Official WhatsApp template with up to 10 videos.
- Pressed 1: hot lead, connected to a live agent straight away.
- DND or failed numbers: RCS is tried, and SMS is the 4th fallback.
Here is an illustrative example at example rates before GST (your quote may differ). Sending RCS, IVR and WhatsApp to everyone in a 3,00,000 student list came to ₹2,47,210 with GST. The intelligent campaign, which sent RCS only to the partially interested and WhatsApp only to the highly interested, came to ₹1,00,501, a saving of about 59% on that example. See the full flow on the Smart Growth AI Campaign page.
