The problem

Your Page gets messages all night. Your team clocks out.

Customers treat a Facebook Page like a text thread — asking at midnight, on a Sunday, on a public holiday — and every hour unanswered, the sale slips away. Agentic AI answering inside your main inbox closes that gap with instant replies around the clock, and a clean handoff for anything that needs a human.
