We build AI assistants for South African businesses. They answer your WhatsApps and send your quotes, day or night. When something's above their pay grade, they ask you first.
That's K, the Kilo flag. Ships fly it to say "I wish to communicate with you."
Why it's ours
Most of it is the same handful of questions. Those it can answer straight away, even at 11pm. The rest go to you.
Pick a business and play the owner. When the assistant isn't sure about something, it'll ask you, and you decide what happens next.

Sizwe's phonethat's you
Drag each job to where you want it, or tap it to switch sides. Most owners will want to keep anything to do with money for themselves. Fair enough.
Answered straight away, day or night, from your own prices and policies.
Sent to your phone with the details and one-tap answers.
Whatever you choose, if it's ever unsure, it asks you anyway. Hours are a rough estimate for a business getting about 40 messages a day.
Want more detail? Start with whichever part of the week hurts most.
Ships talk to each other in flags. Each flag stands for a letter, and each one also has a standard meaning of its own. Keelson uses six different flags, so we matched each one to a rule we work by.
Four steps, with the prices on the page. You can stop after any one of them and keep what you've got.
Tell us where your week goes, and we'll give you an honest view on whether AI can help and roughly what it'd be worth to you.
We go through your messages, quotes and admin to find where the hours are going. You get a written plan of what we'd build, with the price and our estimate of when it pays for itself.
We build it, then sea-trial it: a couple of weeks testing it on your past chats, with you checking its answers, before it talks to customers. Your team gets shown how it works, and you own everything we make.
We check on it weekly and update it when your prices or hours change. If you need something, WhatsApp us.
Keelson is a small team based in Cape Town. Most small businesses we know run on WhatsApp, and it's usually the owner answering it, often late at night. Half of it is the same few questions. That's the part we take off their hands.
We build every system in-house. Before anything goes live we spend a good while trying to trip it up with rude customers, weird requests and people angling for discounts. The people who build your system are the ones who answer when you message.
The things people ask on the first call. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us.
Tell us on a free 30-minute call. If AI can fix it, we'll show you roughly what it's worth. If it can't, we'll say so, and we'll probably point you to someone who can.
