WATI, Interakt and AiSensy are self-serve WhatsApp Business API platforms: you sign up, start a free trial and build chatbots and AI agents yourself in their tools. Wogent is a managed WhatsApp AI agent: the Wogent team connects your number, loads your catalog, tests the agent on real conversations and keeps it running, with a focus on Hindi, Gujarati and English. Which is better depends on whether you want to build it yourself or have it built for you.
