How Glifz compares to WhatsApp Business app
| Capability | Glifz | WhatsApp Business app |
|---|---|---|
| AI that sells, not just replies | Maya recommends from your live catalog, checks stock and builds carts | Not the core focus |
| Cart editing in plain words | “Swap the oxford for the tee pack” updates the cart instantly | Not the core focus |
| Checkout without leaving WhatsApp | In-chat checkout and your store in WhatsApp’s in-app browser | Not the core focus |
| AI → human handoff with context | Escalates with summary, sentiment and a drafted reply; one-click hand back | Not the core focus |
| Automations from one sentence | Describe it; the agent builds triggers, waits and stop rules | Varies by plan |
| AI campaign agent | Spots opportunities, drafts copy, runs compliance, you approve | Varies by plan |
| AI CRM | Auto-tags from chats, predicted LTV and churn, ask in plain words | Not the core focus |
| Auto-generated RFM segments | Champions, loyal, at-risk — recalculated nightly | Not the core focus |
| Compliance guardrails | Opt-in only, suppression, duplicate checks, limits and audit logs | Varies by plan |
