Human handoff & routing
Transfer complex chats to the right agent with context, tags, and conversation history preserved.
Operational alerts & campaigns
Payment reminders, delivery updates, and system alerts integrated with ERP, HMS, or payment portals.
WhatsApp chatbot pricing
What WhatsApp AI automation costs in Sri Lanka
Budget for three layers: WhatsApp Business API / Meta conversation fees, Capricon’s build and tuning work, and ongoing monitoring. Bands below are Capricon project planning ranges in LKR—final quotes follow discovery of languages, handoff rules, and system integrations.
FAQ + handoff pilot
Often LKR 350K – 750K project
Approved knowledge base, 1–2 languages, business-hours agent handoff, analytics. Good first step when the goal is fewer repeated WhatsApp replies.
Bookings & order status
Often LKR 750K – 1.8M project
Appointment or order flows, payment-link prompts, richer routing, and light CRM/ERP lookups. Typical for clinics, retailers, and service desks.
System-connected ops bot
Often LKR 1.8M – 4M+ project
Deep ERP/HMS/payment portal reads or writes, campaigns, SLA monitoring, and AMC. Upper end rises with multi-brand catalogues and after-hours coverage.
Meta conversation charges and BSP fees are billed separately. Capricon quotes build + AMC after scoping languages, volumes, and integrations.
What this looks like live
WhatsApp automation patterns Capricon ships
These are composite patterns from Capricon AI and product deployments—not anonymised client logos. Use them to scope your first workflow.
Clinic appointments without phone tag
Patients book or reschedule on WhatsApp; the bot confirms slots against clinic rules and hands clinical exceptions to reception with chat history intact.
Retail order + payment chase
Order confirmation, LankaQR/payment-link nudges, and delivery ETA updates reduce “where is my order?” load while posting status into Capricon Pay or ERP when connected.
Collections without spreadsheet lists
Overdue reminders with approved wording, escalation to a human collector, and optional loan or invoice status from Capricon Fund / Core—never free-form money advice.
WhatsApp languages
WhatsApp bots customers can message in their language
Most Sri Lankan buyers live on WhatsApp. Capricon designs Business API chatbots that handle English, Sinhala, Tamil, and Singlish-style mixing—then connect order status, bookings, or payment reminders to your ERP, HMS, or CRM when the workflow needs system data.
WhatsApp Business API
Automation on official Business API channels suited to verified business messaging—not fragile unofficial wrappers.
Multilingual support flows
FAQs, bookings, and status updates designed for how customers actually write on WhatsApp.
System-connected replies
Where useful, bots pull or update records in Capricon products or third-party systems under your rules.

FAQs
What is AI integration?
AI integration connects artificial intelligence—chatbots, agents, document extraction, or predictive models—to your existing business systems such as ERP, HMS, CRM, payment portals, and internal databases so AI can read context, prepare actions, and automate work under your rules.
How is AI integration different from just using ChatGPT?
A chat tool answers questions in isolation. AI integration reads and writes against your ERP, CRM, WhatsApp, or documents under permissions, approval rules, and audit logs—so automation happens inside real workflows, not in a separate browser tab.
What is the difference between an AI chatbot and an AI agent?
A chatbot mainly converses and routes people. An AI agent can plan multi-step work—read system data, draft actions, call tools or APIs, and wait for human approval before executing. Many projects start with a chatbot and grow into agents once data and rules are ready.
Can AI connect with our existing ERP or CRM?
Yes. Capricon integrates AI with Capricon Core ERP, hospital systems, recruitment platforms, payment portals, and third-party CRM or accounting tools through APIs, controlled database access, and secure middleware—without replacing systems that already work.
Can Capricon build a WhatsApp AI chatbot?
Yes. We build WhatsApp Business API chatbots for customer support, order updates, appointment booking, payment reminders, and internal alerts—with human handoff when a person should take over. Conversations can be designed for English, Sinhala, Tamil, and mixed Singlish patterns customers actually use.
Do your AI chatbots support Sinhala and Tamil?
Yes. Capricon designs chatbot and WhatsApp flows for the languages your customers and staff use—including English, Sinhala, Tamil, and code-mixed Singlish—grounded in your approved knowledge base rather than free-form guessing.
Can you integrate AI with our internal database?
Yes. We connect AI workflows to internal databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets, and legacy systems using secure read/write boundaries, role-based permissions, and audit logs.
How long does an AI integration project take?
A focused pilot—such as a support chatbot or invoice extraction workflow—often takes 4–8 weeks. Multi-system agent workflows with ERP, WhatsApp, and reporting typically take 8–16 weeks depending on data quality and approval complexity.
How much does a WhatsApp AI chatbot cost in Sri Lanka?
Budget three layers: Meta/WhatsApp Business API conversation fees, Capricon’s build and tuning, and ongoing AMC. Capricon FAQ+handoff pilots often plan in the mid-hundreds of thousands LKR; bookings and light ERP lookups often mid to high hundreds of thousands to low millions; deep system-connected ops bots run higher. Capricon quotes after discovery of languages, volumes, and integrations.
How much does AI integration cost in Sri Lanka?
Costs depend on scope: chatbot-only pilots start lower; ERP-connected agents with document AI and dashboards cost more. Capricon provides phased estimates after discovery so you can start with one measurable workflow before expanding.
When should a business not start with AI?
If the process has no owner, no measurable outcome, or the underlying data cannot be trusted for that workflow, fix the operating basics first. Capricon will say so in discovery rather than force a pilot that cannot succeed.
Do we need clean data before starting?
You do not need perfect data everywhere, but the first workflow needs a clear data source, owner, and approval rules. Capricon helps assess readiness and clean the minimum dataset required for a reliable pilot.
Can AI automate reports and approvals?
Yes. AI can assemble draft management reports, flag exceptions, route approvals, and prepare finance or operations summaries—while keeping human sign-off on high-risk actions such as payments, discounts, or patient-facing messages.
Can AI work with hospital, finance, HR or retail systems?
Yes. Capricon builds AI integrations for hospitals (scheduling, patient flow), finance (invoicing, collections), HR and recruitment (screening, scheduling), retail (POS, stock signals), and microfinance (loan workflows, support).
Do you provide support after implementation?
Yes. Capricon provides training, monitoring, prompt and workflow tuning, model fallback planning, and annual maintenance so AI integrations stay accurate as your business and regulations change.
