What Is an AI Virtual Assistant and How Does It Work for Local Businesses

What is an AI virtual assistant?
An AI virtual assistant is software that uses artificial intelligence to communicate with your customers naturally, via WhatsApp or web chat, 24 hours a day.
Unlike a traditional chatbot with rigid menus, an AI assistant understands context and responds like an experienced receptionist would.
How does it work for a local business?
Imagine you run a dental clinic. It is 10 PM and a potential patient texts your WhatsApp asking about a teeth cleaning.
Without an AI assistant: The message sits unanswered until morning. The patient finds another clinic.
