Yalo

Selling over messaging apps usually means stitching together chat tools, campaign software and a separate order process, and customers drop out somewhere in between.

Yalo is a conversational commerce platform that handles sales, engagement and customer relationships through conversations on WhatsApp and other messaging apps.

It sits in the AI chatbot and AI sales assistant space, and it uses generative AI to run those conversations.

Yalo covers several jobs in one spot.

You can build conversational commerce flows, run mobile marketing campaigns that start a chat with customers, and use a native conversational commerce solution to close sales inside the thread.

Analytics let you see how those conversations perform so you can adjust your approach over time.

The company also offers Yalo Clouds, which it positions as a way to reshape a business ecosystem around conversation.

The focus is clearly on companies that want customers to buy and get support in the same messaging app they already use every day.

If your sales still live mostly on websites or email, the fit is less obvious.

Yalo is geared toward messaging-first selling.
