A WhatsApp AI assistant that replies to your customers 24/7, understands their questions, and never forgets your products or policies — all with no monthly subscription. Here is exactly how to set it up.

TamoWork vs paid tools: the difference that matters

❌ Paid tools
  • $30–100/month subscription
  • Data sent to external servers
  • Requires constant internet
  • Cancel = lose everything
✅ TamoWork
  • 100% free — no subscription
  • Local AI on your computer
  • Works offline after setup
  • Your data stays with you

What a WhatsApp AI assistant actually does

A WhatsApp AI assistant monitors incoming messages and replies automatically using information about your business. It can answer questions about products, prices, availability, shipping, and more — without you lifting a finger. The key difference from a basic autoresponder is that it understands and responds to anything the customer writes.

Local AI vs cloud AI

Most AI assistants run on remote servers and charge per message or per month. TamoWork runs the AI model locally on your Windows PC. This means no cloud costs, no data privacy concerns, and no monthly bill.

  3. Open the app and scan the QR code with your phone
  4. Write your business information in the context field

Writing effective business context

The context you provide determines how well the AI answers. Include: your business name and what you sell, product catalog with prices, working hours, shipping or service areas, payment methods accepted, return or cancellation policy. The more detail, the better the answers.

Ongoing costs

There are none. TamoWork is free to download and free to use. The AI model is open source and runs entirely on your hardware. Your only cost is electricity for your PC.
