Where Kapso fits best
Kapso is built around WhatsApp: the API, automation, AI agents, customer-owned onboarding, and day-to-day operations, all in one place.
- WhatsApp is a core product surface.
- Customers need their own connected numbers.
- Agents need CLI and Kapso WhatsApp MCP tools.
- Workflows need triggers, waits, functions, and handoff.
- Humans need an inbox for takeover.
- Pricing should be simple to model.
WhatsApp costs and account changes
Pricing is only one part of the infrastructure decision. Account ownership and billing are changing too.
