An AI agent serves your furniture store 24/7 on WhatsApp. ## Customers decide to buy after you've closed Think about when people actually shop for furniture: Sunday afternoon, after dinner, Friday at 11 p.m. when they finally have a moment. That's exactly when your furniture store is closed and your team is unavailable. The customer sends a message: "Do you have this dining set in brown?", "do you deliver to my city?", "how much over installments?". If that question goes unanswered until Monday morning, two things happen: either the customer has cooled off, or they've already messaged three other stores and buy from the first one that replied. At Catalizadora we build an AI agent that serves your furniture store on WhatsApp **24 hours a day, seven days a week**, in your brand's voice. It answers, qualifies, books, and closes while you sleep or rest with your family. ## Your hours are a silent leak Most furniture stores measure what they sell during store hours. Almost nobody measures what they lose after hours, because they never even find out. ### When the sales you miss actually arrive - **Evenings.** After 8 p.m. people browse your catalog from the couch. That's the peak hour for deciding, and the dead hour for your service. - **Full weekends.** Saturday afternoon and all of Sunday are when couples decide on a big purchase together. If your only channel is the store phone, that customer is left hanging. - **Holidays and long weekends.** When people have free time, your store is closed. That's precisely when furniture gets bought most. This isn't about your team working more hours. It's about no conversation going unanswered, without anyone losing sleep. ## What the agent does when you're not there It's not an automatic "we'll reply during business hours" message. It's real service that moves the sale forward. 1. **It replies instantly, any hour.** Availability, colors, dimensions, financing, delivery times. With your real data, not vague answers. 2. **It speaks as your brand.** If your store is warm and friendly, the agent is warm and friendly. If it's formal, it's formal. It doesn't sound like a robot. 3. **It qualifies as it talks.** It tells apart the customer buying this week from the one just dreaming, and prioritizes the first. 4. **It books and closes.** It reserves the Saturday showroom visit, sends the payment link, or holds the piece. The customer moves forward without waiting for Monday. 5. **It hands you everything ready.** When you open on Monday, you have every overnight and weekend conversation in the CRM, with the customer already qualified and the next step clear. ## The math: what it costs to not answer at night We don't invent client metrics, but run the math yourself. A furniture store gets a large share of its inquiries after hours. If even **one furniture sale a week** cools off from those conversations for lack of a timely reply, over a month that's a real hit to revenue. Now compare it to the cost of covering those hours by hand. Paying night and weekend shifts to answer WhatsApp is expensive, hard to sustain, and collapses the moment someone is out. The agent covers 100% of those hours with no shifts, no absences, and no fatigue. Our operation is **pass-through, roughly $200 to $400 USD a month** for hosting and tokens, with no margin on top. It's not a per-seat subscription or a retainer. It's 24/7 service for the cost of the infrastructure. ## What we deliver and who owns it With **MAGIA Solo** we build your agent, your site, and your CRM in **15 days for $4,500 USD**. And most important: **the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours**, with no retainers or locked licenses. If you decide to run it on your own, everything stays in your name. We do it with the MAGIA methodology: **M**apping your operation, **A**rchitecting the agent and CRM, **G**enerating the system, **I**mplementing it on your WhatsApp and catalog, and **A**utonomy so it works 24 hours without you. For furniture stores with several locations or higher message volume, **MAGIA Core ($15,000)** and **Forge ($20,000, 12 weeks)** scale the same idea to a larger operation. ## Visibility works at night too Serving 24/7 is worth little if the customer can't find you at that hour. That's why, alongside the agent, we set up your site with a proprietary technical layer that helps your furniture store show up when people search at night or on weekends, right before they send you a message. It's the full loop: the customer searches at 10 p.m., finds you, browses your catalog, messages on WhatsApp, and the agent serves them instantly. Without that second link, 24/7 service just waits on messages that never arrive. That's why we don't deliver a loose bot, but a system where presence and service work together around the clock. And because everything stays in your name, that presence compounds in your favor month after month. You're not renting visibility that switches off the day you stop paying a subscription: you're building an asset that belongs to your business. ## The next step While your store is closed, your customers keep deciding. The question is whether someone answers them, or whether they buy from whoever does. Message our AI agent on WhatsApp on a Sunday night and see for yourself how it responds, or book a call with Pablo at https://cal.com/pablo-estrada-hlqaql to see it applied to your furniture store. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Does the agent really serve customers 24 hours and on weekends?
