An AI agent on WhatsApp replies instantly, qualifies, and books the lead. ## Your prospects don't buy during office hours Couples don't plan their wedding 9 to 6, Monday through Friday. They plan it Saturday afternoon after the family lunch, Sunday night lying in bed scrolling Instagram, Tuesday at midnight when they finally get a free moment. Your corporate events start with a message that arrives right when you're setting up another event. And there's the problem. When a prospect writes "hi, do you have February 14th available?" on a Saturday at 9 p.m., there are two outcomes. Answer instantly and the conversation moves forward toward a close. Answer Monday at noon and they've probably already messaged three other planners and booked with whoever replied first. In this business, the first reply wins. And the first reply almost never lands in time when it depends on one person who also has to sleep, run events, and have a life. ## An AI agent that never closes At Catalizadora we build AI agents that live in your WhatsApp and respond in your brand's voice, at any hour. It's not an auto-reply saying "thanks, we'll get back to you during business hours." It's a real conversation that moves the prospect forward while you're unavailable. ### What happens when a message arrives off-hours - **Replies in seconds**, whatever the hour, weekends included that's exactly when couples message most. - **Checks availability and context.** It asks the date, guest count, event type. It starts qualifying immediately. - **Shares useful info.** Package ranges, answers to basic questions, examples of your work. - **Books the appointment.** When there's interest, it reserves a visit or call for Monday, with the prospect already committed. - **Sends the payment link** if the prospect is ready to hold the date right then. - **Everything lands in the CRM.** Monday morning you don't start from zero: you have the full conversation, qualified and ready to close. ## The real cost of replying late This isn't theory. Every weekend message you don't answer is a prospect who goes to whoever did. Not because you're the worse planner, but because the couple already had someone attending to them. Think of it in simple numbers. If ten inquiries come in over the weekend and you reply Monday, several of them already spoke with another planner in the meantime. You didn't lose those leads on quality or price you lost them on timing. And that gap repeats every Saturday and every Sunday, week after week, all year. It's a silent leak that shows up in no report, because you never even logged the prospect. The flip side matters just as much: first impressions. A couple that gets an immediate, useful, well-voiced reply at nine on a Saturday night already has a sense of what working with you will feel like. Prompt attention from the very first message. That sells before price ever comes up. ### What an agent that never rests covers | Moment | Without an agent | With an AI agent | |---|---|---| | Saturday 9 p.m. | Unread message | Qualified conversation | | Sunday all day | You wait for Monday | Appointment booked | | While setting up an event | Prospect ignored | Lead served and saved | | Vacation | Business on pause | Normal operation | A planner works their events on weekends exactly when their prospects are searching. The agent covers that structural gap: it serves clients while you're at another client's wedding. ## It's not just speed: it's quality of service Replying fast is useless if the reply is bad. An automated "hi, thanks for your message" off-hours frustrates more than it helps. That's why the agent isn't an autoresponder: it holds a real conversation. It understands whether the couple is asking about availability, budget, or style, and answers that specifically, in your brand's voice. If someone writes "we want something intimate for 40 people in October," the agent doesn't fire back generic text. It recognizes the event type, gives a realistic range, asks what it needs to qualify, and proposes the next step. The couple feels served, not parked in a line. And because everything lands in the CRM, Monday isn't improvised. You arrive to a list of qualified prospects, with full context, sorted by how ready they are to close. Your weekend goes to the events you already have; your new prospects are handled by the agent. ## How we build it We use the MAGIA method: Mapping, Architecture, Generation, Implementation, and Autonomy. We map your real calendar, your packages, and how you serve clients, so the agent answers the way you would, not with generic lines. In Implementation we connect it to your WhatsApp and your CRM, and by Autonomy the agent runs on its own while you're at another event. What matters: the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours. No retainers, no locked-in licenses. Operations run as pass-through, roughly 200 to 400 USD a month for hosting and tokens, with no markup from us. The entry point is MAGIA Solo: 4,500 USD delivered in 15 days. For more volume and integrations, MAGIA Core at 15,000 USD; and for a deeper custom system, Forge at 20,000 USD over 12 weeks. Your brand's visibility is held up by a proprietary technical layer, with no need for you to deal with the how. ## Stop losing your weekend leads Your competition isn't necessarily better. Sometimes they just replied first. An AI agent on WhatsApp that serves 24/7, qualifies, and books while you're asleep or at an event always puts you in that first reply that wins. Message our AI agent on WhatsApp and see it yourself at any hour it will serve you, qualify you, and book you.
