Q: Strategic Question for Lancepilot AI Chatbot Timeline

Hi istiakahmad,

I've been leveraging Lancepilot's unified inbox and campaign scheduling features with great success for my business. I noticed conflicting information regarding the AI chatbot functionality - one thread mentions AI features coming in '8 weeks' source, while another response states 'ai chat has not been planned yet' source.

Could you provide a definitive update on:

1. The current development status of the AI chatbot
2. Specific automation capabilities we can expect
3. Whether these features will be included in the current AppSumo deal or require additional costs

As someone managing multiple client conversations daily, these features would significantly impact my decision to further invest in Lancepilot as our primary WhatsApp business solution.

Thank you for your time and the excellent product you've built so far!

A: Hi Vink,

Thanks a lot for your thoughtful question—and for using Lancepilot! Really appreciate your kind words and support.

First off, I’m sorry for the mixed signals regarding the AI chatbot timeline. Let me clarify everything for you:

Development Status:
We initially planned to start building the AI chatbot earlier. But we had to shift gears and focus on making our core features more stable and reliable—which we’ve done successfully now.
Then came strong user demand for the mobile app (now live on Android) and the white label billing system (currently in development). Once that’s done, the AI chatbot is next on our roadmap.

Estimated Timeline:
Realistically, it will take at least 2 more months to begin rolling out the AI chatbot.

Automation Capabilities:
While in-app automation will take some time, we’ve already started integrating with automation tools like Albato and Pabbly Connect. An official update will be shared publicly soon.

Pricing:
Features that require ongoing server costs (like advanced AI) may come as paid add-ons. But don’t worry—we're committed to keeping prices super reasonable. Our mission is to grow with agencies and help you succeed without breaking the bank.

Hope this clears things up! If you’ve got more questions or ideas, I’m just a message away. Thanks again for being part of our journey!
