Zoko solves this by seamlessly integrating WhatsApp commerce capabilities with your existing Shopify infrastructure.\r\n\r\nTHE UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY THAT'S COSTING YOU SALES\r\nConsider this: 175 million people message businesses on WhatsApp daily - that's more engagement than Amazon generates.

Starting with their own ecommerce business entirely on WhatsApp, they scaled to 200,000 engaged followers who eagerly purchased products through weekly WhatsApp updates. When other businesses began paying for access to their \"WhatsApp sales tools,\" they knew they'd discovered something revolutionary.\r\n\r\nTHE $50 BILLION MARKET OPPORTUNITY\r\nThe WhatsApp commerce market represents over $50 billion annually - a massive revenue stream that traditional ecommerce platforms can't access.

Zendesk and a hundred other horizontal companies solved it.\r\n\r\nBucket 2: Hard stuff. $20,000 industrial heaters. HVAC systems. CNC machines. Car parts.

Three years into the LLM era, penetration in this industry is very low & the reason is twofold.\r\n\r\nFirst, off-the-shelf models don't actually understand these products. The knowledge lives in 48-page technical manuals buried on some manufacturer's website in terrible formatting — wiring schematics, compatibility matrices, installation diagrams that can only make sense visually.

It doesn't have the spatial understanding or the product-specific reasoning to be a real technical advisor.

No way for a company to offload tribal knowledge from their senior technicians into a system. No way to see what questions customers are actually asking and feed that back into the knowledge base. No generative multimodal presentation and no expressive voice support.\r\n\r\nProx is building the best technical product expert for extremely complicated physical products.\r\n\r\nA multimodal agent that can draw wiring schemes, share CAD models, process incoming videos from a technician in the field, and support people over the phone with voice that can pass the Turing test.
