Can several AI agents share one WhatsApp number?
The supervisor spotted a reschedule request and routed it to the calendar agent
Yes. Customers write to one number, and the supervisor decides who answers: the sales agent, the support agent, the calendar agent, or a person.
The AI supervisor sits between your business WhatsApp number and your agents. It reads every incoming message, works out what the customer needs, and routes the conversation to the agent built for exactly that. If no agent fits, or the customer asks for a person, the chat goes to your team.
How the supervisor decides
Every agent gets a description of what it handles. The supervisor compares each message with those descriptions and routes the chat to the best match.

One chat, three handlers
Hi, I booked a treatment for Thursday and need to move it
No problem. I have Sunday at 09:30 or Tuesday at 16:00. Which works?
Tuesday. Also, why was I charged twice this month?
The supervisor routed the chat to the payments agent
I checked. There's a duplicate charge from the 3rd, and I've opened a refund request. Someone from accounts will approve it today.
Four ways to route
Choose a routing method for each number, and combine them where it helps.
- By understandingA language model reads the message and its context and picks the agent whose description fits best. This is the default.
- By keywordA word like "payment" or "cancel" sends the chat straight to the agent you assigned it to.
- By rulesConditions you define, such as existing customer versus new lead, decide who answers.
- By priorityAgents are ordered in a queue, and the first one that fits the conversation takes it.
You stay in control
- Human handoffWhen an agent can't close a chat, the supervisor escalates it. After the number of attempts you set, it goes to a person or a default agent.
- Escalation alertsThe people you choose are notified the moment a chat is escalated, with the context.
- Who gets an agentTurn the supervisor on only for contacts with certain tags, or exclude VIPs and specific contacts who should always reach a person.
- Closing idle chatsA chat that stops moving closes after a time you set, and an agent can run just before closing, for example to ask about satisfaction.
- Voice notes tooVoice messages are transcribed and routed like text, with an optional instant acknowledgment while transcription runs.
- Activity logEvery routing decision is logged, so you can always see why a chat reached a given agent.

Questions about the supervisor
How is an AI supervisor different from a regular WhatsApp bot?
A regular bot is one script with a button menu. The supervisor manages several agents, each holding a free-form conversation in its own area, and switches between them mid-chat when the topic changes.
How many agents can a supervisor manage?
As many as you need. Most businesses start with two or three, such as sales, support and calendar, and add more later.
Does the customer notice the switch between agents?
The conversation stays in the same chat on the same number. Context travels with it, so the customer never has to repeat themselves.
Can each number have its own supervisor?
Yes. Every WhatsApp number can have its own supervisor with its own agents. Multiple WhatsApp numbers
