Comparisons
Link in bio tools stop at the click. Marketplaces rent you a shelf and keep the customer. Kilat is the all-in-one creator automation platform: on PRO, AI answers Instagram and WhatsApp messages, qualifies leads, follows up and sends the payment link, so nothing leaks out of the funnel.
01
ClickContent and links bring people in. Every tool is the same up to here.
02
ChatPrice, stock, schedule. This is where leads leak when nobody answers.
03
CloseQualify, follow up and a payment link inside the same chat.
The conversation engine
Four steps Kilat runs on Instagram and WhatsApp (Indonesia and Singapore numbers), automatically, without you sitting in the inbox. This is part of PRO.
ReplyThe AI agent answers a new message automatically, at any hour.
QualifyIt asks about need and budget using a script you set, then picks out the serious leads.
Follow upLeads who go quiet get the follow-ups you schedule.
04
CloseA payment link is sent inside the chat, and the conversation is handed to you when a person is needed.
