Customer Reply Drafter for Chat-Based SMEs (BM/EN/ZH)
Paste a customer's message and get a polite reply in their language, built from your saved FAQs, prices and policies, ready to copy into your chat app.
Economics
- Pricing example
- $10/month per business
- Daily math
- 60 businesses x $10/month = $600/month, about $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $600 / month at 60 subscribers
Audience and urgency
Audience: Malaysian and SEA small businesses that answer customers over WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook chat: bakeries, home services, tuition centres, small shops.
Urgency: Owners answer the same questions about prices, delivery areas and opening hours many times a day, often switching between Malay, English and Chinese. Replies late at night or in a rush come out short or inconsistent.
MVP scope
- ✓ Business knowledge base: FAQs, price list, delivery areas, opening hours, policies
- ✓ Paste a customer message; detect language (including mixed Malay-English) and draft a reply in the same language
- ✓ Replies use only knowledge-base facts; anything not covered is flagged 'needs your answer'
- ✓ Tone presets (friendly, formal) and a saved quick-reply library to paste into the chat app
- ✓ Stripe subscription
Omitted features
- - Do NOT connect to chat apps or automate sending (no unofficial APIs)
- - Do NOT promise prices, discounts or delivery dates not in the knowledge base
- - Do NOT store customer phone numbers

One-shot master prompt
Build a mobile-first "Reply Drafter" web app in React with Tailwind CSS, Supabase and a serverless LLM endpoint.
Core requirements:
1. Business setup (magic link): name, FAQs (question/answer pairs), price list, delivery areas, opening hours, policies, preferred sign-off, default tone.
2. Main screen: big paste box for the customer's message, then a draft reply in the detected language (Malay, English, Chinese or mixed) with a language override.
3. LLM prompt includes only the knowledge base; the JSON response returns {reply, usedFacts[], uncovered[]}. Uncovered questions are highlighted as "needs your answer" with a button to add the answer to the FAQ.
4. Copy-to-clipboard button and a quick-reply library (save good replies; export as text).
5. Stripe Billing ($10/month, 7-day trial). No chat-app integration; customer messages are not stored after drafting.Comparable products
