Meet the Markkët WhatsApp Bot

At Markkët, we like building tools that are genuinely useful. Not because they’re trendy, but because they help creators and communities spend less time fighting technology and more time doing what they love

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our new Markkët WhatsApp Bot

Message us on WhatsApp:+1 (518) 629-1830

The first little secret? Send the word “magic” and you’ll instantly receive a link to log into your Markkët account. No searching through bookmarks or emails, just type one word and you’re in

You can also ask the bot questions. It replies using an open-source language model through OpenRouter, giving you quick answers while keeping our infrastructure simple and affordable

AI, with a healthy dose of skepticism

We’ve been nerds for a long time. We’ve worked with machine learning, data science, and open-source software well before the current AI hype cycle

That doesn’t mean we believe every AI feature belongs in every product

Modern AI comes with real concerns: environmental costs, misinformation, privacy questions, and a growing tendency for people to rely on generated content instead of their own creativity

Still, millions of people already use AI to answer questions every day. Answering questions consumes only a tiny fraction of the energy required to train these massive models, so we felt it was reasonable to offer a simple assistant where it actually helps

Our philosophy is straightforward: use AI where it’s practical, not where it’s distracting

WhatsApp is where many of our users are already

Today the bot can answer questions and help you get into Markkët quickly

Soon, we’ll slowly and carefully add more features that let you interact with your storefront directly from WhatsApp. Think simple, practical tools that save time without adding unnecessary complexity like updating customer orders or drafting content

We’ll introduce new capabilities gradually as we test them with our community

Free, and hopefully staying that way

The WhatsApp bot is free to use

Our operating costs for these basic features are currently very low, so we expect to keep the simple functionality free for everyone

As always, we’ll see how things evolve, listen to feedback, and build responsibly

What you won’t find

One thing you probably won’t see us adding is AI image or AI video generation

There are already plenty of excellent services dedicated to that. We’d rather stay focused on helping creators run their communities and businesses than becoming yet another AI image generator

If you need stock photography, there are fantastic free resources available. In fact, Markkët already integrates searches from Unsplash and Pexels, making it easy to find high-quality, royalty-free images for your pages

And if you need to edit photos? Learning a simple image editor is a valuable skill that takes less time than many people think

Have fun and trust your own judgment

The bot is happy to answer practical questions, and it’ll even entertain the occasional silly conversation

But remember: it’s a tool, not an authority

Like any AI assistant, it can make mistakes. Use it to save time, spark ideas, or answer simple questions, but keep thinking for yourself

We’d love your feedback

Markkët has always been about community first

Every feature we build comes from conversations with our users, and this one is no different

Give the bot a try, tell us what works, tell us what doesn’t, and let us know what would make it more useful

Send “magic” to get started

Thanks for helping us build a better Markkët
