AI AUTOMATION.
Automation that fits how Bangladeshi businesses actually run — customers messaging in Banglish on WhatsApp, invoices arriving as paper challans, and costs that have to make sense in taka. We build the narrow, boring automations that remove real hours, and we are direct about what does not work here.
WHAT WE BUILD.
AI ASSISTANTS
Answers your customers ask fifty times a week — price, stock, delivery time, location — handled automatically, in Bangla, Banglish, or English, against your real product and policy data.
From $1,500
- Bangla + Banglish
- Your own data
- Handover to human
WHATSAPP ORDER CAPTURE
Orders placed in a WhatsApp thread land in your inventory or POS — stock decremented, bKash/Nagad payment link sent, status updates fired on the official Cloud API.
From $2,200
- Official Cloud API
- Writes to your stock
- Payment links
DOCUMENT EXTRACTION
Supplier invoices, challans, and purchase orders read automatically into your system instead of typed by hand — with a review step for anything the model is unsure about.
From $4,700
- Invoice & challan
- Confidence review
- Feeds accounts
WORKFLOW AUTOMATION
The repetitive internal work: reorder alerts, daily report generation, data moving between two systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
From $3,200
- Process mapping first
- System integration
- Scheduled jobs
On running costs: every automation has a monthly bill beyond the build — AI model usage is charged in US dollars and scales with volume, and WhatsApp conversations are billed directly by Meta. It is usually modest, it is never zero, and we size it during scoping so you can decide before you commit. Most vendors leave this out of the quote.
Working with us from outside Bangladesh
International AI automation
Teams outside Bangladesh bring us the narrow automations that have to pay for themselves: assistants that answer against your real product and policy data, order capture on the official WhatsApp Cloud API, invoice and document extraction with a review step for anything the model is unsure about, and scheduled workflows between systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Every automation carries a monthly running cost beyond the build — model usage and messaging are billed in USD and scale with volume — and we size that during scoping so you can decide before you commit. If a job needs a human, or the underlying process needs fixing first, we say so rather than automate it.
Overlapping hours, stated plainly
We work from Dhaka on UTC+6. That is a 2–3 hour offset from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and 4 hours from eastern Australia — scheduled calls sit inside both working days without anyone taking a midnight meeting. UK and US sessions are booked into your morning, our evening.
Quoted and invoiced in USD
International projects are priced in USD against published ranges, not converted from a local rate at quote time. Typical band for this service: $1,500+. Scope drives the figure — branch count, integrations and data migration move it most.
You own what we build
Source code and database are yours on final payment, handed over to your own repository. NDAs are signed before technical scoping. We do not resell your build or retain a licence over it.

WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS IN BANGLADESH.
Most AI automation advice is written for businesses whose customers email in English, whose documents are already digital, and whose revenue is in dollars. None of that describes a Bangladeshi SMB. These are the constraints that decide whether an automation project works here — and the ones we design around from the first day.
Your customers write Banglish, not Bangla
Real messages look like "vai ei product ta ache?" or "dam koto?" — Bangla words in Roman letters, often mixed with English mid-sentence, heavily abbreviated. A bot demoed on clean Bangla script will collapse on your actual inbox. We test against your real message history before launch, because that is the only honest way to know whether it understands your customers.
Bangla handwriting is still hard
Printed Bangla and English invoices extract reliably. Handwritten Bangla — the challan pad, the delivery slip, the ledger page — is materially less accurate than the English equivalent, and any vendor promising otherwise is selling you a demo. Where accuracy matters we design a human review step for low-confidence extractions rather than pretending the problem does not exist.
The channel is WhatsApp, not email
Bangladeshi businesses do not run on email or web chat widgets. Orders, questions, and complaints arrive on WhatsApp and Messenger. Automation that lives on your website contact form will sit unused. Meet customers where they already are.
Your data is not ready yet
Automation needs something to read. If prices live in one person’s head, stock is a paper register, and orders are in a chat thread, the first project is not AI — it is getting that data into a system. We will tell you if that is where you actually are, because automating on top of nothing produces confident nonsense.
Costs are in dollars, revenue is in taka
AI model usage is billed in US dollars and scales with conversation volume. That is a real, recurring margin question for a business earning in taka. We size the monthly running cost during scoping and design to keep it predictable — a cheaper model for routine replies, the expensive one only where it earns its cost.
Start with one workflow, not a platform
The projects that succeed automate a single, painful, repetitive task — after-hours order capture, invoice data entry, order-status replies — prove the saving, then expand. The projects that fail start with "an AI system for the whole business". We will push you toward the narrow first version even though the big one is a bigger invoice.
Straight answers
WHAT WE WON'T BUILD.
AI is the easiest thing in the world to oversell. These are the jobs we turn down, and the reasons why — so you can judge the rest of this page knowing what we are not claiming.
Unsolicited message blasting
Bulk WhatsApp senders get your number permanently banned. We build on the official API or not at all.
Decisions that need a human
Complaints, refunds, medical or legal guidance, and price negotiation stay with your team. A bot that improvises on these costs you customers.
Automation on a broken process
If the underlying workflow does not work, automating it just produces bad outcomes faster. We will tell you to fix the process first.
Anything we cannot measure
If we cannot state what it saves in hours or taka, it is a demo, not a project. We would rather scope something smaller that pays for itself.
How we work
THE PROCESS.
Typical timeline: 3–5 weeks for a single-workflow automation, 6–10 weeks for a document processing pipeline. The date we commit to depends as much on how fast feedback and content come back as on how fast we build — we will be straight with you about that in scoping.
- 01
A real conversation first
We ask what your business actually does and where the work is going wrong — before talking about software. If what you need is smaller than what you asked for, this is where we say so. No charge, no obligation.
- 02
Written scope and a fixed quote
You get the scope in writing, with a fixed price where the requirements are clear, before any work starts. If something is genuinely unknowable up front, we say that too rather than burying it in an estimate that moves later.
- 03
Build in milestones you can see
Work ships in agreed stages, and at each one you get something working to click through — not a status update. That means you catch a misunderstanding in week two, when it is cheap, instead of at handover.
- 04
Handover, with the keys
Code, hosting, domain, and accounts go in your name. We train your team on the real system with your real data. You are never locked in — if you leave, everything is already yours.
- 05
Support after launch
Launch is when the real bugs appear. An agreed post-launch fix period is included in every project. After that, maintenance is a separate retainer with published pricing — not a surprise invoice.
Common questions
AI AUTOMATION FAQ.
[01]How much does AI automation cost in Bangladesh?
A rule-based FAQ or order-status bot starts around $1,500. An AI assistant that handles Bangla and Banglish against your own product or policy data typically runs $3,400–$6,900. Document and invoice data extraction starts around $4,700 and scales with document variety. Custom workflow automation is scoped after we map the process, usually from $3,200.
[02]Can a chatbot actually understand Bangla?
Bangla script is handled well by current models. The harder problem is that real customers rarely write in Bangla script — they write Banglish ("vai ei product ta ache?"), switch between Bangla and English mid-sentence, and abbreviate heavily. A bot tested only on clean Bangla will fail on day one. We test against real message logs from your own inbox before launch, which is the only way to know whether it works.
[03]What are the ongoing monthly costs?
This is the part most vendors leave out. Beyond the build, you pay for: AI model usage (billed in US dollars by the model provider, and it scales with conversation volume), WhatsApp conversation fees if you use the WhatsApp API (billed directly by Meta), and hosting. For a small business bot this is usually a modest monthly figure, but it is never zero and it grows with usage. We estimate it during scoping so you can decide before you commit, not after.
[04]What should we NOT automate?
Anything requiring judgement, empathy, or liability. Complaint resolution, refund decisions, medical or legal guidance, and final purchase negotiation should stay with a human. We also would not automate a process that is broken — automating a bad workflow just produces bad outcomes faster. Fix the process first, then automate it.
[05]Do we have to replace our existing software?
No. Automation usually sits on top of what you already run. If you have a POS, inventory system, or spreadsheets, we connect to them. Replacing working systems to enable automation is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
[06]How long does an automation project take?
A focused single-workflow automation (one bot, one process) typically takes 3–5 weeks. Document processing pipelines take longer — 6–10 weeks — because the accuracy work is in handling your real document variety, not in the initial build.
[07]How do we start?
Message us on WhatsApp (+880 1337 320 360) or use the contact form. We review your requirements, send a clear scope and quote, agree on terms, and start work — no long sales cycle.
