What happened

Meta reported that more than a million companies use Meta Business Agent at WhatsApp and Messenger.

What changes

The AI goes into channels where customers already exist, rather than demand that everyone learn a new interface.

Why it matters

Attention and sales can start to share context but also increases the risk of inconsistent responses if catalogue, policies or CRM are not connected.

Implications for businesses

WhatsApp's already common in Mexico. The immediate opportunity is to automate repetitive questions and capture data without losing a clear path to a person.

One Rhino’s take

The best agent isn't the best speaker. He's the best agent who knows how to solve, how to ask and how to escalate.
