Company profile
researched Aug 2026treble.ai is a software company that provides businesses with a platform built on the WhatsApp Business API for marketing campaigns, sales workflows and customer support. The product lets teams build automated chat flows with a drag-and-drop, no-code builder, deploy AI agents to handle inbound messages, hand conversations off to live human agents in a shared inbox, and send segmented bulk broadcasts to defined audiences with result tracking. Additional features described on the company site include WhatsApp Forms, audio messages, voice calls, click-to-WhatsApp ads, website WhatsApp buttons, QR codes and links, catalogs, automated lead qualification and real-time analytics.
AI functionality spans both automated workflows (the "Builder") and human-assisted interactions: answering frequently asked questions from an uploaded knowledge base, qualifying leads by detecting intent, drafting repetitive replies via "Treble Boost," summarizing prior conversations, and monitoring service quality. The platform captures customer questions and intent from WhatsApp chats and feeds them into CRM systems; it integrates natively with HubSpot and Salesforce and connects to other systems, including custom internal tools and Google Sheets, through the Treble API.
The company states it is an official Meta WhatsApp Business Solution Provider (BSP) and was among the first partners when the program launched in 2019, describing itself as one of Meta's first official partners in LATAM. Support is offered in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
