Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Arabic AI chatbot platform?

Thikaa is the only chatbot platform in MENA that understands WhatsApp voice notes in every Arabic dialect (Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi, Iraqi), reads customer images, and replies in Arabic and English within the same conversation. It runs on frontier AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and is an official TikTok and Meta partner.

Is there a chatbot that understands Arabic-dialect voice notes?

Yes — Thikaa transcribes WhatsApp voice notes and replies instantly, with high accuracy on Gulf, Egyptian, and Levantine dialects, at no extra per-minute cost.

Does the bot work with Salla and WooCommerce stores?

Yes — one-click Salla integration from the Salla App Store, and WooCommerce via API keys. The bot automatically knows your products, prices, and order statuses, and sends order notifications on WhatsApp.

Do I need the official WhatsApp API to use the bot?

No — you can connect your existing WhatsApp number by QR code in two minutes with no paperwork. Messages on a QR-connected number are unlimited, with no per-message fee. The official WhatsApp Cloud API is also supported if you prefer it.

How much does an Arabic AI chatbot cost?

Thikaa plans start at $9.99/month (WhatsApp only) or $19.99/month for every channel, with a free 7-day trial (no card) and bot conversations included in the plan (5,000 to 40,000 a month) with no per-reply charge. You can also bring your own AI key (OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude).
