Poli Digital alternative: Andavor’s proprietary AI, trained for sales, guides each conversation
Andavor puts an AI attendant in your store, with proprietary AI trained for sales: it understands what the customer wants, uses your store’s knowledge and guides the conversation based on what each person needs, on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and your website chat. In Andavor’s app, by subscription, you follow the conversations, teach the AI and adjust what it does. Poli Digital, according to its own website, is a customer service and sales platform for WhatsApp, with several team members, a chatbot, a CRM and artificial intelligence.

What Andavor’s AI does
Every conversation takes a different path: some customers want to buy, others want to understand, compare or solve a problem. Andavor’s AI is its own and trained for sales: it considers the context of each interaction, from a simple question to a buying decision, and follows the rules your store sets. In the conversation with your customer, it:
- Understands what the customer wrote and asks when information is missing.
- Follows the conversation: the chosen product, the ZIP code and the payment method stay organized, and the customer doesn’t have to repeat what they already said.
- Checks price and stock in your catalog before answering: no figure is written off the top of its head.
- On WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, builds the order with the items, shipping and total; once your shipping tool is integrated, it quotes real shipping by ZIP code.
- Shares the installments and payment discounts you set in Accepted payments.
- It builds the order and sends your store’s checkout link. Once your payment provider is integrated, it creates the charge in your own account, and the money goes straight to you. A payment below the total doesn’t complete the order.
- In the website chat, it answers questions with your real catalog and takes the customer to your store’s checkout.
- Answers during the hours you choose, which can be all day, including nights and weekends.
In Andavor’s app, by subscription, you follow and adjust everything, in your computer’s or phone’s browser:
- Follow conversations and orders, and see what the AI checked for each answer: price, shipping, order status.
- Teach the AI under Teach your AI (Ensinar sua IA): it reads your store’s website, documents and images and builds a list of what it learned; you check off what’s right, and nothing reaches customers before you approve it.
- Take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook (Assumir conversa), and the AI stays quiet in it until you hand it back (Devolver para a IA).
- Ask your attendant, in an open conversation, where an answer came from; when you tell it what’s right, it proposes the fix where that information lives, and nothing changes until you apply it.
- Choose which channels it answers on, at what hours, and who it never answers.
It doesn’t make things up: price, stock and shipping come from a lookup in the system. When it passes the conversation to your team is up to you, in the Instructions.
Andavor and Poli Digital side by side
| Criterion | Andavor | Poli Digital |
|---|---|---|
| The AI that answers | Yes: its own AI, trained for sales, that talks without a script, remembers what the customer already said and follows your store’s rules. | The AI Agent answers text and audio, learns from the company’s material, guides the conversation through the funnel stages and hands it to the right salesperson, set up by Poli’s team. For team members, the AI suggests replies, summarizes conversations and transcribes audio. |
| Price and stock | Checks your catalog before answering, with no figure off the top of its head: in a WooCommerce store, products come from the website; on other platforms, from the app’s Catalog. | The team member sends products from the Poli Pay catalog, with price and stock quantity. |
| Order in the conversation | The AI builds the order with the items, shipping and total on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook; in the website chat, it takes the customer to your store’s checkout. | In Poli Pay, the team member builds the cart in the chat and sends it with the payment link. |
| Shipping | Once your shipping tool is integrated, the AI quotes real shipping by the customer’s ZIP code. | In the Poli Pay cart, the team member enters the address and the shipping amount under Delivery data. |
| Charge in your own account | Once your payment provider is integrated, it creates the charge in your own account; the money goes straight to you, and a payment below the total doesn’t complete the order. | Poli Pay creates the payment link for bank slip (boleto) or credit card, through the store’s own account with one of two payment providers it integrates. |
| Building flows | Not needed: you connect your channels and catalog and tell it how your store sells; a new rule is a text you change. | Poli’s bot is a visual flow of triggers, validations and actions, which you build on the platform; the AI Agent is set up by Poli’s team. |
| Channels | WhatsApp (official from Meta or by QR code), Instagram, Facebook (Messenger) and the website chat, on every plan; the website chat answers with your real catalog and takes the customer to your store’s checkout. | WhatsApp (Meta’s official API or QR code, through Z-API), Instagram, Messenger and website chat, with VoIP calls. |
| Team and CRM | You take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, get the ones the AI passes to your team as waiting for you (Precisa de você) and follow conversations and orders in the app. | Several team members on the same number, with chat distribution, and Poli Flow, a CRM with conversations on a kanban board. |
| Starting price | $20.00/month on Personal, with WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat; the plan includes a monthly AI usage limit. | R$369.90 (Brazilian reais) a month on the Entrada plan, with 3 users and 250 credits, plus setup from R$1,197.90. |
| How to start and free trial | Directly on the website, with no setup fee and no long-term contract; Personal comes with 14 days free, and nothing is charged during the trial. | Sign-up on the website, a 7-day free trial with no credit card and a demo; the contract lasts 12 months. |

When Andavor makes more sense
- When you want an AI of its own, trained for sales, on infrastructure operated by Andavor.
- In a clothing store, when “do you have it in M?” and “do you have it in another color?” need an answer with the stock of each product version, and “how much is shipping?” needs a quote by the customer’s ZIP code, once your shipping tool is integrated.
- In a phone store, when “do you have the 256 GB?” and “how many installments?” need the price and stock of each version and the installments you set.
- In a furniture store, when “will it fit in my living room?” needs the dimensions in the product description, and shipping needs a quote by ZIP code with the package weight and dimensions, once your shipping tool is integrated.
- In a building supply store, when the order has several items and the customer wants to know the stock, the price and whether you deliver to the job site.
- When the customer compares products, changes their mind, asks several questions, goes back to an earlier topic or needs guidance: the AI understands what they write and guides the conversation.
- When sales come in at night or on weekends: the AI answers during the hours you choose, including when the store is closed, and the sale doesn’t have to wait until the next morning.
- When the conversation needs to end in a paid order, with the charge in your own account once your payment provider is integrated, and the money going straight to you.
- When your store runs on WooCommerce: you connect the store, and the AI uses your site’s products, variations, stock and orders.
- When customers reach you on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and your website, and you want the same AI on all four from the first plan, with every conversation in one dashboard.
- When you want to sign up directly on the website, with no setup fee and no long-term contract, and start with Personal’s 14 days free.
- When yours is a niche store with a high average order value, and customers already ask questions by message: that’s where it works best.
- When your team is small and nobody has time to build bots, draw flows or write code: you connect your channels and catalog, tell it how your store sells and approve what the AI learned.
- When you want to know where each answer came from: every answer keeps a record of what was checked to produce it, such as price, shipping and order status.
At a niche store that uses Andavor, 194 of the 431 paid orders in September 2026 (45.0%) were closed with the AI, and 82 of those 194 were paid outside business hours. It’s a single store, with no comparison group: the case study explains how we measured.
If your operation has at least five team members and needs to organize the flow of messages, Poli, according to its FAQ, makes sense for that.
What each one costs
At Andavor, the price is per plan, per month: Personal costs $20.00, Essential $110.00 and MAX $210.00, and they differ in the AI usage included. With setup help and direct support, Business Essential costs $190.00 and Business MAX $290.00; Enterprise is priced together with you.
Every plan includes WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and the website chat, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. Personal starts with 14 days free: the card goes in at sign-up, and nothing is charged during the trial. When a month needs more AI usage, you buy usage credits.
Your customers pay at your store’s checkout or, once your payment provider is integrated, into your own account, and your sales revenue goes straight to you: Andavor doesn’t receive it.
On Poli’s plans page (in Portuguese), checked on October 28, 2026 and updated in August 2026, plans are priced by number of users, in Brazilian reais a month: Entrada, R$369.90, with 3 users and 250 credits; Inicial, R$849.90, with 7 and 1,000; Expansão, R$1,399.90, with 12 and 1,000; and Ilimitado, on request, with unlimited users and 1,500 credits. Setup starts, at list price, at R$1,197.90, and the contract lasts 12 months. Credits go to features that depend on outside services, such as the official WhatsApp API, according to the help center. The AI Agent page shows no price.
In both, on official WhatsApp, Meta charges WhatsApp’s fees separately, and free allowances follow its rules (Meta’s pricing page). The math is in What AI costs.
How to start without dropping what you use
- Create your account at Create account and choose Personal: it comes with 14 days free, and nothing is charged during the trial.
- Start with a channel where no bot or AI agent answers today. If your website has no chat, Andavor’s goes in with the plugin on WordPress and WooCommerce or with a line of code on other platforms.
- On WhatsApp, keep one AI per number: two answering the same customer trip over each other. Turn Andavor on for a number where no bot or AI agent answers.
- Bring in your catalog and tell it how your store sells: in a WooCommerce store, products come from the website; on other platforms, you add them in the app’s Catalog. Integrate your payment provider to charge and your shipping tool to quote shipping.
- Before turning the attendant on for WhatsApp, chat with it as if you were a customer: only you see that conversation, and no real order or charge happens.
- Turn the attendant on and follow the conversations in the app. You can take over any conversation on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, pause a channel whenever you want and cancel in the dashboard at any time.
That way, the trial doesn’t touch the channels your team already handles today.
Where the Poli Digital information comes from
- From Poli: website, plans, AI Agent, FAQ, Poli Pay, free trial and terms of use.
- From its help center: sign-up and trial, AI, chatbot, Poli Pay, website chat, channels, WhatsApp by QR code, integrations, API and credits.
All of them were checked on October 28, 2026, and they’re in Portuguese. Prices and features change: check the official pages before deciding. Poli Digital has no ties to Andavor.
