AI customer service for Canadian businesses

Canadian customers message businesses in two languages, across six time zones, mostly through Instagram, Messenger and website chat. Replio answers all of it 24/7 from your own prices, policies and FAQs, in English or French depending on how the customer wrote to you.

English and French, without a bilingual team

This is the part most support tools make expensive. Replio detects the language of each incoming message and replies in it, so a customer who writes in French gets a French answer and a customer who writes in English gets an English one, from a single knowledge base that you only write once. There is no second set of answers to maintain, no separate French bot, and no need to staff a bilingual desk to cover evenings and weekends.

If your team replies in English but the customer wrote in French, Replio translates in both directions inside the inbox, so your agent works in the language they are comfortable in and the customer never sees the seam. See multilingual AI customer support for how that works across 50+ languages.

Six time zones, one agent

A customer in Vancouver messaging at 9pm Pacific is sending it at midnight in Toronto. For a business run out of Ontario that is either a night shift or an unanswered message until morning. Replio answers instantly either way, and it answers just as well on a statutory holiday as on a Tuesday afternoon.

Your customers DM, they rarely call

Seasonal demand without seasonal hiring

A lot of Canadian service work is seasonal: snow removal, HVAC, tire changeovers, landscaping, holiday retail. Demand does not build gradually, it arrives the week of the first storm. An AI agent absorbs that spike without a hiring cycle, answering every enquiry at once instead of forming a queue, and booking appointments against your real availability while the customer is still in the conversation.

What Replio does

It answers from your prices, policies and FAQs; logs every complaint; captures and qualifies leads; takes bookings; reads photos, screenshots and receipts; and lets any team member take over a conversation from a shared live inbox. Replies stay on-brand because they come from knowledge you control, not from the open internet.

Built on official platform APIs

Replio is a verified Meta Tech Provider, so Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp connect through Meta's official APIs rather than an unofficial workaround that can break or get a business account restricted. How conversation data is handled is set out on our security page.

Pricing

There is a free tier, a WhatsApp-only plan at $70/month, and full multi-channel plans at $150/month (Starter), $300/month (Pro) and $450/month (Business), with Enterprise for larger teams. Plans are priced in US dollars. Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial and no card is required to begin. Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and website chat carry no per-message fee; on WhatsApp you connect your own number and pay Meta's per-message rates directly, with no markup from Replio.

Get started

Paste your website or upload a price list, connect Instagram, Messenger or your website widget, and read the first few conversations to check the tone in both languages. Most businesses are live the same afternoon, with no code and no developer.

Frequently asked questions

Does Replio reply in French?
Yes. Replio detects the language of each incoming message and replies in it, so a customer who writes in French receives a French answer automatically. You write your knowledge base once and it serves both languages, with no separate French bot to configure or maintain.
Do I need WhatsApp to use Replio in Canada?
No. WhatsApp is not the default messaging channel in Canada, and Replio works on Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and your website chat widget without it. WhatsApp is available if you want it, which is useful if you serve customers abroad or a community that prefers it.
Can my team take over a conversation?
Yes. Every conversation across every channel lands in a shared live inbox where any team member can take over mid-thread. The AI steps back as soon as a person replies, and if your agent and the customer write in different languages, Replio translates between them inside the thread.
Does it handle customers across different time zones?
Yes, because it does not work in shifts. A message from Vancouver at 9pm Pacific gets the same instant, accurate answer as one from Halifax at 9am Atlantic, including overnight, at weekends and on statutory holidays.
How much does it cost?
There is a free tier, a WhatsApp-only plan at $70/month, and full multi-channel plans from $150/month (Starter) through $300/month (Pro) and $450/month (Business), with Enterprise available. Plans are priced in US dollars and every plan starts with a free 14-day trial, with no card required to begin.
