Revive Case study: Save a Playa

AI sales agent for WhatsApp

Revive sells inside the conversation and hands off to a person when it should. At Save a Playa it converts 19.2% of leads, against an industry 3 to 7%, and handles three in four conversations with no human involved.

The challenge 3 to 7%

is what a WhatsApp campaign converts in e-commerce. A beauty and personal care website converts 5.39% of its visitors.

Beat the industry’s conversion rate, and not by a little.

Save a Playa pays for every lead, and most of them ask one question, get one answer, and go quiet, because the team is busy answering the new ones.

The brief to Ozone was not a chatbot. Answer every conversation the moment it arrives, sell inside it instead of handing out a link, keep a human within reach, and go back to the leads that went quiet before they are lost for good. That became Revive.

Results

Nearly three times the top of the industry’s range.

Of leads went on to buy 19.2%

Against an industry 3 to 7%. Of the 2,232 leads who wrote in, 429 have bought.

Of leads who held a conversation bought 27.5%

A conversation is 2 or more messages from the lead.

Of quiet leads replied 21%

747 of 3,532 re-engagement messages, all time. 205 bought in the last 30 days.

Handled with no human involved 76%

The rest had one operator per shift step in.

What we built

Six things the platform does, each one measured on the live deployment.

Node.js and Express on the WhatsApp Business API and the store’s WooCommerce orders, with the Claude API doing the talking. One deployment per client, its own database, nothing shared.

Sells inside the conversation, on the Claude API.

Quotes prices, handles objections, reads a payment screenshot, and knows when to hand off to the operator on shift. Its instructions are a document the team edits, not code.

Brings back the leads that went quiet.

A lead who stopped replying gets a message written for them inside WhatsApp's 24-hour window, and pre-approved templates once it closes. Never overnight, never more than once a week, every send capped.

Lists every engaged lead who never bought.

Everyone who held a real conversation and has no order on record, by the week or month they arrived. Tick them and tag them in WATI in one action, or export the selection as a Meta custom audience.

Return on ad spend from real orders, per campaign and per creative.

The purchase webhook ties each order to its conversation, and the ad's opening message ties that conversation to the campaign. ROAS is what each campaign and creative cost against what its own leads actually paid.

A dashboard that prints its own caveats.

New leads, engagement, conversion by cohort, reply rate and sales by hour of day. Every figure comes with its definition, and the page ends with what the numbers can and cannot tell you.

A coach that proposes, a person who decides.

Once a week, the platform compares the conversations that ended in an order with the ones that did not, and writes a proposal to the agent's instructions. A human reviews it and applies what holds up.

See it on a real store first. Save a Playa: brand, WooCommerce store, 205,000+ orders, and the deployment every figure on this page comes from.
What it means for you

Hire the developer, and the platforms come with an open license.

In the agentic era e-commerce companies need a solution tailored to their own store to get ahead of the industry’s average metrics, not another tool with the same defaults as everyone else.

Getting started

Your engineer starts from a running platform, not a blank repository.

Your engineer operates as an extension of your team, tailoring any required functionality on the fly through their Slack rotation.

Week one

We integrate the WhatsApp Business API provider with your store's purchase webhook, upload your catalog and pricing, and run all necessary tests with the customer support team to ensure everything works as expected.

Week two

Sales scripts are drafted based on actual objections in a document your team can edit, rather than in code, and initial conversations take place under the constant supervision of an operator.

Week three onward

The engineer configures advanced functions to match specific requirements, incorporating self-learning through skill updates, the recovery of inactive leads, or the creation of bespoke drip campaigns for each potential client.

Questions

WhatsApp lead recovery, explained.

At Save a Playa, of the 2,232 leads who first wrote in between 19 August and 18 September 2026, 429 have bought since. It is measured by cohort, counting people rather than orders. It is one store’s result, dated, not a guarantee for yours.

In the agentic era, the industry average is the floor.

E-commerce companies need a solution tailored to their own store to get ahead of the industry’s average metrics, not another tool with the same defaults as everyone else.

Part time from $2,500 a month (80 hours, one platform of your choice) or full time at $3,900 (160 hours, all three platforms), on US time, month to month, no recruiting fees.
