The customer who priced your kitchen already messaged another shop
A message lands at 9 p.m.: "Hi, I need a custom kitchen for a new apartment, can you quote it?" You're finishing an install, measuring on site, or already asleep. You reply the next morning at eleven. By then that customer has messaged three other shops, and the first one that answered seriously got the appointment.
In the custom kitchen and closet business you don't compete only on price or finishes. You compete on response time. A kitchen project runs into the tens of thousands of dollars, and the customer decides with three or four makers at once. Whoever answers first, with the right questions and a booked appointment, almost always closes.
At Catalizadora we build an AI agent on WhatsApp that answers those messages in seconds, around the clock, in your shop's voice. It isn't a menu bot. It has a real conversation, understands what the customer wants, and moves the sale forward.
Why customers slip away (and it's rarely the price)
When we look at how a kitchen maker loses customers, the same pattern shows up:
The lead arrives after hours
Most remodeling inquiries come in at night or on weekends, when the person is home staring at the space they want to change. Your shop is closed. The interest cools off.
The inquiry lands while you're on site
You install, measure, supervise. You don't live on your phone. A message that comes in mid-morning gets answered at six in the evening, and by then the customer has moved on with someone else.
Basic questions eat your time
"Do you make closets too?", "do you work in melamine or solid wood?", "how long does a kitchen take?" It's the same ten questions, every single day. Answering them one by one steals hours that should go into designing and selling.
The result: good leads that never turn into an appointment. Not because your work is bad, but because the first reply came too late.
What an AI agent on WhatsApp does for your shop
The agent we build lives in your business WhatsApp and works like your best salesperson, without a break:
- Replies in seconds, any hour. The customer writes at 11 p.m. and gets a serious answer right away, not a "we'll get back to you during business hours."
- Qualifies the project. It asks what a good salesperson would ask: project type (kitchen, closet, walk-in, custom piece), rough dimensions, preferred material, location, and timeline. You receive an organized lead, not a "hi."
- Books the visit or the video call. It connects to your calendar and locks in the appointment to measure or quote, which is where the sale really begins.
- Sends the payment link when it applies. Design deposit, install-date reservation: the agent sends the link and records the charge.
- Every conversation lands in your CRM. Nothing gets buried in WhatsApp threads. You have each prospect with their history, their material, and their stage.
It speaks in your shop's voice. If you work with a warm, craft-focused tone, that's how it answers. If you're more technical and handle large jobs, it adapts to that too.
The difference in numbers
Take a typical case. A shop gets 40 inquiries a month over WhatsApp. Answering by hand, you reply well to maybe half on time; the rest arrive late or go unanswered when the week gets busy.
| Situation | Without agent | With AI agent |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiries that get an immediate reply | ~50% | 100% |
| After-hours replies | Almost none | All of them |
| Leads qualified before they reach you | Few | All |
| Follow-up logged | In your head | In the CRM |
We don't promise a magic sales number: your close rate depends on your product and your pricing. What does change is that no customer with money and a project in hand goes unanswered. That's the leak we seal.
Yours, with no strings attached
One thing we want to be clear about: the code, the data, and the infrastructure are 100% yours. We don't rent you software or lock you into an endless monthly license. We build the system, hand it over, and it sits under your name. The operation runs on a pass-through cost for hosting and usage of roughly 200 to 400 dollars a month, with no margin on top from us.
We work with the MAGIA method: we map how you sell today, design the agent's architecture, generate it in your brand's voice, implement it on your WhatsApp, and leave it running on its own.
What's included and what it costs
- MAGIA Solo — 4,500 USD, delivered in 15 days. The WhatsApp agent that sells, with its CRM, ready for your shop. Ideal if you want to stop losing leads now.
- MAGIA Core — 15,000 USD. When you also want a site, content, and a fuller lead-generation operation.
- Forge — 20,000 USD, 12 weeks. To build something tailored for a larger business.
Stop answering late
If every week you feel customers slipping away because you couldn't reply in time, that's exactly the problem we solve. The agent answers for you, qualifies, and books while you're on site.

At Catalizadora we build the system that answers on time, so the next kitchen is closed by you and not by the shop that replied first.
