Zaylon AI

Your AI sales team for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger

A conversational commerce platform I co-founded that replies to MENA customers in Egyptian Arabic, Franco, or English, and closes the order without ever leaving the chat.

The problem

MENA customers shop in chat, and chat never sleeps

In the Gulf and Egypt, customers open WhatsApp before they open a website. But generic chatbots fail at Egyptian Arabic and Franco, can't take payments, and push customers to an external checkout they abandon. The shops that do well pay humans to cover the inbox around the clock, and still lose conversations while they sleep.

How it works

From connected store to first sale in one afternoon

STEP 01

Connect

Link your Shopify, Salla, WooCommerce, Odoo, YouCan, or Zoho store and the messaging channels where your customers already are.

STEP 02

Configure

Set the tone, the policies, the payment gateways. The AI picks up your catalog automatically and learns your product details.

STEP 03

Launch

Go live in minutes. The AI handles customer questions in English, Egyptian Arabic, and Franco, and closes orders inside the chat.

STEP 04

Grow

Watch revenue attributed to chat. The dashboard shows what's working, what's converting, and where to nudge.

What it does

A full sales team, packaged into a chat window

Zaylon isn't a chatbot. It's a product advisor, a support rep, and a cashier, coordinating so your customer never has to repeat themselves.

Product advisor

Answers spec questions, shows variants, recommends what pairs with what, and remembers the customer&apos;s preferences between conversations.

Dialect-aware replies

Replies in the customer&apos;s own dialect, whether they wrote in English, Egyptian Arabic, or Franco-Arabic. Voice notes too.

Visual search

A customer sends a photo of the product they want. Zaylon matches it against your catalog and offers the closest in-stock items.

Cart and checkout

Builds the cart, collects shipping details, charges the card, and drops a tracking number, all inside the same conversation.

Every MENA payment

Stripe for cards, Paymob and Fawry for MENA, mobile wallets, cash on delivery. The customer picks what they trust.

Human handover

When a conversation needs a human, it escalates cleanly with full context. Your team takes over without the customer noticing.

Built for MENA

Three dialects, one conversation

Egyptian customers rarely write in Modern Standard Arabic. They mix dialect, Franco-Arabic, and English, sometimes all in one sentence. Zaylon picks up the dominant language in every turn and replies in the same register.

English

Hi, is the M size back in stock?

Egyptian Arabic

السلام عليكم، مقاس الميديوم متوفر؟

Franco-Arabic

salam, el medium raga3 el stock?

Human assigned

Unified inbox

WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, and web chat in one view, with human takeover and canned replies.

Revenue attribution

See exactly what chat contributes to revenue, by channel, campaign, customer segment, and agent action.

Proactive suggestions

The platform watches for patterns and suggests the right nudge at the right time, queued for your approval.

Why it matters

Four outcomes, measured on day one

Lower cost per conversation

One platform replaces a shift of human agents on low-intent messages, and assists them on high-intent ones.

More capacity, no hiring

Handle 10x the inbound volume without 10x the headcount. Scale campaigns without scaling the inbox team.

Replies in seconds

First-reply latency under five seconds on every channel, at every hour, in every dialect your customers write in.

Learn as you go

Every conversation becomes data. See what customers actually ask, what converts, and what to fix in the catalog.

My role

Co-founder and backend engineering lead

I co-founded Zaylon and built the entire backend end to end. I designed the conversational architecture, shipped the multi-agent AI system, wrote the FastAPI application and its database layer, and own every integration: the six e-commerce platforms, the three payment providers, the five messaging channels, and the shipping partners.
