AI-powered customer conversation platform for B2C messaging at scale
Bring WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, email and web chat into one shared inbox so no customer thread gets lost between apps.
AI agents qualify leads, answer routine questions, route to the right teammate and follow up automatically when conversations go quiet.
Track tags, custom fields, lead status and lifecycle stage per contact, and move deals through a pipeline without a separate CRM.
Reach thousands of customers with one message, and capture new leads directly from social ads and website links.
AI builds the schedule. Your team gets a text. No app required.
Describe your week in plain English and Timely generates a full schedule respecting availability, roles and your custom rules, then lets you fine-tune with drag and drop.
Publish a schedule and every employee receives it by SMS automatically — no downloads, no logins, with open rates around 98% as the site claims.
Set max hours, required rest between shifts, minimum staffing or 'always have a keyholder on' and Timely warns or blocks the save before a bad shift is published.
A live payroll preview updates as you build, showing regular hours, overtime and estimated gross wages so you catch overtime mid-week rather than on payday.
