More than a chatbot
A business-trained AI assistant that helps SMEs get more sales, reduce staff workload, reply faster, save cost, and support customers 24/7 without forcing owners to understand AI jargon.
Prepared by AI Team • Management Proposal • Confidential
ALPSeq AI Assistant is positioned as a 24/7 business assistant trained on each company’s own knowledge to automate customer engagement, sales enquiries, operational support, lead capture, and human handover across website, WhatsApp, and Telegram channels.
Executive snapshot
This proposal packages the current AI chatbot system into a market-facing SME product with clear positioning, launch pricing, trial conversion, commercial controls, and a realistic recurring revenue path.
A business-trained AI assistant that helps SMEs get more sales, reduce staff workload, reply faster, save cost, and support customers 24/7 without forcing owners to understand AI jargon.
Initial focus is SMEs and professional organisations that need a simple way to automate website enquiries, WhatsApp engagement, lead capture, and internal knowledge support.
Launch creates adoption. Boost drives majority conversion. Max expands into multi-branch, advanced analytics, integrations, and dedicated support.
SME buying logic
The GTM message should be simple: the assistant helps SMEs capture more leads, increase revenue, reduce workload, reply faster, and continue serving customers after business hours.
Every website, WhatsApp, or Telegram enquiry can be captured, organised, and escalated to staff when the conversation becomes sales-ready.
AI answers repetitive questions from company documents, product catalogues, pricing notes, FAQs, HR policies, and SOPs.
Customers get answers even outside office hours, while staff can take over important enquiries when human attention is needed.
Sales, support, operations, HR, and onboarding teams can use the assistant as an internal knowledge helper.
The product allows businesses to handle more customer conversations without increasing manpower at the same pace.
Product positioning
The product should not be sold as “just another WhatsApp chatbot”. The stronger category is an AI business assistant for customer engagement, sales support, operations, and internal productivity.
External customer engagement
The assistant can automate sales enquiries, product/service questions, lead capture, promotional enquiries, customer support, and post-sales engagement. High-value or complex conversations can be escalated to human staff.
Current system foundation
The existing system can be presented as a SaaS operating layer where every company manages its AI assistant, knowledge base, channels, conversations, leads, and subscription plan.
High-level flow
The management story is simple: the assistant answers customer questions, captures lead details, stores conversations, and alerts staff when the prospect needs human attention.
Demo theatre
Record a short screen demo showing the website widget, a customer question, an AI answer using company knowledge, lead capture, and the inbox/history view.
System screenshots
The presentation includes placeholder images. Replace each PNG with your real screenshot using the same filename and the page will update automatically.
Packages and pricing
Recommended public pricing is Launch RM199, Boost RM499, and Max RM899 per month. Launch Day pricing gives the first 200 SMEs a low-friction entry while preserving normal pricing as the long-term value anchor.
Feature mapping
RM500 = +5,000 replies. When a customer exceeds quota, the system should suggest an upgrade or reply top-up.
Team access is bundled by plan, then expanded through paid internal staff accounts.
Replies from both AI and human SME staff count toward the monthly quota. Unused quota does not carry forward.
Launch and GTM strategy
The launch campaign should create urgency without training the market to expect “cheap forever” pricing. Customers experience Boost-level value first, then convert before the trial ends.
First 200 SMEs only: RM10 setup/onboarding fee, 1-month free Boost trial, 12-month price lock after trial, and extra 3,000 AI replies/month for 12 months.
RM100 one-time setup fee, 1-month free Boost trial, 4-month price lock, and extra 1,000 AI replies/month for 4 months.
Show enquiries handled, leads captured, response time reduced, estimated staff hours saved, after-hours enquiries answered, and missed enquiries prevented.
Protect trust by not auto-charging free-trial users. Instead, send conversion reminders through dashboard, email, and WhatsApp at 15, 7, and 1 day before expiry.
Recurring revenue engine
Revenue accumulates as customers convert and renew. The simulator below uses normal monthly pricing by default and allows management to test customer mix, launch discount impact, additional users, and reply top-ups.

Accumulation curve
Use this chart to explain why recurring revenue becomes powerful: every retained customer adds to the base while add-ons and upgrades lift the average revenue per customer.
Commercial policy
The commercial policy should be simple enough for SMEs to understand while protecting predictable revenue, cash flow, and upgrade behaviour.
No refund. Upgrades activate immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect next billing cycle. Cancellations end at the current billing cycle.
Offer 10–15% discount for 12 months and 20–30% discount for 24 months to encourage longer commitment and stable cash flow.
Full refund only within the 10-calendar-day grace period for first subscriptions. After that, no cash refund; remaining value can become credits subject to approval.
Setup fees, additional users, consumed reply top-ups, third-party charges, custom work, and WhatsApp/Meta charges are non-refundable.
Upgrade fairness calculator
Use this simple calculator to explain why upgrades feel fair: customer pays only the difference for the remaining unused period.
Competitive positioning
Competitors are often framed as WhatsApp chatbots, omnichannel inboxes, or CRM messaging tools. Our strongest message is a business-trained AI assistant for sales, support, and operations.
Delivery Gantt chart
This management view connects what has already been delivered from April 2026 to 18 May 2026 with the next two-week sprint: payment gateway, signup-to-invoice automation, messenger integrations, and stronger admin management tools.
Product foundation is already available for management demo and launch packaging.
Telegram is successfully integrated; WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger are planned next.
The chart separates completed work from the upcoming two-week delivery sprint.
Payment, invoices, subscriptions, and admin controls are the next launch-critical workstream.
Implement checkout, payment confirmation, webhook handling, receipt/invoice alignment, and activation after successful payment.
Complete WhatsApp readiness and plan WeChat, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger, while Telegram remains the proven integrated channel.
Connect onboarding/signup to automatic invoice creation, subscription record creation, and customer account activation.
Add management controls for customers, subscriptions, payments, channel status, usage, support, and launch monitoring.
Risks and management controls
Make Meta charges transparent. Customer should understand WhatsApp/Meta charges are billed separately or passed through.
No auto-renewal for free trial users. Use reminders and dashboard value summaries to convert ethically.
Automate proration, no-refund downgrade rules, non-refundable add-ons, and annual credit handling.
Differentiate support SLAs by plan so high-touch support is reserved for Boost and Max customers.
Management decision
The opportunity is to convert the existing AI chatbot system into a commercially packaged SME product with strong differentiation, launch urgency, recurring revenue, and expansion potential.
Sell as a 24/7 AI Business Assistant trained on company knowledge, not a generic chatbot.
Normal: RM199 / RM499 / RM899. Launch Day: RM99 / RM249 / RM499 for the first 200 SMEs.
Free Boost trial, launch scarcity, impact dashboard, conversion reminders, and no trial auto-renewal.
Build toward RM100K+ monthly recurring revenue through Boost-led conversion, Max upgrades, users, and AI reply top-ups.
