SME automation built for humans, not enterprise budgets.

How it works

From manual to autonomous in three steps.

01

We automate your customer touchpoints

AI chatbots on WhatsApp, your website, and social media handle enquiries, capture leads, and book appointments — instantly, at any hour.

02

Workflows run in the background

Lead follow-ups, email sequences, CRM updates, and appointment reminders happen automatically — even during load shedding.

03

Your pipeline fills while you focus on closing

Qualified leads land in your CRM ready to close. No more lost enquiries, no more manual follow-up, no more missed revenue.

What clients say

Built for real SA businesses. Not unicorns.

"We were spending 3 hours a day manually responding to Instagram DMs. The AutomateIQ chatbot now handles 80% of enquiries out of business hours — while we sleep. First month we noticed the difference immediately."

"What I liked most was they didn't try to sell me a R50K/month enterprise package. They understood our budget and built something that actually pays for itself. First 3 months: recovered the setup cost and we're ahead."

"Load shedding used to kill our follow-up process entirely. Now our automation keeps running, our leads get reminded automatically, and our conversion rate went up without us lifting a finger during outages."

What we build

Four ways to automate your growth.

Each service is designed for real South African businesses — POPIA-compliant, load-shedding resilient, and built to pay for itself within 60 days.

AI Chatbots

WhatsApp + website bots that answer questions, capture leads, and book appointments 24/7. POPIA-compliant. Zero typing required.

R1,500–R3,000 setup

Workflow Automation

Connect your tools — CRM, email, Google Sheets, WhatsApp — so data flows automatically. No more manual copy-paste. No more missed follow-ups.

R2,000–R5,000 setup

Lead Generation Systems

Facebook, Instagram, and Google leads captured and qualified automatically — then routed into your CRM with a personalised follow-up ready to go.

R2,500–R5,000 setup

Content Automation

Short-form video content created and scheduled for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts using AI tools — without hiring a full content team.

R500–R2,000/month retainer
15% of SA SMEs currently use AI automation — leaving 85% as early-mover territory
20–40% productivity gains reported by businesses adopting AI (McKinsey 2024)
60% of SA workers regularly use generative AI — adoption rate exceeds many developed markets

The businesses winning in South Africa right now are the ones that automated yesterday.

Every hour you spend manually chasing leads, copying data between tools, or answering the same questions over WhatsApp — is an hour stolen from growing your business. AutomateIQ exists to get that time back, charge for the difference, and build something that runs with or without you.
