## What Sambad is
- A shared team inbox. Every customer conversation from every connected account lands in one list with an owner, internal notes, labels, quick replies and a full history. Web app at app.sambad.io and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
- An integration hub. From any conversation, a team can create a Blanxer order, update a CRM deal, record and verify a payment, dispatch to a courier, or book a hotel room.
- Optional AI automation. Sambad AI answers from the business's own knowledge base in English or Nepali, and hands the chat to a person when it can't help.

## Channels
WhatsApp (official Business API via Meta's Cloud API; several numbers; message templates; WhatsApp Groups), Instagram (DMs, story mentions and replies, shared posts), Facebook Messenger, Gmail, Outlook (Microsoft 365), Zoho Mail. Each connected account counts as one channel on a plan.

## What Sambad is NOT
- Not a broadcast / bulk-messaging tool. It has no campaign sender.
- Not a TikTok inbox. TikTok is not a supported channel.
- Not an AI that approves payments. Sambad AI pre-checks payment screenshots; a person approves.
- Not a website chat widget product (no widget is offered today).

## Facts to state carefully
- WhatsApp's first connection needs a desktop browser (Meta's signup).
- Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp allow free-form replies for 24 hours after the customer's last message; after that, WhatsApp needs an approved template.
- PMS screens are on the web dashboard only; the mobile app handles the conversations.
