About Me
Achiya,Automation Consultant
I started building bots because I hated repetitive tasks. Today I build bots and automations that do in seconds what takes hours.
A bot that responds to customers on WhatsApp, automation that sends price quotes, an integration that transfers leads to your CRM — everything that makes you work on spreadsheets instead of your business.
Don't just take my word for it - here's what my clients say.
"Still copying data between systems? Something needs to change."

FAQ
Questions about WhatsApp bots & automation?
Everything clients asked me — with answers
A
Achiya Automation
online
How much does a WhatsApp bot cost?
WhatsApp bot pricing starts at $1,000 one-time. Basic bot (auto-replies, simple menus): $1,000. Business bot (CRM integration, appointment scheduling, lead capture): $2,000-$4,000. Enterprise bot (AI-powered, multi-channel, custom integrations): $5,000+. Monthly hosting and maintenance is additional. During our free consultation, I'll give you an exact quote based on your needs.
How is this different from Zapier/Make?
The key difference: zero per-task fees and unlimited workflows. With Zapier, 50 automations cost ~$400/month ($4,800/year). With my setup, the same 50 automations cost ~$50/month for server hosting ($600/year). That's a savings of $4,000-5,000 per year. Plus, your data stays on your own secure infrastructure — not on a third-party cloud. I handle all the setup, hosting, and maintenance so you get the cost savings without the technical complexity.
What is the n8n + Chatwoot + WAHA stack?
It's a powerful automation stack that replaces expensive tools like Zapier, Intercom, and official WhatsApp APIs. n8n handles workflow automation (like Zapier but unlimited), Chatwoot manages customer conversations (like Intercom), and WAHA connects to WhatsApp. You don't need to know any of this — I handle the entire setup, hosting, and ongoing maintenance. You just get the results.
WAHA vs official WhatsApp API — what's the difference?
The official WhatsApp Business API requires Meta approval, charges per-message fees (~$0.03-0.08 per message), and has strict template requirements. WAHA provides unlimited messages with no per-message fees, making it significantly more cost-effective for businesses with high message volume. However, the official API offers better deliverability guarantees and is required for certain use cases. I help you choose the right option based on your volume, budget, and compliance needs.
How long does it take to build?
Timeline depends on complexity: Basic bot (auto-replies, menus, simple integrations): 1-2 weeks. Advanced automation (CRM integration, multi-step workflows, appointment scheduling): 2-4 weeks. Enterprise projects (AI-powered, custom development, multiple integrations): 4-8 weeks. Every project starts with a free consultation where I map your needs and give you a realistic timeline.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes, I work with clients worldwide. Communication is via WhatsApp, Zoom, and email — timezone differences are not a problem. I'm based in Ashdod, Israel (IST/GMT+2) and have experience working with businesses across different time zones. All documentation and communication can be in English.
What about data privacy and GDPR?
Your data runs on secure, dedicated infrastructure — not shared cloud services. All communication is encrypted in transit and at rest. The setup is GDPR-friendly: your data stays on your own servers, you have full control over data retention and deletion, and there's no third-party access to your customer data. I can also help with specific compliance requirements for your industry.
What about training and ongoing support?
Every project includes hands-on training for your team so you can manage day-to-day operations confidently. You also get 30 days of free support after launch — including adjustments and fine-tuning based on real usage. After the free period: server maintenance plans start at $250/month (covers hosting, monitoring, updates, and priority support), or I'm available at $160/hour for ad-hoc requests and new features.
