Lesotho’s first Meta-approved WhatsApp AI assistant

In Maseru, Leribe, Mafeteng and everywhere in between, customers WhatsApp first. Client Engine Reply answers them in Sesotho or English, quotes your prices, and books them in, even when you are busy or asleep.

By Sizo Gugushe, founder of Futnor · Updated 26 September 2026

Lumela! It answers the way Basotho text

Lumela, ke batla ho booka gel nails ka Saturday. Ke bokae?

Lumela! Gel nails ke R350. Saturday ka 10am ho sa na le sebaka — nka u booka?

Bala ka Sesotho. Customers in Lesotho switch between Sesotho and English in the same sentence. The assistant follows them. Your prices, address and rules stay exactly as you wrote them, in every language.

Approved by Meta

Client Engine Reply is the first WhatsApp AI assistant in Lesotho to be approved by Meta. Meta, the company behind WhatsApp, reviewed and approved the app. It connects through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, and Futnor's own WhatsApp Business account is verified by Meta with a High quality rating.

That matters because unofficial WhatsApp bots, the kind that copy WhatsApp Web, can get a business number banned. An approved, official connection keeps your number and your customers safe.

Made by a Mosotho founder

Client Engine Reply is built by Sizo Gugushe, a Mosotho entrepreneur who co-founded Fooddrop LS at 19. It works the same in Lesotho as it does in South Africa, and help is one WhatsApp away.

What it does for your business

Answers every message in seconds, day and night, on the WhatsApp Business number you already use.
Quotes only your real prices. If something is not on your list, it asks you instead of guessing.
Books appointments into your Google Calendar, only at times you are free.
Understands voice notes, so customers do not have to type.
Checks proof of payment screenshots against your own account details and tells you if something looks wrong.
Follows up once, politely, when someone asks a price and goes quiet.
Passes you the chat for complaints, refunds or anything unusual.

Prices are in South African rand, which is legal tender in Lesotho alongside the loti. There is a free-forever plan for about 30 customers a month, and paid plans start at R750 a month. No setup fee, no contract. See the full pricing guide.

Who uses it
