Yes. Your team uses Kyrra on WhatsApp, on the phones they already have, with no new app to install. Kyrra is a chat of its own, next to your groups, and it turns work messages into records and follow-ups. Kyrra phones your customers or patients in their own language whenever someone on your team asks.

## Where does my team use Kyrra?

On WhatsApp. Everyone types, sends voice notes, photos and files to Kyrra, the same way they would to anyone else.

| Who | How they work with Kyrra |
|---|---|
| The owner | WhatsApp |
| Staff, karigars, masters, reception, doctors, nurses | WhatsApp |
| Customers and patients | Kyrra phones them when your team asks |

Starting takes a minute per person:

1. The owner adds them to the team.
2. They message Kyrra’s WhatsApp number from their own phone.

Their phone number is how Kyrra knows who they are. There is no password, no form and no training. After that, they send messages, voice notes and photos, in their own language, the same way they would in any chat.

## What does that mean for my customers and patients?

Your team talks to Kyrra. When reception or the accounts person wants to reach them, Kyrra can make the call:

- to confirm or remind them of a visit or a booking
- to check in after a job or a treatment
- to follow up on a missed visit or money owed

Kyrra calls only when someone on your team asks, and only after one tap to approve. It calls in the person’s own language, between 10 am and 9 pm, and tells your team what was said. More in [can Kyrra phone my customers or patients?](/guides/ai-phone-calls-to-customers/)

## Do we have to stop using our WhatsApp groups?

No. Most businesses keep their WhatsApp groups for quick talk and family chat. The change is where work updates go. “Cutting done, 34 pieces” sent to Kyrra becomes an update on that order, and the right person hears about it. The same line in a group is gone after a few hundred messages. Read the full comparison in [Kyrra vs WhatsApp groups](/guides/kyrra-vs-whatsapp-groups/).

Your customers keep messaging your business the way they do today. Your team answers them as usual, and tells Kyrra what matters (“Mehta ji wants the order by Friday”) so it becomes part of the record.

## Is it safe to use Kyrra on WhatsApp?

Your team’s messages to Kyrra travel through WhatsApp, like any WhatsApp chat. What matters more is who sees your records on Kyrra: only the people you add to your team, and the Kyrra team when they need to fix a problem. Read [is my business’s data safe with Kyrra?](/guides/is-my-data-safe/)

By their phone number. The owner adds each person to the team, and Kyrra knows them by the number they message from. A number typed into a message or a forwarded contact is never accepted, so nobody can pretend to be someone else.

By phone, in their own language, when someone on your team asks, for example to confirm a visit or follow up on money owed. Your team hears what was said.
