AI-Assisted Templates & Broadcast

Reduced a 5-7 step manual process into a guided AI-assisted workflow, significantly improving speed and usability for non-technical users

Context

Zoko enables businesses to send WhatsApp broadcasts using Meta-approved templates.

However, creating templates and sending campaigns required multiple steps, manual effort, and domain knowledge - making it difficult for non-expert users.

Key Problems

• Template creation was complex and slow  
• Users didn’t understand Meta’s template rules  
• High effort to create and personalize campaigns  
• Sending broadcasts required multiple manual steps  
• Low confidence in campaign setup  

Why This Matters

Broadcasts are one of the biggest revenue drivers on Zoko.

If users struggle to create and send campaigns, they fail to unlock the product’s core value.

Design Goal

Make campaign creation fast, guided, and accessible - even for non-expert users.

Solution Overview

Designed an AI-assisted workflow that simplifies template creation and broadcast execution into a guided, step-by-step experience.

AI-Assisted Template Creation

Users can generate templates using AI instead of writing from scratch.

This reduces effort and helps users create Meta-compliant messages quickly.



Flexible Template Builder

Provided a modular template system with support for media, buttons, and variables.

Users can customize messages while staying within platform constraints.



Simplified Broadcast Flow

Converted a complex workflow into a guided step-by-step flow.

Users can easily move from selecting broadcast type to sending campaigns.



Contact Selection at Scale

Introduced multiple ways to add contacts based on user scale:

• Manual selection  
• Copy-paste for small lists  
• File upload for large campaigns  



Personalization with Variables

Enabled dynamic variables to personalize messages at scale.

Users can preview how messages will appear before sending.



Campaign Review & Confidence Layer

Added a review step with:

• Message preview  
• Cost estimation  
• Test message via QR code  



Scheduling & Control

Users can send immediately or schedule campaigns for later.

This gives flexibility and control over campaign timing.



Key Design Decisions

• AI to reduce effort, not replace control  
• Step-by-step flow to simplify complexity  
• Multiple input methods for scalability  
• Strong preview and validation layers for confidence  
• Designed around real user workflows (small → large businesses)
