Chatbase bot as a step within Chatarmin flows. Handover between bot and human agent for complex cases. You define in the flow builder when the bot steps in and when a human takes over.

AI Product Advice

Bot answers product questions based on your shop data.

Chatarmin has its own AI chatbot. Chatbase is the option for teams preferring a custom-trained model. Especially strong for advice-heavy products like supplements, wine, or cosmetics.

What Can the Chatbase WhatsApp Integration Do?

Chatbase is a GPT-based AI chatbot builder. You train a bot on your own data (PDFs, FAQs, website, product catalog) and deploy it in WhatsApp via Chatarmin. The key differentiator: you bring your own AI model. Your own OpenAI API or a custom Chatbase-trained model.

The Chatbase bot is embedded as a step within Chatarmin flows. Customer asks a question, the bot answers with trained data. For complex cases, handoff to a human agent occurs. This is an important differentiator for teams that want full control over their AI model.

Your Own AI Model in WhatsApp

Chatarmin has its own AI chatbot. For most e-commerce brands, that is sufficient. Chatbase is the option for teams that prefer a custom-trained model with full control.

When is this relevant?

  • Advice-heavy products: Supplements, wine, cosmetics, technical products. The bot is trained on your product catalog and gives well-founded recommendations.
  • Extensive FAQ databases: The bot answers standard questions automatically. Complex cases get handed to human agents.
  • Own OpenAI API: You already use a GPT model with your own API. Chatarmin integrates it directly into WhatsApp flows.
  • Specific training data: PDFs, internal documents, product databases. The Chatbase bot learns from exactly the sources you specify.

The Chatarmin sales team puts it this way: "You can bring your own AI model." That is the core of this integration.

Who Benefits?

The Chatbase integration is built for teams that already have a Chatbase bot or want to deploy their own GPT model in WhatsApp. Typical profile: advice-heavy products, complex product catalogs, or an existing AI model that should become available in WhatsApp.

For teams without a specialized AI model, Chatarmin's own AI chatbot is often the simpler choice. Chatbase is the option for maximum control over the model and training data.

Chatbase Standalone vs. Chatarmin

Chatbase alone does not have a native WhatsApp integration via the official WhatsApp Business API. You can embed a Chatbase bot on your website, but not use it within WhatsApp marketing flows. Chatarmin brings your Chatbase bot to WhatsApp: WhatsApp integration, flow embedding, marketing campaigns, and GDPR-compliant servers in Germany.

Chatarmin extends Chatbase with the WhatsApp channel. Chatbase provides the AI. Chatarmin provides the WhatsApp infrastructure.

What Does the Chatbase WhatsApp Integration Cost?

11 cents per message sounds expensive. 11 cents is the official Meta fee for marketing messages in Germany, while Austria and Switzerland pay roughly 5 cents (as of 2026). WhatsApp messages generate 2 to 3x higher revenue per recipient than emails. Assuming you generate 1 EUR revenue per recipient via email, WhatsApp will land around 2.50 EUR. After subtracting the 11-cent Meta fee, you still have 139% higher net margin per contact than email.

Additionally, you pay your Chatbase/OpenAI costs separately. Chatarmin does not charge an additional fee for the Chatbase integration.
