Whippy

What Whippy does

Whippy is an AI-powered omnichannel communication and automation platform that unifies SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and email into a single team inbox and layers purpose-built AI agents on top for recruiting, reception, sales, and support workflows. The platform architecture comprises core communication modules (Team Inbox, Campaigns, Automations, Sequences) augmented by Voice AI, VoIP business phone system, Landline Texting, mobile apps, and a Chrome extension that embeds workflow inside ATS/CRM/web environments. Its primary vertical is staffing and recruiting, where the AI Recruiter autonomously screens applicants in 50+ languages, verifies job-specific requirements, scores candidates, and writes structured screening data, transcripts, and skill tags back to ATS systems such as Bullhorn, Avionté Bold, TempWorks, and Crelate. The company also serves healthcare, pharmacy, real estate, legal, and home services buyers with HIPAA-aligned and TCPA-compliant workflows.

The business model combines a sales-led, demo-first go-to-market aimed at mid-market and enterprise staffing firms with self-serve SaaS surfaces for SMBs. Pricing is hybrid: VoIP per-seat subscriptions start at $30/user/month; Voice AI agent subscriptions start at $500/month; the AI Recruiter uses outcome-based pricing tied to successful screenings rather than call volume or placement counts (cited by Link Staffing at roughly $2 per completed interview versus ~$40 manually). Additional recurring streams include landline texting enablement, omnichannel campaigns, review/NPS collection, and AI-driven sales support. Customers include Yes (Your Employment Solutions), Staffworks, CCS Construction Staffing, Link Staffing, Snelling, Elwood Staffing, StoneGate, Smart Care, Horizon Healthcare Staffing, Bath Fitter, Beverly Hills Concierge Doctor, Marcus & Millichap, and CSS.

Operational disclosures indicate material customer-scale usage: Staffworks processes approximately 1,000 inbound applicants per week on a 160,000-candidate database, Link Staffing runs 2,500+ interviews per month versus 125 historically, and CCS Construction Staffing completed 2,000+ screenings per month with Whippy AI. The company is privately held, US-domained (whippy.ai) with no public revenue or funding figures disclosed, holds SOC 2 Type II certification, and lists David Daneshgar as Co-founder. It has accumulated 2024 third-party validation including G2 High Performer, Best Results, Easiest Admin, and Winter 2024 awards, plus Software Advice Front Runners and GetApp Category Leader recognition.
