Motion is a WhatsApp Assistant that lets users book rides, order food, send parcels, and buy groceries—all through one simple chat. Instead of juggling multiple apps, users simply chat, choose, and confirm.
Most on-demand service platforms struggle with:
- App fatigue (too many apps for simple tasks)
- High mobile data usage
- Poor onboarding and drop-offs
- Low repeat engagement
Motion solves this by turning WhatsApp into a super app.
- Zero app install required
- Works on any smartphone
- Fast, chat-based UX
- High engagement and completion rates
- Reduced mobile engineering cost
- Easy expansion into new services
- WhatsApp Cloud API integration
- Menu-driven + natural language interaction
- Ride booking flow
- Food ordering flow
- Parcel delivery flow
- Grocery shopping flow
- Conversation state management
- Idempotent message handling
- Stateless backend design
