Built for African businesses

Run your business by talking to it

Set up your shop, one-pager business site, or full website with blog. Manage everything by chatting in plain language. No dashboard to learn, no code, no app to install.

Running a shop on WhatsApp works... until it doesn't

You're already selling in chat. Gulawo just gives you the parts that chat alone can't.

Lost orders in chat scrollback

Customers send 'I'll take the red one' and it drowns in a sea of voice notes and memes. You forget. They're annoyed. Sale lost.

Selling stock you don't have

You posted that dress three weeks ago. It's long gone. But customers keep asking, and you only realize after they've paid.

No way to see your own sales

Profit? You have a feeling. Best seller? You're guessing. You're running a business by scrolling through your own chat history.

Describe your business. Get your site. Run it by texting.

Shop, salon, restaurant, or service. This is how you build and manage it.

Gulawo, your shop manager

You

I sell dresses in Wandegeya. Blue and red, 35,000 each. I deliver in Kampala.

Gulawo

Got it. I've set up your shop page with a warm, modern look. Add photos anytime. Here's your link:

You

Mark the red dress sold out. And change the page to use a list instead of a grid.

Gulawo

I'll mark the red dress (35,000 UGX) as sold out, and switch your layout to list view. Confirm?

You

Yes, go ahead.

Gulawo

Done. Red dress is sold out. Your shop now shows items in a list. Anything else?
