Our story

Built in Sao Paulo for how Brazilian teams communicate

We started Poli Digital after seeing sales teams lose leads in unanswered WhatsApp threads. Founded in 2025, our small team helps small teams manage customer messages in one inbox.

Why we began

The problem we set out to fix

Brazilian SMBs turn to messaging for sales and support. WhatsApp starts many sales conversations; Instagram DMs carry product questions. A 5-person team needs one place for both, without app switching or enterprise-level complexity.

Existing tools served large call centers or demanded technical setup small teams could not handle. We wanted a business owner to set things up in an afternoon, then hand it to a non-technical team the next morning.

What guides us

AI should help people, not replace them

Poli Digital's AI drafts replies, so your team has a starting point instead of a blank screen. The team reviews the draft, edits it when needed, and sends it. The aim is faster replies for small teams, without adding headcount.

We focus on one market, one use case, and one problem. That focus helps us make better software than trying to build for everyone.

Our method

Four principles we follow

Specific beats broad

We are building for small Brazilian sales and support teams, not every team everywhere. Knowing who we serve leads to better product decisions.

Quick setup, easy to use

A team should connect its first channel in 10 minutes, without documentation. If a non-technical user cannot use it on day one, we need to fix the product.

Direct access to customers

Customers have a direct line to Camila and the product team. We hear feedback in conversation, not through a ticketing system.

Clear on AI's limits

AI drafts can miss the mark. We say so, measure the edit rate, and share it with customers. The goal is better drafts over time, not claims of perfection today.
