human-like message delivery - split responses
G
Gabriel Oliveira
Currently, the AI sends full messages all at once, which feels unnatural and robotic.
We’d like to add an option for “human-like message delivery” — where the AI simulates how real people type and send messages on WhatsApp.
The idea is for the AI to split its response into multiple short messages, sending each one with a small random delay (1–4 seconds) between them.
Example:
Message 1: Hey, how’s it going?
(2s later)
Message 2: I saw you reached out 👀
(3s later)
Message 3: Can I help you with something?
This creates a much more natural and engaging experience, especially in WhatsApp or SMS conversations.
From a technical perspective, this can be implemented by:
- Automatically splitting the AI’s response into chunks (based on punctuation or sentence length);
- Sending each chunk as a separate message;
- Adding a random delay between messages.
Ideally, this should be a toggle or setting under the assistant’s configuration:
“Enable human-like message delivery”

This would be great! Please help us with that. Is there any estimates when this will come out?

Gabriel Oliveira splitting of messages will be possible . but there wont be delay
these three messages will go at once .
if we keep time delay between messages things will get worse . which will be difficult for me to explain you technically .
So for now it will be split into multiple parts .

Hey this is in roadmap but not picked up yet
Can you please tell me 3 other platform which does this
It will really help us to push the feature stronger

Hey Abhishek — thanks!
Totally understand about the delay. Even without delays, the biggest UX win is simply sending the AI response as multiple separate messages (instead of one long block). That alone feels much more natural on WhatsApp/SMS.
A few platforms already follow this “multi-message conversational flow” approach:
- ManyChat
- Wati
- Yellow.ai
This would be a small change but a big improvement in perceived human-like experience.

Gabriel Oliveira I got it ., so what is the character limit for separation or it should be dynamic
G

Abhishek Kumar
I think most people use dynamic separation, using periods, commas, and paragraphs... I believe..
A
Abhishek Kumar
Gabriel Oliveira we will separate it by context or characters.
