Fable 5 is back.

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

You can spend weeks designing a solid architecture, building reliable AI workflows, and refining the user experience, only to find yourself waiting on external approvals before users can experience the product.

Infrastructure Delay ???

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

36 people have tested YapShop since it went live last Monday 🚀

Honestly, users will always show you things you never thought about.

Currently working through feedback, improving workflows, and refining the experience.

#YapShop is still at the early stage.

An AI sales rep that lives inside WhatsApp.
Browse. Order. Track. All without leaving the app.

Just yapping...

But Anticipate #Yapshop

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

I just finished the MVP of one of the hardest things I've ever built.

Anticipate #Yapshop . An AI-powered assistant for African businesses.

#Yapshop will be launched on Monday

@GoogleAI I think Agentic AI Era, is Magic Era... Google Gemini released something cool...

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

Your WhatsApp has been a salesperson this whole time. You just hadn't unlocked it.

What if every customer conversation could:
Answer questions
Recommend products
Create orders
Escalate to a human when needed

That's what I built with YapShop

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

Previously, i showed the screenshots.

Today, here's the workflow.

Customer needs a human → AI escalates → admin takes over → issue resolved → AI resumes.

I built an AI that knows when to stop being an AI.

That's the demo 👇

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

Weeks ago, this was just a WhatsApp AI agent.

Today it has:
AI conversations
Human handoffs
Products & inventory
Orders
Customer management
Admin dashboard

Meet #YapShop.

Slowly turning a chatbot into a commerce operating system

Seeing this for the first time?
I'm Chris, a software engineer pivoting deep into AI engineering, currently building a WhatsApp AI commerce system designed specifically for how African SMEs operate.

The best part of this build hasn't been posted yet. Follow along 👀

This is what 75% done looks like. And it's already working.

Here's what's already running:
✅ Full product catalogue with search and media
✅ Variants and inventory management
✅ Cart operations
✅ WhatsApp AI agent for both customers and staff
✅ Human handoff & switch modes.

Farza just did some magic here. This is amazing 💯

[Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸 @FarzaTV]

Watch me control my computer with just my voice. This is the future of operating systems.

No hands.

GPT-Realtime 2.0 is very, very underrated.

The smartest AI agents aren’t the ones that talk the most.

They’re the ones that know when a human should step in.

I’m currently building this human handoff layer into a WhatsApp AI commerce system for SMEs.

[Emperor Chris | Applied AI Engineer @emperors_code]

Customer needed a human.

The AI knew exactly when to step aside.

- Customer requests human support
- Business owner takes over the chat
- Issue gets resolved
- Customer is handed back to the AI seamlessly

This is not talked about enough. EXPOSURE

[Andrew. @just_andydev]

If you're in tech in Nigeria, exposure is very important.

Nigeria is not the USA. You can't create something in your garage, and it goes global.

You most speak out and defeat imposter syndrome.
