Waniwani
Also known as: WaniWani
AI distribution platform: an open source SDK and hosted platform for MCP apps that quote, book and capture leads inside ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, with synthetic buyer testing, analytics and compliance monitoring.
Waniwani is an AI distribution platform: it helps companies show up, convert and get measured inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, where buyers now ask for products.
The core is an open source SDK (MIT) for MCP funnels. createFlow turns a typed state graph with branching, interrupts, validation and resumable state into a single MCP tool, so an app can walk a buyer through a quote, a booking, a signup or lead capture without leaving the chat.
The hosted platform adds a flow state store, a knowledge base the customer ingests and searches with embeddings, an embeddable chat widget for the customer's own site, and analytics down to individual sessions with full tool call logs.
Paid modules monitor and improve the live app: synthetic buyers test how each AI platform presents the product, with regression tests on every model update; compliance monitoring checks mandatory disclosures, legal text and advice boundaries across jurisdictions; and revenue tools simulate demand and tune funnels and messaging. Waniwani can also build and submit the app for a customer. Its first customers were insurers and other quote based financial services firms, and it serves regulated and high consideration industries. Each organization's data lives in the EU or US region chosen at setup, service account keys carry chosen scopes, and the company states SOC 2 Type II certification.
Waniwani raised an eight million dollar seed round led by Seedcamp in June 2026.

Deployment options
Integrations
The open source SDK compiles a customer's tools, flows and widgets into an MCP server that runs inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and the customer's own site through an embeddable chat widget; flows and endpoints call the customer's own services (quote engines, calendars, CRM or webhook handoff), and an Email module sends mail per conversation. Waniwani's own MCP server, CLI, API keys and service accounts operate the platform.
In practice
An insurer builds a quote funnel with createFlow that asks the right questions in ChatGPT, validates each answer and hands off a quote estimate
A growth team sends synthetic buyers through ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini after each model update to see whether its product is still recommended and priced correctly
A lender grounds its AI app in its own product documentation through the knowledge base and keeps EU customer data in the EU region

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
Documented custom tool support that acts in outside systems. The SDK compiles the customer's tools, flows and widgets into an MCP server; flow nodes and api/ endpoints call the customer's own services (quote engines, booking calendars, lead handoff to a CRM or webhook), and the Email module sends email from a tool or flow node with one call, logged per conversation.

|
| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
A documented workflow model. createFlow builds a typed state graph (Zod typed state, named nodes, direct and conditional edges, interrupts, widget signals) that compiles to one MCP tool, with deterministic step order, validation and re-ask on failure, auto skip of filled fields, and state that resumes across tool calls. The docs place it against LangGraph as a funnel shaped graph. SourceWaniwani, docs.waniwani.ai llms-full.txt (Flows, Waniwani vs LangGraph) and llms.txtread 2026-09-25 |
|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Full |
|
A maintained retrieval structure over the customer's own content. The Knowledge Base ingests the customer's markdown (with metadata), stores it in Waniwani's hosted KB service, and searches it with embeddings; the distribution template registers a search tool on top of it, with configurable not found and refusal text for regulated corpora. The homepage describes natural language answers sourced from the customer's documentation.

|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Partial |
|
Guardrails and gates, with no person approving an agent action. Compliance Monitoring runs real time checks on mandatory disclosures, legal text and advice boundaries, with per jurisdiction rules and gate enforcement for multi step quoting and escalation workflows; the knowledge base search lets a regulated app name the human to go to when nothing matches. A flow interrupt asks the buyer a question, not a reviewer. SourceWaniwani, the homepage (Compliance Monitoring) and docs.waniwani.ai llms-full.txt (Flows, App config); waniwani.airead 2026-09-25 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
Access controls and a compliance posture are both published. Access surface: organization roles and membership, OAuth scopes checked server side on every API call, and admin issued service account keys with chosen read and write scopes per area and a separate toggle for destructive operations, revocable at once. Compliance posture: the site's llms.txt states SOC 2 Type II Certified, alongside GDPR compliance, with no contradicting first party statement.

|
| Observability & Auditability | Full |
|
Run level visibility. AI App Analytics lets a team drill into individual sessions with full tool call logs, alongside funnel volume, conversion, lead capture and drop off per platform; the SDK's tracking sends typed events tied to a session id derived from MCP metadata, with external user ids attachable, and the Waniwani MCP server returns session breakdowns and analytics digests.

|
| Memory & State Persistence | Partial |
|
State inside one conversation's flow. The flow engine keeps state in a KV store keyed by the MCP session, hosted by Waniwani or self hosted through adapters, so a funnel resumes across tool calls without passing state through the model; the chat widget can keep thread history on the user's own device. That is state inside a single session; no memory the agent carries across sessions with a stated scope and lifetime is documented.

|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
A named region list with a selection surface. Waniwani runs two independent stacks, EU and US, each with its own database, dashboard and MCP server; the customer picks the region at organization creation and the organization's data never crosses to the other. The flow state store can also be self hosted through KV adapters, and the SDK is MIT licensed code the customer runs.

|
| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Partial |
|
Assets the customer assembles. The managed project template ships a ready made knowledge base search tool, and the docs give funnel recipes (sales, lead generation, booking, insurance and pricing quotes) and a Kit with widgets and flows to build from; none is a complete agent a buyer selects and runs as shipped.

|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Partial |
|
Several inbound channels, no documented autonomous wake. An app built on Waniwani is reached wherever a buyer asks: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and the customer's own website through the embeddable chat widget. Each is an assistant or a person invoking the app, which is channel breadth rather than an event, schedule or webhook starting work.

|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Not documented |
|
No model choice. An app built on Waniwani runs inside the buyer's assistant, so the host's model does the reasoning; being reachable from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini is not a choice of model. The chat widget talks to Waniwani's hosted chat backend with no model named or selectable. SourceWaniwani, docs.waniwani.ai llms-full.txt (Chat widget, What is Waniwani?)read 2026-09-25 |

| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
Outside callers drive the platform. Waniwani's own hosted MCP server publishes endpoints per region (mcp.waniwani.ai/mcp, eu.mcp.waniwani.ai/mcp), signs callers in with OAuth 2.1 and scopes, and offers four tools (whoami, set_active_org, search, execute), where execute runs typed platform operations that create environments and API keys. Alongside it: the MIT licensed SDK (the WaniWani-AI/kit repository is MIT), the platform CLI, API keys and scoped service account keys.

| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Full |
|
An evaluation loop on the customer's deployed app. Top of Funnel Monitoring sends synthetic buyers through every major AI platform the way real customers would, verifies disclosure accuracy, pricing and conversation quality per platform, runs regression tests on every model update and alerts on changes; Compliance Monitoring adds cross model consistency scoring; persona A/B testing is listed. The platform's scopes include creating, editing and running evaluations and reading evaluators and their results.

| Browser & Computer Use | Not documented |
|
No agent operates a browser or desktop. Widgets render inside the host assistant and the chat widget embeds in the customer's own site; that is the product appearing in an interface, not an agent navigating one. SourceWaniwani, docs.waniwani.ai llms-full.txt (Widgets, Chat widget)read 2026-09-25 |

Recent platform changes
Waniwani released its open-source SDK and command-line interface (CLI) to help developers build and manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The CLI allows teams to wire local repositories to a Waniwani agent and test against a hosted playground, while the SDK introduces server-side state persistence to avoid serializing data through the model on every turn.
