Why messaging works

## Reach participants on the phone they already have.

Messaging reaches people where they already are, including where data is expensive, email is rare, and computers are out of reach.

- ### Any phone, any network WhatsApp, SMS, voice, or web. No app to install, no laptop, no password.
- ### In their language Participants write in 30+ languages, and the agent answers in theirs.
- ### In their own words People describe what they need the way they talk, and the agent takes it into account.

What participants see

## Real local openings, in their language, whenever they ask.

One number they can save. Here's what a participant sees when your program enrolls them, when they ask for openings, and when they prepare for an interview.

1. ### Enrolled by your program The first message names your organization, so participants know who it's from.
2. ### Openings in their language Participants ask in their own language and get openings near home, with pay and a link to apply.
3. ### Interview practice on demand Participants rehearse real questions for a real role, with feedback after every answer.

What program staff see

## Know who's struggling before they drop out.

Program officers see who has gone quiet after training, keeps missing interviews, or hasn't started looking, with the reason, and can message them in one tap.

- Who is stuck, and why, in plain language
- Follow-up that doesn't depend on a field visit
- Every placement recorded as it happens

What donors see

## Donor-ready outcomes, with the evidence behind every number.

Employment, retention, and cost per placement are recorded as they happen, in one methodology across every country you run, and every figure traces back to the participants behind it.

- Employment, retention, and cost per placement
- Open any number to see the participants behind it
- One methodology across every country

Where Metaintro fits

## Count the jobs, not the trainings.

Spreadsheets count who finished a course and job fairs happen a few times a year. Neither follows a participant to a job, and that's the gap Metaintro fills.

Questions

## What development programs ask us.

**Does this work where data infrastructure is limited?**

Yes. Participants use WhatsApp, SMS, or voice on any phone, and the same methodology and metrics apply in every country.

**How does donor reporting work?**

Employment, retention, and cost per placement are recorded as they happen. Choose the date range and export, and we configure your donor's format during onboarding.

**Which languages are supported?**

Participants can write in more than 30 languages, and the agent replies in the language they use.

**Can we compare outcomes across countries?**

Yes. Every program uses one participant and outcome model, so results are comparable from a single view.

**How long does deployment take?**

A program-level deployment takes about four weeks. National implementations with custom integrations take longer, and we scope them with you.

**What does pricing look like?**

Per-participant pricing for programs and custom licensing for national deployments, flexible to development budget cycles.
