Need a plumber? A shisanyama? A salon that's open right now? Scowt is a recommendation engine on WhatsApp — ask in your own words and get a real business near you. We're opening early access: get a 30-second demo, tell us what you'd search for, and shape what Scowt builds in your area.
Scowt is a recommendation engine that lives entirely on WhatsApp. Ask in your own words, in your own language, and get a real local business — never a made-up answer, never a wall of search results.
Message Scowt like you'd message a friend. "Who does hair in Joburg?" "Any food deals tonight?" "I need a plumber."
Scowt sends a real local business that offers exactly that — with what they're known for, their contact, their page, and any live specials.
One tap opens a WhatsApp chat straight with the business. No app to download, no forms, no waiting on hold. Free for you, always.
When someone nearby asks for what you offer, Scowt recommends you — with your best items, your photo, and a one-tap line straight to your WhatsApp. You manage everything by chatting to Scowt. No dashboard, no admin.
The home of the braai — flame-grilled meat, proper traditional pots, sharing platters and a full bar. Dine in, takeaway, or book upstairs for functions.
Scowt is a local recommendation engine that lives on WhatsApp. You ask for anything — a service, a restaurant, a shop — and Scowt recommends a real business near you that offers exactly that, along with any live specials.
For people searching, Scowt is free — always. Businesses join on a simple subscription — WhatsApp "business" to 068 922 1487 and we'll walk you through it, including the founding-member offer.
Scowt is live and growing suburb by suburb. During early access you get the full experience with the businesses already on board — and where we don't have a match yet, your ask is noted and you'll hear the moment a matching business joins. Every search shapes where Scowt builds next.
Yes. Scowt only ever recommends registered businesses on the platform, using details those businesses provided and approved themselves. If there's no match for your ask, Scowt says so honestly — it never invents a business.
WhatsApp the word "business" to 068 922 1487. Signup takes about a minute — your name, suburb, and email. Then Scowt interviews you and writes your listing with you, right in the chat. No app, no dashboard, no paperwork.
Describe a special in the chat, or just send a photo of your flyer, and Scowt turns it into a live deal that reaches people searching nearby. You can end a deal anytime by asking.
The first 20 businesses join free for 3 months, then continue on the plan they choose. Founding members are live and being recommended from day one.
Early access is open. Get the demo, tell us what you'd search for, and be first in line as Scowt grows in your suburb.
