Chambas AI: Connecting Workers with Jobs through Conversational AI in Latin America

AI is in its age of execution in Latin America, as Hi Ventures notes — and at Chambas AI, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this shift.

With WhatsApp being the most widely used messaging platform in the region, integrating conversational AI into this channel isn’t just innovative — it’s essential. Chambas AI exemplifies this transformation, embedding AI into a WhatsApp chatbot that connects blue collar candidates with real job opportunities.

We filter through hundreds of thousands of users to match the right candidate to the right job opening and enable them to schedule interviews directly in the app they already use daily.

We're part of a broader wave of AI adoption, with 85% of startups having AI embedded in their core product. In our case, AI powers a matching engine that takes into account verified work history, age, location, and desired job type to identify the best fit for both candidate and employer.

Recruiters can simply describe the type of worker they need, and our AI agent parses massive datasets to find and contact ideal candidates instantly. We also use AI agents to identify new potential clients, businesses with vacant positions that align with our candidate pool of 800k active users.

AI doesn’t just power our product, it powers our team. Like 99% of startups, we embed AI in our internal operations too: from automating marketing content to optimizing product decisions and streamlining customer support.

As of the publishing of this report, 26% of companies are partnering with AI solution providers. Chambas AI is proud to be part of this wave, helping to grow that number and drive adoption across the HR tech space. We're enabling companies to replace manual, inefficient hiring processes with smarter, faster solutions that address high turnover and streamline recruitment. By providing AI-powered tools that deliver measurable results, we’re shaping a future where hiring is easier, more efficient, and scalable.

This aligns closely with key AI trends identified in Hi Ventures’ report:

• Lower Latency and Cost
  Thanks to infrastructure optimizations and cloud-based deployment, we’re able to run real-time matching workflows at scale, critical for high-volume hiring environments.
• API Function Calling
  We use API function calling to trigger backend workflows like candidate matching and lead scoring, creating a seamless and efficient system for both job seekers and employers.
• Expanded Context Windows
  Our AI agents leverage context-rich interactions to support multi-step workflows — from screening candidates to booking interviews — all in natural language.
• Persistent Memory
  While early-stage, we’re exploring persistent memory features to retain candidate and recruiter preferences across sessions, laying the foundation for more personalized and autonomous interactions.

Our tech stack reflects our commitment to agile, cloud-native AI deployment. We use ChatGPT’s API, have our database in Google Cloud, and have models set up with Amazon Web Services. This hybrid infrastructure allows us to scale quickly, stay flexible, and adopt new capabilities as they emerge.

Finally, as the report emphasizes, collaboration between startups and regulatory bodies is essential for responsible AI development. We’re proud to be a 100% "Made in Mexico" company recognized by the Mexican government. Through formal agreements with the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Employment, we’re helping bridge the gap between opportunity and willingness to work, with technology at the center.

We’re excited to continue shaping this conversation and building technology that works for the people of Mexico, not around them. Our integration of AI is always with the foundational mission of connecting people and jobs, making the operational recruitment process better for candidates and employers.
