Whatsapp AI chatbot.

I didnt do this before, but since Whatsapp Has an API. I think you would be able to do it.

Integrate OpenAI with Whatsapp API, and you are almost done.

@admin Do I need to use services like Zapier or Make to integrate everything?

Hello Paulo, there are 2 ways you can do that. Using Zapier and without Zapier. Here are both examples simplified:

Integration with WhatsApp API and OpenAI API:

• To create a WhatsApp chatbot, you would need to use the WhatsApp Business API or unofficial WhatsApp API libraries, depending on your use case.
• To generate responses, you can integrate the OpenAI API, which is capable of generating natural language responses based on input.
• You would need to set up a server or a cloud function that listens to incoming messages on WhatsApp and processes them. When a message arrives, your code sends it to the OpenAI API for generating a response and then sends the generated response back to the user via WhatsApp.

Automation Services like Zapier

• You can use these services to create a basic chatbot that responds to incoming messages on WhatsApp without directly integrating with WhatsApp's API.
• You can use predefined triggers and actions to automate responses based on incoming messages.

@phpower1 it depends on how you are willing to create the bot, you mean without coding?

@admin I believe that opting for a coding-free approach would be best at this point since I lack expertise in coding and publishing Python projects.

@phpower1 mmm, now we need details on what features you are looking for exactly, is it a SAAS service?

or just for you? 

Do you want to build this ChatBot using third parties? or you wanna develop your own with no-code tools?

@admin I am planning to offer a service through WhatsApp and charge a monthly fee for it. The main objective of the service is to provide assistance to users by using a bot that will act as a specialist in any given niche. To achieve this, I will need to feed the bot with data. I am considering using Voiceflow or Botpress to develop the bots. Does this idea make sense?

so users will subscribe, and they will be able to ask questions in specific niche?

how would the answers defer from ChatGPT?

are you going to train the language model on certain data or info?

I mean what is the value the user will get when he subscribes?

@phpower1 will it be different from ManyChat and how? Be careful of the rules for contacting a user; you can quickly be identified as a SPAM bot if you don't limit the contact to the user.

@ssadvisor These considerations, such as usage, responsibilities, limitations, and legal aspects, come after creation. Here we are discussing how to build things, so we should focus our answers on that topic. @phpower1, what did you decide to do in the end?

@techprieto what makes you an authority on it? I've used ManyChat and I'm very familiar with the restrictions. Your wrong about not taking these into consideration as it impacts development of the tools and the backend API.

@ssadvisor I don't want to get into controversies with you, that simply isn't the point. He's asking if it can be done, and obviously before launching he'll have to look into the legal side, but we're not lawyers here, we're creators, so we help others create.

@techprieto I think @ssadvisor means that when you create a "messaging" app, you should consider the "Spam" rules

this is because it will affect how you create and build the app.

in the first place, if it is illegal, you will not stop building! and think about another Idea.

and if it is legal, but there are some rules to follow, then you will need to implement these rules in your app, maybe adding "delays", adding "IP rotation", or maybe some rate limiting.

@admin exactly 💯.
