Issue #20 🤖 Turn Any WhatsApp Number into a 24/7 AI Bot

Workflow of the Week 🚀

Who Built It: Buildship

What It Does: This workflow lets you transform any WhatsApp number into a live AI chatbot — without Meta’s developer approval, Facebook Business verification, or sandbox limitations.

Using BuildShip, Claude, and the WhatsApp Sender API, you’ll create a 24/7 AI assistant that sends both text and image replies. All it takes is scanning a QR code to get started.

Where to Find It: 👉 Get the WhatsApp AI Bot Workflow

Why It’s Incredible: This is a serious shortcut to WhatsApp automation.

No business registration. No waiting for approvals. Just scan, link your spare number, and go live.

You’ll learn how to:

• Auto-reply to WhatsApp messages with Claude

• Send OpenAI-generated images with DALL·E

• Build custom workflow nodes using AI (no code required)

• Handle message parsing, session setup, and response chaining

If you’ve ever wanted to offer WhatsApp automation to clients or build your own bot-based product, this is a launchpad that skips the red tape.
