WhatsApp assistant

At The Sixty One (61 FZCO) I built a WhatsApp bot on the WhatsApp Cloud API and OpenAI that sends product updates and answers FAQs. It reaches 1,000+ recipients daily at a 78% open rate, and it cut manual support work by 60%.

01 · The brief

Updates and answers, in the app people already read

At The Sixty One (61 FZCO) I built a WhatsApp bot that sends product updates to recipients and answers frequently asked questions automatically. Routine messages no longer have to be written one by one.

02 · How it works

Two services, one bot

The bot sits between two services:

  • WhatsApp Cloud API sends and receives the messages.
  • OpenAI writes the replies.

Product updates go out to recipients, and FAQs are answered as they come in.
