24 alternatives to Pivots and millions later, I built a lambda to start WhatsApp chats
I've been working on my startup for years to no avail. Raised VC money and burned through millions - now built a simple service that lets you add a "chat to us" button (or can hook to your forms) to launch a WhatsApp chat. The key here is that the button can open chats with different WhatsApp numbers based on rules you can set. These rules can be based on the website visitor's geography, language, time spent on your site or even your business's office hours. Can also hook onto existing forms and use form fields in the rules too. Try it out on our site by clicking the chat to us button and…
Compose.im is a service that adds WhatsApp chat buttons to websites and forms. It routes conversations to different WhatsApp numbers based on customizable rules, such as visitor location, language, time spent on site… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Pivots and millions later, I built a lambda to start WhatsApp chats launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hey Hacker News, I’m excited to share a tiny service that’s very close to my heart - Today Has Been. Here’s how it works: We have a phone number that has WhatsApp Business API enabled. Your messages sent to this number (after you activate your free trial) are added to your journal. It’s a super light weight journaling service - no app download or registration is required. We also send you a daily nudge asking “How did your day go?” and after you have a few posts we send you a random blast from the past. Why I built it: I was an active user and fan of Ohlife - only journalling app that could…

Hi HN – I built an open-source, self-hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for WhatsApp: https://github.com/lharries/whatsapp-mcp It connects to your personal WhatsApp account via the WhatsApp Web multi-device API (using whatsmeow from the Beeper team), and doesn't rely on third-party APIs. All messages are stored locally in SQLite. Nothing is sent to the cloud unless you explicitly allow your LLM to access the data via tools – so you maintain full control and privacy. The MCP server can: - Search your messages, contacts, and groups - Send WhatsApp messages to…

Hello HN! I've been thinking about the idea of a LLM thats a clone of me - instead of generating replies to be a helpful assistant, it generates replies that are exactly like mine. The concept's appeared in fiction numerous times (the talking paintings in Harry Potter that mimic the person painted, the clones in The Prestige), and I think with LLMs, there might actually be a possibility of us doing something like this! I've just released a fork of the facebookresearch/llama-recipes which allows you to fine-tune a Llama model on your personal WhatsApp conversations. This adaptation can…

A few months ago, WhatsApp released a calling API. I’d been experimenting with conversational interfaces for a while, and it seemed like a good chance to build something that could let businesses create voice-based agents without much setup. I’ve been working on this over the past few months, and the beta is now publicly available. The idea is simple: you point the platform to your website URL, and it automatically configures a voice + messaging agent that customers can call or message. No code required. My expectation is that many businesses will eventually offer some form of conversational…
