Are you building a startup over WhatsApp?
Probably one of the hottest platforms out there right now is WhatsApp. I personally built two startups (octopods.io and rasayel.io) on WhatsApp over the last 6 years β and I'd love to help folks building over WhatsApp, so go ahead and ask me anything!
I also wrote extensively about the WhatsApp landscape here:

Just leaving my 2 cents on WhatsApp Flows & Rasayel ππ«‘
So WhatsApp Flows is basically UI framework allowing the creation of app-like interfaces right within WhatsApp. (it is like Google Forms inside of WhatsApp)
So, why is this a big deal?
WhatsApp Flows basically gives you a way to have structured interactions between businesses and customers. Forget bots or freeform questions, if...

This is super and precisely what I was looking for β There is actually a lot of effort into this and it is just not just scratching the surface. Love it and am excited to see more data added to it.

WhatsApp all the way β Though this is mainly applicable in Messaging-first geos (LATAM, MENA, India, parts of SEA)
What's best for customer communication? WhatsApp, SMS, or email?

Hey there Product Hunt family! π
I'm Tarek, one-half of the founding duo behind Rasayel, and Iβm stoked to introduce Rasayel.io to you. Mohamed and I go way back, weβve been working + building together since our uni days, 15 years ago. This isnβt our first rodeo, but this time weβre all in, betting on #WhatsApp.
Ever reached that point with WhatsApp at your company where you're like, "Okay,...

Founders' journey is arduous and highly personal. I reflect on my last 4 years as a founder. AMA
Some real feels in this one π¬
I left my job at Intercom.com about 4 and a half years ago. It was a great place, I loved it.
Nearing the end of my time there I felt that I wasn't happy, I reflected a lot on my unhappiness while climbing some of the Atlas peaks in Morocco. Great therapy by the way. π
I had a great job, I worked with smart people, and things were great really. Why do I want to...

Pretty tough one. WhatsApp is SO and deeply ingrained into societies now that phone calls are now way less important than having access to WhatsApp. Selling between businesses and customers in messaging first economies like LATAM or India or MENA is all through WhatsApp.

It could be interesting but technically it can be pretty tricky to do (you are going to rely on private / reverse engineering WhatsApp APIs which are always brittle). I wonder why do that when WhatsApp has already released community?
Would you join a community platform that organized and structured all your Whatsapp groups better?

If you mean for personal use, then no. If you mean for business use, then I do ALOT π
The use case I get the most ROI of building a WA chat bot is to qualify leads and as a good pre-sales & sales hook where I can get to answer questions fast and move a deal from one phase to the other.
(but also a disclaimer, I build https://rasayel.io that does this π
)
Do you use WhatsApp/Telegram chat bots?
