User suggests that WhatsApp's API is unfriendly and proposes a solution that allows users to connect their WhatsApp account using just a QR code, making it easier to integrate with AI models and automation platforms.
WhatsApp has a very unfriendly API, making it very hard to use with AI models unless you have a business account and go through a tedious set up process. Spent the last few days building an open source website that uses WAHA to let you connect your whatsapp account using just a QR code. Also added MCP support so you can use any AI model to send and read messages on your WhatsApp. Finally, it has support for registering webhooks, which makes it easy to use with any automation platform. The core challenge was figuring out how to scale up persistent connections since WAHA requires a continuously connected process to be able to notify as soon as a message arrives. Hope this helps people out! GitHub: [https://github.com/dhruvyad/wahooks](https://github.com/dhruvyad/wahooks) Website: [wahooks.com](http://wahooks.com)
