Send voice messages, images, or PDFs via WhatsApp to instantly get help with scheduling, email management, web searches, and receive audio responses. The system transcribes your inputs and uses Gmail and Google Calendar to execute these tasks directly within the chat.

How hands-off: Assists you, you do the final step
Setup: A bigger project · a few focused days
Works with: WhatsApp Business Cloud, OpenAI, Anthropic Chat Model, Gmail, Google Calendar

Watch out for

WhatsApp has strict template message rules for initiating conversations so you must use pre-approved templates for outbound messages to avoid bans.
Audio transcription latency can frustrate users so implement asynchronous processing with a status update mechanism rather than blocking the webhook.
Tool execution failures like Gmail auth errors will crash the flow so add robust error handling that returns a polite failure message instead of crashing.
Token limits in Anthropic may truncate long context from PDFs so implement chunking strategies for document extraction to stay within safe bounds.
