wptui is a keyboard-driven WhatsApp client for the terminal. It combines a Rust/Ratatui terminal interface with the Go whatsmeow library to provide Vim-inspired chat navigation, chat browsing and search, message sending and editing, replies, reactions, quoted-message inspection, clipboard text/image/file pasting, attachment captions, media downloads and previews, contact avatars, and desktop notifications. Accounts can be linked with a QR code or phone pairing code. The client stores its database, media, and session locally in ~/.local/share/wptui/ and exchanges data with WhatsApp servers for linking and synchronization. Image rendering uses libchafa; prebuilt binaries are provided for Linux x86_64 and macOS Apple Silicon, and the project can also be built from source with Rust, Go, and CGO.

WhatsApp is a cross-platform messaging and voice/video calling application owned by Meta Platforms. It provides text messaging, group chats, voice and video calls, file sharing, and end-to-end encryption for communications. The service is available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and via a web client.

WeChat Bot is an open-source IM agent and command-line tool based on Wechaty. It connects WeChat QR-code logins, Lark events, Telegram's Bot API, and WhatsApp Cloud API to AI services including ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Ollama, Claude, Pi, and other configured providers for message replies and analysis. The project routes received messages through a pipeline that captures WeChat messages locally in JSONL, sends them to a selected model or agent, and posts the response back to the IM channel. Its `wb wx` commands use OpenCLI wx-cli to access local WeChat chats, contacts, group members, favorites, and cached Moments; `wb stats` and `wb analyze` provide local statistics or AI-assisted group and friend analysis. Replies can be restricted with contact and group allowlists, prefixes, and group-mention rules, and non-text messages are not automatically sent to the reply pipeline. The repository is a Node.js project requiring Node.js 18 or later and can be installed with npm or run in Docker. It is licensed under the MIT License. The README warns that WeChat Web protocols can trigger account warnings or bans and recommends narrow allowlists and usage scopes.

WhatsApp Business API, marketed as part of the WhatsApp Business Platform and provided by Meta, is a REST API and webhook-based messaging platform for businesses to send and receive customer messages at scale. It supports text, media (images, audio, video, documents), interactive message types and approved message templates, is available as Meta-hosted Cloud API or a self-hosted/on‑premises deployment, requires a verified Business Account and phone number, and is intended for integration with CRMs and customer-service automation under WhatsApp Business policies and per-message pricing.
