Hey everyone. I'm the founder at https://wassist.app/ (The WhatsApp Agent Platform). Off the back of this post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47775628) we've created a CLI that doesn't carry the risk of getting your account banned.
There are a few differences, mainly we don't access your personal[0] messages but provide our a sandbox number that the CLI interacts with - this is completely free to use.
With the sandbox number you can: - interactively message from the terminal - read conversations - send messages, including media, buttons etc
You may upgrade to connect and manage dedicated numbers, these are created and managed through the Official WhatsApp Business API - it's all official so no ban risk on these accounts unless you break Meta's rules.
[0] How can I use my existing number? - If you're a WhatsApp Business App number - you can connect this with Wassist, we use a primitive called co-existence to link to an WhatsApp Business API account that you'll create. Again 100% official API - If you're using a WhatsApp consumer number - you need to convert this to WhatsApp business App number (https://faq.whatsapp.com/3059780464322392/?cms_platform=andr...)

They're already outright banning many OpenClaw usecases via their official API: https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/18/whatssapp-changes-its-term...

You can use the official API to create and run bots - though the API itself is pretty bad

(Caveat I’m the founder of https://wassist.app - The WhatsApp Agent Platform)
Please be very careful using this tool to automate your WhatsApp - if you send too many messages, too quickly, you are going to get banned.
This is NOT an officially supported api by WhatsApp and the risk of ban is relatively high

Context usage is a client problem - progressive disclosure can be implemented without any spec changes (Claude/code has this built in for example). That being said the examples for creating a client could be massively expanded to show how to do this well

I quite like the mantra "distributed logs are all you need" - cool product!

Working in this space, the person running the building barely knows who is living there...
