python-whatsapp-bot is an open-source framework that demonstrates how to build AI-powered WhatsApp bots using pure Python and the official WhatsApp Cloud API. The project provides a practical implementation of a messaging automation system using the Flask web framework to handle webhook events and process incoming messages in real time. Developers can configure the bot to receive user messages through the WhatsApp API, route them through application logic, and generate automated responses powered by AI services such as large language models. The repository includes example scripts and project structures that illustrate how to integrate OpenAI or similar AI models into the bot workflow, enabling conversational agents capable of answering questions or performing automated tasks.
