TL;DR
- Building a WhatsApp chatbot requires a Business API account, a webhook server, message routing logic, and an AI layer for natural language understanding.
- The 24-hour conversation window is the biggest design constraint.
- CodeWords can serve as the webhook endpoint, AI reasoning layer, and integration hub, so you build the chatbot as a single deployable workflow.
