A scalable enterprise interface for automating customer communication and high-volume messaging via the WhatsApp Business Platform.

The WhatsApp Business API (now the WhatsApp Business Platform) enables developers to integrate messaging directly into existing tech stacks like Salesforce or Zendesk. It supports massive scale: businesses can send transactional notifications, automate support via AI chatbots, and manage multi-agent workflows for thousands of concurrent conversations. Key features include 24-hour session windows, template-based messaging for proactive alerts, and verified business profiles that build immediate trust with 2 billion global users.

### [Referral systems are a GTM engineering problem](https://valencia.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_cbEjaJjaKHg)

Seven referral mechanisms run against 40 real companies — Airbnb, Monzo, Dropbox, Tesla — every number from filings, eng blogs or peer review. Then the four things AI actually changes: who to ask, when, with which words, and how to pay. Closes with a live case study: wiring all seven into insider.works.

### [Building an AI WhatsApp guide for the Valencia Fallas festival](https://valencia.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_73Oz6MkCmvU)

I built an AI-powered WhatsApp assistant that acts as a digital guide for the Valencia Fallas festival. Visitors can ask about the main Fallas monuments and receive explanations about their meaning, satire, and artistic concept. For the most important Fallas, the assistant also delivers pre-recorded audio explanations in Spanish and Valencian, allowing visitors to experience them as if they were using an audio guide. The project demonstrates how conversational AI can turn a messaging app into an accessible cultural guide for large public events without requiring users to install a dedicated app.
