Building an AI-Powered WhatsApp Sales & Support Platform for Businesses
Overview
Wabrix is a WhatsApp automation platform designed to help businesses handle customer conversations at scale using AI. The platform enables brands to automate support, qualify leads, answer FAQs, recover abandoned customers, and manage conversations directly through WhatsApp with a fast, human-like AI assistant.
I led the end-to-end development of the platform, including the AI chat infrastructure, WhatsApp integration system, onboarding flow, automation builder, analytics dashboard, and real-time conversation management tools.
Goal
The main goal was to turn WhatsApp from a manual support channel into an AI-powered operational workflow that could increase response speed, reduce support workload, and improve customer conversion.
From a business perspective, the platform needed to do more than simply auto-reply messages. It had to function as an intelligent sales and support assistant that could:
- qualify leads automatically
- guide customers through buying decisions
- handle repetitive support requests
- recover potential lost sales
- escalate conversations to human agents when needed
The product was designed to help businesses respond instantly while maintaining a natural and branded customer experience.
What I Did
I built the platform from the ground up with a strong focus on scalability, automation, and real-world business usability.
My work included:
- Building the WhatsApp AI chat infrastructure and messaging workflows
- Developing the admin dashboard and conversation management system
- Creating automation flows for support, lead qualification, and customer follow-up
- Integrating WhatsApp Cloud API for real-time messaging
- Designing AI context handling for better response accuracy and brand consistency
- Implementing multilingual support for broader business adoption
- Building analytics and reporting systems for tracking engagement and response performance
- Creating human handoff systems for support escalation
- Developing onboarding flows to simplify setup and adoption for businesses
Workflow / System Design
One of the most important parts of the project was designing the platform as a business workflow system rather than a simple chatbot.
The AI layer needed structured access to:
- customer conversations and message history
- business knowledge and FAQs
- sales and support workflows
- lead qualification logic
- human escalation rules
- response behavior and brand tone
This allowed the AI to operate more like a real support and sales team member instead of a generic assistant.
The platform was designed around operational efficiency: automated responses, structured customer flows, measurable outcomes, and smooth human collaboration when needed.
Implementation
The platform was built using modern full-stack architecture and real-time messaging systems:
- React-based admin dashboard
- WhatsApp Cloud API integration
- AI-powered conversational workflows
- real-time messaging infrastructure
- automation and escalation systems
- analytics and conversation tracking
- multilingual AI response handling
- role-based workspace management
- performance monitoring and reporting tools
Result
The platform successfully helped businesses automate customer communication while improving operational efficiency and response speed.
Businesses were able to:
- reduce manual support workload
- respond to customers instantly
- increase lead engagement
- improve conversion opportunities
- manage conversations more efficiently through centralized workflows
The system achieved extremely fast AI response times, averaging around 17 seconds for automated support interactions.
Outcome
This project demonstrated how AI can be applied to WhatsApp in a practical, business-focused way. not as a gimmick, but as a scalable communication workflow that supports sales, support, and customer experience simultaneously.
The result was a platform that helped businesses operate faster, respond smarter, and create a more seamless customer journey directly inside WhatsApp.

Telegram AI Agent with Memory, Tools, and Android Self-Hosting
Bzhela started as an experimental Telegram AI agent but evolved into a full research project focused on long-term memory, controlled context, and autonomous infrastructure. The goal was to build a context-aware assistant that tracks conversation flow and interacts with real-world tools without losing coherence in an active group chat.
The core of the system was a custom memory architecture. To prevent context collapse, I built a rolling strategy where older messages were compressed into a summary while fresh messages remained raw. I used Redis for short-term history and Pinecone for long-term fact retrieval. The agent actively extracted and managed facts, applying time-to-live limits to temporary memories so the database stayed clean.
This setup allowed the agent to be proactive rather than purely reactive. It operated with practical integrations tied to daily life. The agent checked local power outage schedules, managed Google Calendar events, and interacted bidirectionally with an iPhone via Shortcuts. It could trigger phone-side scenarios, like setting alarms or sending warnings based on battery levels.
The infrastructure was deliberately unconventional. Instead of a standard cloud server, the agent ran on a self-hosted Android phone without root. I set up a runtime using Termux, proot Ubuntu, and Node.js, managed by PM2. Cloudflare Tunnel ensured secure remote access. This gave the agent physical survivability via a power bank and access to real-world network signals.
Over several months, the system maintained a stable context, managing around 150 compressed facts and proactively messaging based on real-world triggers. It proved that an AI agent can act as a reliable, system-level tool rather than just a simple chatbot wrapper.
Key technical aspects:
- Custom memory stack using Pinecone and Redis
- Rolling context and automated chat summarization
- Event-driven proactive messaging
- Integrations with Google Calendar, webhooks, and iOS Shortcuts
- Self-hosted Android runtime with Termux and Cloudflare Tunnel
Building rolling memory with Redis + Pinecone on a self-hosted Android stack is serious agent engineering → this goes far beyond a typical “Telegram chatbot.”

I built Travero: Commute as a smaller,
sharper version of the original Travero idea.
Travero started as an app for seeing weather along your driving route, based on where you’ll actually be at each point of the trip. That works really well for longer drives, but I kept thinking there’s a more frequent use case hiding inside it: the daily commute.
Most people don’t need a full navigation app every morning. They already know where they’re going. What they need is a quick answer before leaving:
Is traffic bad? Is there an incident? Will weather affect the drive? Should I leave now or wait a bit?
So Travero: Commute became a more focused product around that exact moment.
The app is built around saved Home and Work locations, one-tap commute checks, traffic status, incidents, weather along the route, alternative routes, and quick summaries that are easy to understand before you get in the car.
One important shift was treating weather as a supporting layer, not the main feature. For commute, traffic is the real priority. Weather still matters, but only when it affects the route.
I also wanted the app to feel more like a daily habit than a trip planner. Something you can open quickly in the morning or after work, check the route, and decide whether to leave now, wait, or take another way.
This project was a good reminder that sometimes the best product direction comes from narrowing the idea, not adding more features.
Travero: Commute is still part of the same bigger Travero vision, but with a much clearer daily use case.
Awesome work👏🔥🔥
