Built a free tool for anyone doing WhatsApp bot/automation work for clients 🤖
I kept running into the same problem on chatbot projects — most WhatsApp automation tools (ManyChat, Wati, Landbot) lock everything into their own cloud. Great for quick builds, but the moment a client wants to self-host or switch providers, you're rebuilding from scratch.
So I built FlowBot — a drag-and-drop WhatsApp bot builder designed to fix that:
→ 40+ ready blocks — menus, FAQ auto-reply, booking flows, catalogs, payment links, human handoff, business hours logic
→ Live simulator to test flows before anything goes live
→ Connects to Meta WhatsApp Cloud API, Twilio, Green API, or whapi cloud
→ Exports the entire bot as a working Node.js + Express project — hand clients real, ownable code instead of a subscription
→ AI Builder that drafts a flowchart from a plain-English description, which you then customize
Been using it myself to speed up client demos and deliverables. Figured other independents doing chatbot/automation work here might find it useful too.
Free to try, no signup needed for the builder: flochatbot.com
Would love feedback from anyone who's shipped WhatsApp bots for clients — what's missing for real project work?

Built an AI-powered customer support chatbot for Fontty Games from the ground up.
Designed the system prompt architecture, intent scoping, and structured JSON output pipeline using the DeepSeek API. The assistant — Sir Alfonzo Quareno IV — handles game inquiries across three titles and escalates flagged cases (refunds, bug reports, collabs, and more) by collecting user data conversationally and logging it automatically to Google Sheets via a custom Apps Script webhook🔥.
Key engineering decisions:
Structured JSON output enforced via response_format to guarantee parseable replies
Stateless service with conversation history managed per session on the frontend
Escalation logic driven entirely by model output — no hardcoded UI triggers
Prompt designed to resist persona attacks, scope creep, and language confusion
Built on Blazor Server with MudBlazor for the frontend.
Just delivered a finance automation for a dental clinic in Texas.
Their leads were growing fast and manual tracking was becoming impossible.
Now they just send a WhatsApp message, voice or text, and everything logs automatically.
"I spent $10 on coffee" → logged.
"I earned $1,000 developing a website" → logged.
Income source, amount, category, all recorded instantly into their spreadsheet.
No manual entry. No missed transactions. Just message and move on.
This is what automation looks like for a real client with a real problem 💪.

🌿 WoodCrafts — from scattered inquiries to a unified lead system
One of the most interesting parts of this project was building the knowledge base for the AI assistant.
I didn't want generic chatbot answers. So I started by generating hundreds of questions customers typically ask about garden beds, pergolas, sheds, and custom wooden structures — then sat down with the business owner and went through them together: cut what didn't apply, added real questions they actually get, and wrote answers based on their real products, pricing, materials, and delivery process.
I asked ChatGPT to structure everything into a JSON knowledge base with keyword arrays and semantic matching logic, so the assistant could recognize questions through both exact keywords and intent, not just literal wording. I then handed this file to Base44 and connected it to the assistant.
It now handles questions about materials, durability, dimensions, and delivery — and hands off to a personal consultation whenever a project needs a real quote.
Fewer repetitive conversations for the owner, faster answers for customers.
