Does AI Assistant need the WhatsApp Business API?

No. It runs in WhatsApp Web through the browser extension. The WhatsApp Business Platform/API is a separate Meta product for programmatic messaging.

Is my data synced across devices?

CRM records live in your WAExtension workspace, so teammates and your own logins see consistent data wherever the extension is active.

Can I try it without paying?

Yes — explore the free tier on the pricing page before choosing a plan.

The problem

WhatsApp Web shows conversations in one long chronological list. That is fine for personal use and inadequate for business: there is no place for ai assistant metadata, so information lives in memory, sticky notes or a spreadsheet someone updates when they remember.

The WAExtension solution

The ai assistant toolset puts that missing structure directly beside the chat thread — visible while you type, not after the fact in another tab.
