SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you send WhatsApp messages to other people and reliably search or backfill WhatsApp history using a CLI, instead of handling everything manually in a mobile UI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explicit outbound messaging: Send text or files to a specified recipient (including groups) after confirming recipient and message text.
  • History search & sync: Run authentication and continuous syncing, then search chats/messages and backfill older history when needed.
  • Safety-first operations: Designed to avoid misuse in normal user chats by requiring explicit intent to message third parties.

Example use case: You need to message a teammate with a meeting update and also search prior WhatsApp messages for an earlier reference (e.g., “invoice” within a specific date range).

Quick Start

Ask OpenAEON to sync and search your WhatsApp messages by instructing it to run wacli auth to log in and then wacli messages search for your query.
