I watched the video. I still don't understand what it is clearly. I don't understand "why I should care" by which I mean how is using the potential product so much better than the alternatives that it offsets the risk of a dependency on Whatsapp's platform (and based on not wanting legal advice I suspect that there is risk involved in taking this kind of dependency on Whatsapp's platform).

Curious as to alternatives and their shortcomings.

you are scanning a qr code from project's website or terminal, and boom you are able to create chat bots with your Whatsapp account.

I'm not using any open sourced and problematic libraries(which are replacing whatsapp client) like whatsapi&yowsup, I developed more secure, robost and undetectable method and want to create a product.

also what are the solutions did you mentioned?
