You don’t have to store messages. It’s a feature to make the UI and MCP more powerful
You are right that this is a consideration and risk. But it can make your life much easier. The reality is that these tool are available now. This is in fact not the first one like this. It can make the work of small businesses or clubs more more efficient.
Not quite sure what you mean with admin access. There no such concept. But you can basically do anything a user can do - but via MCP.
Businesses can use the official API which is costly and takes time to set up. Correct.
If you use it for personal and not excessively you won’t get banned is my experience. You if you start messaging new contacts on a large scale you probably will.

Hi,I built Chat-Man because I wanted a cheap way to give my agents access to WhatsApp without integrating a WhatsApp library separately in every project.You get WhatsApp MCP server, so you can connect WhatsApp to an agent and programmatically read, search, extract and send messages - but also have a web UI for non-techies.You can also receive webhooks for incoming messages for starred...
I'm so happy to hear that you like the idea! Will need to add !
Thank you for the support! I'm fully with you! Is there any feedback you have?
Hi weezing - thanks for your feedback! It might not be the right thing for you, but as I wrote in other comments - flowers will bring joy to people no matter what technical mechanism was involved.
Imagine you're an old lady receiving a bouquet of flowers for your birthday - or a lonely person, or someone who just lost a family member - the attention will be real when they receive flowers. "someone" must have add "some" information to a computer so that it "knows" that there is a birthday.
What about ordering a gift to be delivered from any gift-delivery website? Is that soulless because it was done over the internet? It's an interesting philosophical question. Judging by my actual experience ordering flowers online, the answer is people still appreciate it.
I find that this service allows people go make other people happy. But it seems it's not for everyone - that's fine.
However, if you DM me - I'll use my MCP to send flowers to you - to prove you that receiving flowers is awesome - independently of which technological mechanism was involved in arranging the order. If your country is not supported, I'll try to add it.
Don't take things on the internet too serious.
Thanks for the feedback. Definitely worded a bit drastic. And no, it’s not satire. But if you really disagree-please tell your friends how stupid this service is - then more people can form an opinion by themselves.
I’m would also say that sending flowers is not souless at all. I will be adding some delivery videos and photos soon.
I will work on it to improve the UI.
Let me know what you think!

Hi,I have created an MCP for AI agents to send flowers for your mum’s birthday, for a great customer who just renewed his contract or what ever you can think of!I created this after working on a family AI assistant (hermo.ai) which desperately needed to trigger something tangible - like a flower delivery.You can send flowers without having to create an account to make it easy to get...
From my perspective this article ignores a key part of being a parent - your partner! Me and my wife build and sold a business - while having a our first child. If you have a partner which supports you/or you support your partner - you can find the time for your kids. Paid help can give you time back without taking time from your kids: get a chef (can also just hire for meal-prep), cleaners, all sorts of helpers (even try to get along with your own parents). If you are successful you can spend money to get time with your kids/family AND put time into work.
We also started building an AI agent (of course) hermo.ai which can help manage and reduce your admin work and giving you more time for whatever you want - for example playing with your kids.
If someone is interested, I am giving short courses with walkthrough on how to train you LLM from scratch via AI Study Camp.
I think Reddit is fine. Calm down.
If you talk about YC work at a startup, I can tell you that when hiring from that site that 99% of applicants didn't read our job description and missed to realise that they are not qualified. This leads to candidates not getting a response.
Try to build a network of personal in-person relationships who you then contact ad-hoc by WhatsAp, email,etc. As a start reach out to other technical managers to get advise on a specific topic and see if there's a chemistry. If not try someone else. I'm happy to chat.
Glassdoor does not delete reviews but you can pay for "advice" how to get positive reviews instead.
I don't think 30 days are reasonable and our costs would go up 150x! On top of having regular outages over the last six months. Not going to happen. I'm out.

Not sure about that. UK/London companies can pay big bucks if they want you.
or as traders call it, the jampot
I moved mid of August within London and Openreach+Plusnet have not been able to connect my fiber connection - more than 2 months! Every week is a different issue.
