Paste this into your coding agent, or run it yourself in a terminal. Please help me connect WhatsApp to you through SealGate on my machine. If I do not already have a SealGate account, have me sign up at https://dashboard.sealgate.ai/start/personal-messaging?utm_source=sealgate.ai&utm_campaign=seo-connect&utm_content=whatsapp first, since starting there pre-approves the Beeper connector. Then follow the setup steps at https://sealgate.ai/connect/whatsapp.md and stop whenever I need to act myself: approving this device in the browser when the installer asks, and, only if I already had an account, approving the Beeper connector in the SealGate dashboard. Requires macOS or Windows (Linux is experimental) with the Beeper desktop app installed. ## What you can do with WhatsApp and your agent - Draft replies to your unread WhatsApp chats and send them once you approve. - Summarize busy family or work group chats and pull out the action items. - Send the same update to a list of contacts without copy and pasting. - Search past conversations to answer a question or find a shared file. ## Why connect WhatsApp through SealGate One setup for every app, works with cloud and mobile agents, fully governed and logged, and your messages are never stored. ### One setup, every network The same command connects your whole unified inbox, so you are not wiring up a separate bridge for each app. ### Works with cloud and mobile agents A local daemon tunnels the connector out, so ChatGPT, Claude, and other cloud agents can use it, not just CLI tools. ### Governed and logged Every tool call runs through SealGate policies and lands in an audit trail that records only metadata, never your message content, so access stays under your control. ### SealGate never stores your messages Message content only passes through in transit to be checked against your policies, and is never stored or read by anyone at SealGate. Under the hood, the Beeper desktop app bridges WhatsApp and a small open-source daemon tunnels it to the SealGate gateway.

Yes. Once you connect WhatsApp through SealGate, your agent can read your chats and send messages to contacts or groups, whether it runs locally or in the cloud like the ChatGPT and Claude mobile apps. Do I need the WhatsApp Business API? No. SealGate connects to your own WhatsApp account through the Beeper desktop app, so there is no separate Business API account or third-party number to provision. Is it safe to give an AI agent access to WhatsApp? Your WhatsApp login is never stored on SealGate's servers. Every tool call the agent makes runs through SealGate policy checks and is written to an audit log that records only metadata (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it), never your message content, so you control and can review exactly what it did without SealGate storing your messages. What does SealGate store about my messages? SealGate routes each tool call to your connector and back, holding the request and response in memory only long enough to apply your policies, then discarding them. That check is automated: the gateway inspects the traffic programmatically to enforce your rules, and no one at SealGate can read your messages. They are never persisted and never used to train any model. SealGate keeps only call metadata (which tool ran, when, and which agent ran it), never the tool-call parameters or results, so your conversations and who you are talking to are never stored on SealGate's servers. Does it work with cloud agents, not just CLI tools? Yes. A small local daemon called stdiod tunnels your local WhatsApp connector to any cloud or mobile agent, so apps like ChatGPT and Claude can use it too, not just CLI tools on the same machine.
