This is an early stage of the moment we have all been waiting for: WhatsApp reportedly started testing system that would let businesses talk directly to WhatsApp users. Seems like we’ll see such a desired bot platform API inside WhatsApp soon (in half of year 😂). I’m happy because our clients have always asked us to build a bot inside WhatsApp but it wasn’t possible in a native way. Also, it’s an important signal of how WhatsApp plans to make money from its massively popular service since it has not developed a business model in the three years since Facebook Inc bought it for a hefty $19 billion. http://venturebeat.com/2017/03/08/whatsapp-reportedly-testing-business-chat-tools/
