## What it is
Venom is a high-performance Node.js/TypeScript framework for automating WhatsApp through WhatsApp Web via Puppeteer, offering a clean API for sending messages, media, and building interactive bots. It supports multi-session management, session persistence, and AI-based sentence recognition for chatbot interactions.

## Use cases
- build a whatsapp chatbot in nodejs
- automate sending whatsapp messages and media
- create a customer service bot for whatsapp
- run multiple whatsapp sessions for a business
- add ai-based message recognition to a whatsapp bot
- integrate whatsapp messaging into an existing application

## When to choose
- you need programmatic control of WhatsApp from Node.js without the official Business API
- you want multi-session support and session persistence out of the box
- you are building customer service or notification bots on WhatsApp

## When to avoid
- you need an officially supported WhatsApp Business API integration with guaranteed compliance
- your stack is not JavaScript/TypeScript or Node.js 18+
- you cannot run a headless Chromium browser on your infrastructure
