Wechaty is a Conversational RPA SDK for building chatbots on instant messaging platforms like WeChat, WhatsApp, WeCom, Gitter, and Lark in a few lines of code. It provides multi-language SDKs (TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, Rust, Scala) and a pluggable puppet architecture for connecting to different IM services.

Use cases

  • build a wechat chatbot
  • automate whatsapp conversations
  • auto-reply bot for instant messaging
  • manage wechat groups and contacts programmatically
  • create a customer service bot on wecom
  • send and receive messages via a bot api
  • accept friend requests automatically

When to choose

  • you want a chatbot on WeChat, WhatsApp, WeCom, or Lark with minimal code
  • you need cross-platform IM support with one codebase
  • you want SDKs in multiple programming languages
  • you need room, contact, and friendship management automation

When to avoid

  • you need a bot for platforms not covered by available puppet providers
  • you require a fully free solution - many puppet services need paid tokens
  • you are building a web-only chat widget rather than an IM bot
  • your target platform's terms of service prohibit automation
