## What it is
Whatomate is an open-source, self-hosted WhatsApp Business platform shipped as a single Go binary with Docker support. It provides multi-tenant messaging, real-time chat, template and campaign management, chatbot automation, and WhatsApp voice calling with a visual IVR builder and S3 call recording.

## Use cases
- self-host a WhatsApp Business messaging platform
- send bulk WhatsApp campaigns with retries
- build keyword and AI-powered WhatsApp chatbots
- handle inbound and outbound WhatsApp voice calls
- build IVR call flows with a visual node editor
- record WhatsApp calls to my own S3 bucket
- manage WhatsApp message templates approved by Meta
- give support teams a shared WhatsApp inbox with roles and permissions

## When to choose
- you need WhatsApp messaging and voice calling on infrastructure you control
- you want to avoid per-message or per-minute third-party fees
- you need multi-tenant WhatsApp support for multiple organizations
- you want chatbot automation with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google integrations

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight WhatsApp bot library to embed in your own code
- you are unwilling to run Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API approval process
- you need a fully managed SaaS with vendor support
- your project is incompatible with the AGPL-3.0 license
