Meta AI developer assistant now live for Business Messaging

By Romeet Sen, Aalap Patel

Helping WhatsApp Business developers and tech providers get up and running faster

Building on our WhatsApp Business Platform is one of the most impactful ways businesses connect with their customers at scale. But for developers and tech providers getting started, the onboarding journey can be complex and time-consuming.

Today, we're introducing the Meta AI developer assistant for WhatsApp Business developers and tech providers. It's an AI-powered assistant that meets developers exactly where they get stuck, with contextual guidance, troubleshooting, and answers grounded in our official documentation.

What it does

Meta AI developer assistant is integrated directly into the WhatsApp Business developer and Tech Provider onboarding flows. Rather than searching through docs, filing support tickets, or navigating community forums, developers can now get immediate, conversational help with:

  • App configuration: Step-by-step guidance for setting up your WhatsApp Business app correctly the first time.
  • Business verification: Clear answers on verification requirements, common blockers, and how to resolve them.
  • App review: Understanding what reviewers look for and how to prepare a successful submission.
