What it does

Iris reads your WhatsApp with you and helps you answer. She tells you when something comes in that matters, sums up a busy group, and writes a reply in your words. Nothing is sent until you say yes to exactly that text.

• "What did Anna send me?"
• "Anything important in the football group today?"
• "Tell Mark I'll be ten minutes late."

Your messages also appear in the inbox on the page, where you can answer yourself.

Linking

Ask Iris to connect WhatsApp and give her your number. She gets a code; on your phone open WhatsApp, Settings, Linked devices, Link a device, then "Link with phone number instead", and type the code. Iris becomes a linked device, like WhatsApp on a computer. Unlink any time, from Iris or from your phone.

Or do it yourself in your Iris, under Integrations: whatsapp, set up, and fill in your number.

Good to know

• This uses the same connection as WhatsApp Web, not an official business interface. WhatsApp can limit numbers that behave like bots, so Iris sends at most 30 messages an hour and never on her own.
• Your WhatsApp keys stay outside Iris's workspace; she can ask for messages, she cannot take the account.
• Voice messages show as "[voice message]" for now; transcripts are coming.
