This project builds a lightweight AI bot that quietly lives inside a WhatsApp group and compiles a clean, helpful daily summary of everything discussed. It streamlines group communication for kids and teens by turning noisy message threads into one clear update. The bot automates monitoring, summarizing, and message processing using WhatsApp automation and a Python-based AI engine.
Created by Bitbash, built to showcase our approach to Scraping and Automation!

Managing active WhatsApp groups can get messy fast, especially when kids and teens share dozens or hundreds of messages a day. Manually reading everything is tiring, and important notes easily slip through the cracks. This automation trims the noise and generates a simple daily recap so adults or supervisors can stay informed without wading through endless chat logs.
- Helps adults keep track of group activity without hovering.
- Reduces the cognitive load of reviewing long message threads.
- Ensures transparency and awareness of group conversations.
- Automatically highlights key topics, plans, and emotional shifts.
- Provides structured summaries that are easy to archive or review later.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Automated Message Collection | Continuously retrieves new WhatsApp group messages for processing. |
| AI-Powered Daily Summary | Generates a concise, readable recap of all group discussions. |
| Content Filtering | Ignores irrelevant system messages or short, low-value noise. |
| Message Categorization | Detects topics, sentiments, and recurring themes. |
| Scheduled Delivery | Sends summaries at a fixed time each day. |
| Reliability Checks | Fallback handling for message retrieval or API failures. |
| Safe Processing Rules | Adds safeguards suitable for youth-oriented groups. |
| Configurable Summary Depth | Allows tuning length, tone, and detail level. |
| Multi-Group Support | Handles multiple phone numbers or groups independently. |
| Cloud-Based Execution | Runs continuously without requiring user intervention. |
| Activity Logging | Tracks actions and summaries for auditing and review. |
| Rate & API Management | Follows proper pacing to maintain stable operation. |
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Input or Trigger | The bot activates on a timed schedule or when new messages arrive through the WhatsApp interface. |
| Core Logic | Messages are validated, cleaned, grouped by time, and processed through an AI summarization model tuned for short-form group conversations. |
| Output or Action | A structured, human-like summary is sent directly into the WhatsApp group as a single message. |
| Other Functionalities | Handles transient API issues, retries failed fetches, and logs all decisions for debugging and accountability. |
| Safety Controls | Includes filters, pacing rules, cooldown intervals, and consistency checks to avoid accidental flooding or incorrect message delivery. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Language | Python |
| Frameworks | FastAPI, Async I/O message worker |
| Tools | NLP summarization engine, WhatsApp messaging API |
| Infrastructure | Docker, serverless runner, GitHub Actions pipeline |

- School moderators use it to receive a quick digest of group chats, so they can stay informed without reading every message.
- Parents managing group activities rely on summaries to track planning, coordination, and shared updates.
- Youth organizations use it to keep communication clean and structured across active group discussions.
- Educational programs benefit from automated logging and summarization for later review or documentation.
- Community managers use it to maintain awareness of group sentiment and recurring discussion themes.
Does the bot read all messages in real time? It processes messages as they arrive but only generates and sends one summary per day, keeping the group experience clean and unobtrusive.
Can the summary tone be adjusted? Yes — the summarization engine supports configurable length, detail, tone, and keyword emphasis.
Can multiple groups be supported at once? The architecture is built for multi-group scheduling, with each phone number or group handled independently.
Does it store message history? It only stores messages long enough to generate the daily summary unless archiving is explicitly enabled.
Execution Speed: Processes roughly 2,000–4,000 messages per hour depending on message length and API latency.
Success Rate: Averages around 93–94% delivery reliability across repeated daily summary cycles with retry logic.
Scalability: Handles 50–500 parallel groups or phone numbers running on separate worker threads or containers.
Resource Efficiency: Uses approximately 180–300 MB RAM and low CPU load per active worker depending on summarization model size.
Error Handling: Built with layered retries, exponential backoff, structured logs, health monitoring, and automatic recovery routines to keep the bot running smoothly.
