decided to build Zami because building chat integrations should be as easy as email/text.

launching public beta today with WhatsApp and Instagram, rest of the networks will be added in the coming months.

hope you like it :)

The Instagram API lands in a very gray area, so as the whatsapp API as well. Personally working with reverse engineered Instagram APIs, A.K.A private APIs, There are high chances of accounts getting banned immediately after using these APIs for automation.

How do you plan on sustaining such a project for a long time when you can be easily killed by the platform and pose potential risk to the users?

(I had to shutdown a service used by 100K+ users due the same reason)

The industry is shifting towards open interoperable networks and we want to help accelerate it.

It was a similar experience with banks before Plaid came out and payroll systems before Pinwheel launched. We want to do the same for chat
