pi + WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the conversation entry point; pi is the agent that runs the work. Test pi with GPT-5.6 Sol below, then connect WhatsApp and choose this agent in channel settings.
How the combination works
pi does the work. WhatsApp carries the conversation.
Pi runs a compact coding and tool-use loop that can inspect files, execute commands, and iterate on a bounded task.
Use the linked-device pairing flow to let incoming messages reach your selected agent. This is an unofficial connection; review the risks before choosing a number.
pi
Owns the work loop, model calls, files, cloud computer, enabled tools, and the result returned to the conversation.
WhatsApp
Lets people reach the selected AgentSky agent from WhatsApp. It does not grant access to repositories or other applications mentioned in a message.
AgentSky
Owns the selected responder, channel binding, task state, model and runtime usage, and the separate permissions for tools and connectors.
Setup and first task
Connect pi to the WhatsApp conversation you intend to use.
The Composer tests the exact agent in the browser. Channel setup remains a separate account or workspace authorization, so neither step can silently stand in for the other.
Test pi in the Composer
The Composer above selects pi and its current recommended model, GPT-5.6 Sol. Use a small task with an answer you can inspect before connecting a shared channel.
Connect WhatsApp and choose pi
Select Connect WhatsApp in the agent’s channel controls. The consent explains that Meta can ban the linked number and recommends using a secondary number. On the phone for the number being paired, open WhatsApp Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device. Scan the displayed QR; it rotates while waiting.
Verify the real channel path
Send a small request to the paired number from another account you control. Messages sent by the paired number itself do not reach the agent. Confirm the response and usage. Check that the reply arrives in the intended WhatsApp conversation and that the dashboard still names pi as the responder.
Access, cost and limits
What pi + WhatsApp establishes
Focused engineering tasks where a lightweight agent loop and quick iteration matter more than a large orchestration layer.
Configure and verify
- pi and GPT-5.6 Sol are preselected for the browser evaluation.
- WhatsApp is connected or paired to the intended account, workspace, server, device or conversation.
- The first real message reaches the selected agent and returns a useful reply through the same channel.
Do not assume
- A browser task does not automatically bind WhatsApp; finish the channel setup separately.
- WhatsApp membership does not authorize repositories, email, documents or other application data.
- Model tokens and active computer time are billed separately from any channel or provider plan.
