Connect AI/ML API to WhatsApp: messages and threads by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect AI/ML API once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Flann already understands language. AI/ML API adds something specific, whether that is transcription, images, translation, research or a specialised model. Connect it and Flann can call AI/ML API when a job needs it, then bring the result back to you in WhatsApp to check before it is used anywhere.
30 actions in AI/ML API. 17 only look things up, and 13 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in AI/ML API
Send any of these on WhatsApp, in your own words. Flann finds the right AI/ML API action and fills in the details from the conversation.
“Show me my thread messages in AI/ML API.”
“Look up the message in AI/ML API.”
“Show me my models in AI/ML API.”
“Create a message in AI/ML API.”
“Create a run in AI/ML API.”
“Create a thread in AI/ML API.”

Repetitive AI/ML API work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Product descriptions in your tone
Today
New stock needs descriptions, and writing them one by one is slow. Generic AI copy sounds nothing like you.
With Flann
“Write descriptions for the new candles using AI/ML API, in our usual style.”
Each draft is checked for missing details before you see it.
What you stop doing: You no longer write each description from a blank page.
Images for this week’s post
Today
You need a picture for a promotion. Making one means opening another app, trying prompt after prompt and downloading files.
With Flann
“Make three image options with AI/ML API for our weekend brunch post.”
Flann writes a clear brief from what you said and what it knows about your business, then asks AI/ML API for the images. The options arrive in the chat so you can pick one or ask for changes.
What you stop doing: No more wrestling with a design tool for a single picture.
