About Pipes.bot
The safe way to connect AI agents to WhatsApp
Why We Built Pipes.bot
Developers building AI agents face a frustrating choice when it comes to WhatsApp: use unofficial libraries like Baileys that risk permanent account bans, or navigate Meta's complex tech provider onboarding process that can take weeks. Neither option is acceptable when you just want your agent to send and receive messages reliably.
Pipes.bot was created to eliminate that tradeoff. We provide a managed bridge to Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API that any developer can set up in minutes — no reverse engineering, no exposed ports, and no risk of losing your phone number.
What We Do
Pipes.bot sits between your self-hosted AI agent and WhatsApp's official Cloud API. Your agent connects outbound to our service via WebSocket or webhook — meaning your server stays completely private behind your firewall. We handle message routing, offline queuing, media support, and webhook security so you can focus on building your agent, not managing infrastructure.
Whether you use Pool Numbers for quick personal setups or Bring Your Own Number (BYON) for business-grade messaging, every message flows through Meta's official API. No exceptions.
Who We Are
Tulio Faria
Founder & Developer
Tulio is a software engineer with over 15 years of experience building developer tools, APIs, and real-time systems. After watching developers lose their WhatsApp accounts to unofficial automation libraries, he built Pipes.bot to give the AI agent community a safe, compliant path to WhatsApp — without the complexity of becoming a Meta tech provider. He personally responds to every inquiry at hi@pipes.bot.
The Company
Pipes.bot is operated by ID49 Digital LLC, a company focused on building developer infrastructure for messaging and AI. We are registered as a tech provider with Meta, which means our users skip the entire WhatsApp Business API onboarding process. Our infrastructure runs on CockroachDB and AWS, with real-time WebSocket connections managed on our own servers.
What We Believe
Privacy First
We never store message content. Messages in transit are not persisted, and offline queues are deleted upon delivery. Your conversations are yours.
No Shortcuts
Every message flows through Meta's official API. We don't use reverse-engineered protocols, and we never will. Compliance is not optional.
Developer Experience
Setup should take minutes, not weeks. We handle the infrastructure complexity so developers can focus on building great AI agents.
Transparency
Simple pricing, clear terms, and honest communication. We publish our privacy policy and terms of service in plain language.
