Building a WhatsApp Chatbot with Python, Twilio, and EC2: Introducing ChatGPT WhatsApp Bot

Hello, Guys, I am Spidy. I am back with another video.

In this video, I am showing you how you can build a ChatGPT WhatsApp chatbot using Python, Twilio, and AWS EC2.

## We have used:
- Ngrok and Flask as a server.
- Twilio as a WhatsApp agent.
- ChatGPT API for generating responses.
- Flask App as API for Request/Response model.
- AWS EC2 for deployment (24/7 running).

----------------- Commands -----------------
# Run Chatbot permanent
[Close Terminal, the app will run as a service for permanent]

# Stop Chatbot
ps -ef (Get process ID from here)
kill [id]

Great tutorial, thank you alot. You explain eveyrhting .

[PoorviAgrawal-ch]

I kind of did this with just python and whatsapp api and facing a problem.
Each time I change the access token On sending a message I get the error - Recipient not allowed in the list for which gets resolved on the recipient_waid variable name and running again. Can you something as why it might be happening?

Great video, thanks!! This sandbox is for test right? What if I want to build this bot for a commercial scale using my company’s number? I watched many tutorials but didn’t get this part yet

This is such an amazing video, thank you so much for making this! However, I have a few questions, how do I store the chat history so the users can reply in context of the previous message? Do I need to create a metadata to feed into the LLM? Also, could you give more insights on how to replace ngrok with ec2 itself? Or if you have already made a video, it would be great to drop the link here. Once again, thank you so much for this video!

Thank you, Bro! Wonderful video. I am successfully able to run my custom-built Whatsapp bot with this approach in EC3. I have a couple of questions,
1. Is there any alternate way other than running with ngrok? Because if ngrok process stops for any reason, then I need to re-run it, copy the new URL and put it on the Twilio Sandbox. Since ngrok addresses chances every time, I am worried. It would be better to use a constant url in Twilio
2. I am planning to give my WhatsApp bot to 100 users next week. Will EC2 free tire be able to handle requests of 100 people? Or do I need to upgrade to a higher instance?

Hi, in the video timeline from minute 9:05 to 9:20, it looks like you put the "CMOD" and "SSH Key" to your cloud shell/terminal. Did you put that to your local computer terminal or to the EC2 Cloud shell? I could not add/put those files to the EC2 cloud shell. I don't know why, Please and appreciate your help. Thank you so much for the great video.

i have a question if multiple requests will come then there is a chance of getting response of a request made by another person to multiply users?

[vinception]

Interesting but you don't need to use Ngrok right ? You could have used the EC2 public address no ?

[NooStrategy]

We don't get to have the OPENAI_API_KEY set to the ENV we're hardcoding it. And I don't get to see the endpoints in NGrok. Also given I cannot get to keep permanently the API KEY stored, we cannot use the Public IP address instead of NGROK. Thanks ! Great Video!

[fajr.abbasi]

Hi, Is there any way to keep updating tunnel url in twilio sandbox? means can we automate it in python as the ngrok forwarding tunnel url expires in 12 hrs and updated with a new one. Thanks and Great very informative and well described videos.

[francescofavaro]

does this chatbot includes its own database or do we have to add it later?

[akshaysoni]

Hi, I’m confused why we need ngrok, can’t we pass ec2 ip directly to twilio?

[stephanreichmannvideos]

hey friend, love your content. one question, can i make a custom ChatGPT WhatsApp chatbot deploy on WhatsAp? like, trains the chat to awenser my questions about a specific subject?

[candyman]

Thanks for your video. Can you explain why you need a ngrok here? I can use the ip address directly, right?

[wmmneqi]

I've written the code in Google colab. Do I need to follow the same steps ?

[krishnamohangupta]

Hi.. I get response on ubuntu but on whatsapp I am not getting any response... like when I type hi.. it says hello on ubuntu (putty), but on whatsapp I get no reply...
Please help

[NaazimHussain]

Thanks. It's perfectly working. How do you update the mobile number with "Chatgpt chatbot" name?

[tmnarayana]
