WhatsApp Smart Reminder Bot (MVP)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Overview:
We are building an MVP of a Smart Reminder Assistant that works entirely through WhatsApp chat. The bot will allow users to register, subscribe to a plan, set reminders via a conversational flow, list upcoming reminders, receive notifications at the right time, and delete reminders.
The system will include a backend service for logic, scheduling, and data management, plus an admin web portal for management and monitoring.
MVP Scope
1. End User — WhatsApp Chat Interface
• Registration & Authentication:
o User initiates chat with the official WhatsApp number.
o Bot requests and verifies mobile number with OTP.
o Create a profile and store language preference (EN/AR).
• Subscription Management:
o Command to show current plan, usage, and limits.
o Payment/upgrade flow via secure payment link (Stripe or local payment gateway).
• Set Reminders (Chatbot Flow):
o AI/NLP-based parsing for action, date, time.
o Ask only for missing fields, handle relative time formats (“tomorrow 3 pm”).
o Send a confirmation message with quick reply buttons (Confirm / Cancel).
• Get / Show Reminders:
o User command (“my reminders” / “today’s reminders”).
o Bot returns a formatted list with quick actions for each reminder.
• Reminder Notifications:
o WhatsApp messages at scheduled time.
o Quick reply options: Done, Snooze 10m/30m/1h.
• Delete Reminder:
o By natural command or quick reply button.
o Bot confirms deletion.
2. Backend Services
• User management, authentication, and subscription tracking.
• Reminder creation, editing, deletion, and scheduling.
• NLP module for EN/AR intent and entity extraction.
• Notifications handling (WhatsApp API via Twilio/Meta Cloud API).
• Payment gateway integration for subscriptions.
• Multi-language support (EN/AR).
• Logging, error handling, and audit trails.
3. Admin Web Portal
• User Management: Search, view, deactivate users.
• Reminders Management: View, search, delete reminders.
• Subscription Management: Assign plans, monitor usage.
• System Configurations: API keys (Twilio, OpenAI), payment settings.
• Reports: Usage stats, reminders count, top users.
Tech Stack (Preferred)
• Backend: Node.js or Python (FastAPI / Django REST).
• Database: PostgreSQL or MongoDB.
• Admin Portal: React.js or Vue.js.
• WhatsApp API: Twilio API for WhatsApp or Meta WhatsApp Cloud API.
• NLP: OpenAI GPT-4 or similar for conversation handling.
• Hosting: Hostinger.
Deliverables
1. Fully functional WhatsApp-based MVP as per scope.
2. Secure backend with REST APIs.
3. Responsive admin web portal.
4. Deployment on our hosting.
5. Source code + basic documentation.
