Clients message you all day.
Claude drafts the replies.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT what your clients asked today: it reads your WhatsApp and email, drafts replies with your rates and availability, and sends them from your own number when you say yes.

A freelancer's day

You're in a session, the messages pile up

Unlimited Messaging connects your WhatsApp, your mailbox and your SIM to Claude or ChatGPT: the assistant reads your client messages, drafts replies and sends them from your own accounts once you confirm.

Designer, consultant or fitness coach, you spend the day on projects or with clients. Meanwhile WhatsApp fills up: a quote request, a client who wants to move a session, a prospect asking for your rates. In the evening you go through them one by one.

With the Unlimited Messaging connector, you just ask Claude or ChatGPT: "What did my clients ask me today? Draft the replies." It reads your latest messages, writes each answer with your rates and open slots, and shows them to you. You tweak what you want, approve, and everything goes out from your own number.

Same idea for private tutors and salespeople. The channel is explained on the WhatsApp page.

What changes

What Unlimited Messaging changes for a freelancer

You keep your number and your address. The AI writes the first draft, you keep the final word.

  1. Claude or ChatGPT drafts your replies

    Tell it your rates, availability and tone once. It prepares replies that sound like you, and nothing goes out without your confirmation.

  2. One inbox for your clients

    WhatsApp, email and SMS in the same list in the web app. You see who is waiting for an answer without opening three apps.

  3. Automatic session reminders

    With n8n, every appointment in your calendar sends a reminder the day before by WhatsApp or SMS. Fewer no-shows, fewer lost sessions.

  4. Your accounts, for free

    Your WhatsApp number linked by QR code, your mailbox over IMAP/SMTP, your SIM through the Android app. No per-message fee on the free plan.

Good to know

Good habits to keep in mind

  1. The AI replies when you ask

    Claude or ChatGPT works inside your conversation and asks before sending. For a day-and-night auto-reply, n8n and the webhooks of paid plans take over.

  2. WhatsApp, for your real clients

    Write to people who contacted you or know you. Bulk messages to strangers get a number blocked, whatever the tool.
