WhatsApp is where you already talk to everyone else, GAIA fits right in. Text it in plain language, send a voice note, or forward a document, and it handles the rest.

​
Getting started

1

Open a chat with GAIA

Message GAIA at wa.me/12762088737. You’ll get a welcome message the first time you write.
2

Link your GAIA account

Send /auth. You’ll get a link, tap it, sign in, and your account is connected.
3

Just type

Every message you send goes straight to GAIA. No command prefix needed.

​
What you can do

Talk to GAIA in plain language, or use the same commands as the other bots: For the complete reference, see the Bot Commands Reference.

​
Voice notes and files

  • Voice notes are transcribed automatically and treated as your message, talk instead of typing.
  • Photos and documents are uploaded to GAIA so you can ask questions about them.
  • Videos and stickers aren’t supported, GAIA will let you know politely.

​
Good to know

  • Responses arrive as complete messages rather than streaming in, and GAIA sends a new message instead of editing, that’s how WhatsApp’s API works.
  • Formatting uses WhatsApp’s native markdown (bold, italic), with a 4,096-character limit per message.
  • Start fresh when switching topics. Send /new to clear conversation context.
