What it does
WeChat Bot connects your messaging accounts to AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Kimi or a local Ollama model. When a message arrives from an approved friend or group, the AI writes and sends a reply.
It works with WeChat (by scanning a login QR code), Lark, Telegram and WhatsApp. It can also look through local WeChat chat history and use AI to summarise group or friend conversations.
The README warns that the WeChat connection uses unofficial methods that can lead to warnings or bans on your account, and advises using narrow allow-lists.
Who it's for
Technical users who want an AI auto-reply assistant in their chat apps.
