    Sure, as a community manager of a technical group I want to: * Track most active users in a period (day/week/month) * Track which users post/react the most * Know (and now it is possible, but not implemented) who is 'lurking' just reading messages * Summarize content and frequently asked questions to help users in the future * Check which channels (groups inside a WhatsApp community) are most active and how many messages were posted in each channel in a specific period (day/week/month) * Track (external) links posted to communities, how common they were, which users posted these links -- The tools: - A WhatsApp bot capturing all events in the group (reactions, messages, etc) - A (same) WhatsApp bot to onboard new users in the community, check your membership, talk to - A web application where the community member can check their membership + admin panel for me to check the stats mentioned above, think of it like a circle.so but built for my specific case. -- The tech stack: 1/ a WhatsApp instance running on web, I'm doing this because WhatsApp oficial APIs do not support the "communities" -> I use Z-api [1] but you can use something like Baileys and self host [2] 2/ Elixir running on a simple machine 3/ OpenAI/Claude for summarization and topic extraction [1] Z-API https://www.z-api.io/ https://www.z-api.io/ [2] Baileys https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys
