Meta’s 2026 Rule: No General-Purpose AI Assistants on WhatsApp Business

Important: Every Omdaa product and feature — sessions, messages, Webhooks, Omdaa AI, MCP, mail, analytics — is 100% free forever with no artificial limits. No subscription, no credit card, no hidden tiers.

Through 2026, Meta’s direction is clear: WhatsApp Business AI should serve your bookings, catalog, and support — not host a general-purpose assistant as the main product. Scope the prompt, refuse off-topic asks, and keep a human path.

Safe scope template

“You only assist [Business]. Allowed: products, approved prices, shipping, appointments, order status. Off-topic: politely decline and offer a human. Never invent prices. Escalate refunds/anger immediately.”

  2. 50 off-topic test asks
  3. Documented human keyword
  4. Weekly audit of sensitive replies
  5. Separate test number

Can I still use GPT?
