WhatsApp channel
Send a crop photo or a voice note in any Indian language; the diagnosis returns as a voice note. This page simulates the production WhatsApp Business flow. One smartphone can serve several households in a village.
The simulator follows the Meta Cloud API contract: quick replies are capped at three buttons, and media and voice notes match the production formats. Browser text-to-speech stands in for production voice notes.
How farmers reach this chat
A DLT-registered SMS carries the WhatsApp link to any handset, including basic feature phones. The farmer opens it on their own smartphone or the village sahayak’s.
Opens WhatsApp to the Twilio sandbox number with the join code prefilled. Send the message once to connect your phone, then send a crop photo or voice note to reach the live pipeline. Requires the sandbox to be enabled in the project’s Twilio console.
Production runs on the Meta WhatsApp Business Cloud API: inbound farmer photos and OPUS voice notes arrive via webhook and feed the same Gemini pipeline shown here. Meta’s free test number can message only five OTP-verified phones and its token expires every 24 hours, so this page simulates the interface and provides the live wa.me link instead. The SMS invite requires TRAI DLT registration (entity, sender header, and template approval), which takes roughly one to two weeks and costs about ₹0.15–0.30 per message.
