Chattree lives in your WhatsApp group. It answers what members ask from what you have taught it, welcomes people who join, writes a short summary of the week, and remembers what has been settled so you are not explaining the same thing every month. You run all of it from WhatsApp — message Chattree directly and send /help to see what it can do — or from the dashboard, whichever suits what you are doing.

Teach your group

Where a group’s answers come from, and the two places you add to them.

Say something to your group

Post your own message through Chattree, with limits that keep a group from muting you.

Collect contributions

Post your account in the group once, and keep track of who has paid.

Dashboard

Each group’s workflow, settings, knowledge and members.

What it does without being asked

Chattree posts unprompted in a few cases, and each one is yours to turn off:
  • An introduction, once, when it joins — only after you reply yes in your chat with it.
  • A welcome, when somebody joins.
  • An answer to a question nobody answered, after 30 minutes, and only when what you taught it answers the question directly. It quotes the member’s message, and stays out of it when anyone replies to the question or when you or an admin speak in the group. At most twenty a week.
  • The weekly roundup, a short summary of what the group got into. It can come to you for approval first, or post on its own.
  • A question for a quiet group, when nobody has said anything for five days — one question for members, from what the group is for, never a price or a date. It comes to you first unless you choose otherwise, is dropped if the group starts talking, and is not repeated if nobody answers.
  • Dates coming closer, when you have told it something is coming.
Chattree answers each member in the language they wrote in — English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or French — unless you choose one language for the group under Reply in on its page. Your own welcome message and announcements are always sent exactly as you wrote them. It also tells you, privately, when a member seems to need you — a complaint, a dispute about money, someone’s safety, or members falling out. It says nothing in the group about these; the decision is yours. At most five a day per group. Everything unprompted is limited — by the group’s quiet hours, by how often the number it shares with other groups may post at all, and by a per-group ceiling on each kind. Those limits exist to keep the number healthy; a group that is posted at too often is a group that mutes you.
