# What people ask their agents about WhatsApp > Once your agent can read the chats you choose, you can ask it about your WhatsApp. Here is what people ask, how to ask it well, and what Circles prepares so the answer comes back fast. **Circles gives your AI agent the WhatsApp chats you choose, ready to use:** voice notes as text, files ready to open, senders by name. People use it with Instinct, Claude, ChatGPT and Codex to catch up on busy groups, read voice notes, find files, get a morning digest and reply where they allow it, on a Free plan for 2 chats or Pro at $29 a month (₪99 in Israel), with 14 days of Pro free, as of October 2026. Source: https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases · Updated 2026-10-27 ## Pick the job Each page has requests you can copy, an example answer, and which agents do it best. - **[Summarize busy WhatsApp groups](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/summarize-whatsapp-groups)**: "What did I miss in the building group?" in a few lines, voice notes included, without reading 300 messages. - **[Voice notes your agent can read](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/voice-note-transcription)**: Every voice note Circles holds is transcribed automatically and searchable. Your agent quotes what was said. - **[Find files and documents](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/find-files-and-documents)**: "Find the contract Avi sent in June." The agent lists the documents in your chats and opens the one it needs. - **[A daily WhatsApp digest](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/daily-digest)**: One short catch-up across the chats you pick: decisions, dates, questions waiting for you. - **[Reply with permission](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/reply-with-permission)**: Let the agent write in the chats you open for sending, with a daily cap and a log of every send. - **[Parents and school groups](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/parents-and-school-groups)**: Trip dates, payments, what to bring tomorrow. The three things you need from 200 messages. - **[A small business on a personal number](https://usecircles.app/en/use-cases/small-business)**: Who asked for a quote, what a customer said last week, who is still waiting for you. ## How a good request looks Your agent does the thinking. A request that names four things gets a sharp answer on the first try. 1. **Which chats.** Name the group or person the way it appears in your WhatsApp: "the Oak Street parents group", "Avi". Or say "all my open chats". 2. **Since when.** "Since Sunday", "the last 3 days", "since my last message there". Without a time, the agent has to guess how far back to read. 3. **What you want back.** "Decisions and dates only", "a list of open questions", "one line per chat". 4. **What to do next, if anything.** "Draft a reply, do not send", or "send it" in a chat you opened for sending. | Instead of | Try | | --- | --- | | "Summarize my WhatsApp" | "What changed in the parents group and the building group since Sunday? Decisions and dates only." | | "Did anyone message me?" | "Which chats have messages since yesterday evening, and is anyone asking me something?" | | "Find the PDF" | "Find the PDF Avi sent in June about the lease and tell me the renewal date." | | "Answer Dana" | "Draft a reply to Dana saying Thursday works. Show me before you send." | Your agent cannot see a chat you did not open. Ask for one and Circles tells it, by name, which chats *are* open, so it can tell you. [How permissions work](https://usecircles.app/en/security). ## Which agent for which job Every agent sees the same chats, and gets the tools it may use: the send tool appears only to an agent allowed to send. They differ in where you talk to them. - **[Instinct](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/instinct)**: You ask from WhatsApp, about WhatsApp, in a WhatsApp message. Best for quick asks while you are out. - **[Claude](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/claude)**: On the web, desktop and phone. Good for long catch-ups, reading PDFs, and mixing WhatsApp with your other connectors. - **[ChatGPT](https://usecircles.app/en/agents/chatgpt)**: Ask about your chosen chats next to everything else you already do in ChatGPT. Also Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok and your own agent through the API: [all agents](https://usecircles.app/en/agents). ## Questions and answers ### What can an AI agent do with my WhatsApp? With Circles, an agent can read and search the chats you open, read voice notes as text, find and open files, and list who is in a group. It can send only in chats you opened for sending, within a daily cap. ### Can AI read photos and documents from WhatsApp chats? Circles hands the agent the file itself, up to 50 MB, and the agent reads it. Circles does not run OCR or describe images, so how well a photo or PDF is read depends on your agent. ### How do I search all my WhatsApp chats with AI? Connect your agent to Circles and ask. The `search` tool looks through every chat you opened, including what was said in voice notes. ### Which agent works best with WhatsApp? Any MCP client works with Circles. Instinct is the quickest on the go because you ask it from WhatsApp. Claude and ChatGPT are good for long catch-ups and files. ### How much does it cost? Circles is free for 2 chats, $9.90 a month on Starter for up to 5, or $29 a month on Pro (₪99 in Israel) for every chat and sending. Everyone starts with 14 days of Pro free. Your agent's own plan is separate. ## Keep reading - [What Circles is](https://usecircles.app/en/whatsapp-mcp): The hosted WhatsApp MCP for your personal number, in one page. - [Connect your agent](https://usecircles.app/en/agents): Instinct with one tap and a send, Claude and ChatGPT with one address and an approval. - [Pricing](https://usecircles.app/en/pricing): Free, Starter or Pro, every agent, 14 days of Pro free. --- 14 days free.
