How to do it

  1. 1

    Set up your Shmooz account

    Go to Get started, open WhatsApp, and send the private message that Shmooz fills in. Return to the signup page and choose a plan. If you’re eligible for a trial, the checkout shows when billing starts and what you’ll pay.

  2. 2

    Link your WhatsApp inbox

    Send /profile to Shmooz, open the private profile link, and select WhatsApp Assistant. In Connection, choose On this phone for a code or Scan a QR if you’re viewing your profile on another screen. In WhatsApp on your phone, open Settings → Linked devices → Link a device. Enter the code or scan the QR, then wait for Shmooz to show Connected.

  3. 3

    Choose when Shmooz should reply

    Open WhatsApp Assistant → Settings. Start with suggestions or approval if you want to review replies. If you enable automatic replies, write rules for when Shmooz should respond. Set quiet hours and exclude conversations you don’t want it to handle.

  4. 4

    Ask about your chats

    In your conversation with Shmooz, try “What needs my attention today?” or “Find the address Ada sent for tomorrow’s meeting.” You can name a contact, give their number, or add a date to narrow the search. If Shmooz finds several contacts, tell it which one you mean.

  5. 5

    Draft, review, and send

    Try “Tell Ben I’ll send the proposal before tomorrow’s meeting.” Check the recipient and proposed message on the approval card. Ask for a revision if needed, then tap Send. You can also open Activity in your profile and review the incoming message and draft together before sending.

  6. 6

    Follow up, pause, or disconnect

    Ask Shmooz to set a reminder or schedule a follow-up. Review queued work in Schedules and check sent replies in Activity. To stop assistant replies temporarily, pause the assistant in Settings. To remove the linked device, open Connection in your profile and choose Disconnect.

Pro tips

  • •History search covers synced conversations. If an older message is missing, forward it to Shmooz or provide a date and the chat name.
  • •If the profile says Reconnecting, give the existing link time to recover. Open Connection if the profile asks you to pair again.
  • •Video generation uses separate video credits. You can keep asking questions or generating other content in the same Shmooz chat.
