How this report works
Only assistants whose catalog entry (checked 2026-10-26) lists WhatsApp as a channel, tested on at least five of the ten tests, are included; the other 3 WhatsApp assistants have fewer scores and are left out. They are ranked by the average of the tests they took. Scores come from the published score sheet and are dated 2026-10-27. 5 of the 9 ranked assistants (Luke, The Shadow, OpenClaw, Alfi by Text.ai and Lucas) carry pre-filled scores, which are placeholder estimates the site has not yet replaced with its own test runs, so treat their places as provisional. Muse, Town, Pally and tinyNature are not pre-filled.
How to choose
- Check that WhatsApp is a real channel for the whole product. Muse and The Shadow are app-plus-WhatsApp, Pally and OpenClaw run across several chat apps, so ask whether the features you need work in the WhatsApp chat itself.
- Read the tests that matter to you, not only the average: Town scores 10 on Connected apps and 9 on Email replies, while Luke's best are Travel booking (9) and Phone calls (8).
- Look at the free allowance before you commit: Town lists 30 chat messages a month on its free tier, Alfi's messaging channels are limited to 8 messages every 12 hours, and Pally lists almost unlimited use for free.

The agent, which Meta launched on September 8, booked a Friday date night and made a packing schedule for my upcoming move. It also emailed a friend about a trip next month and made a planning document with places we want to visit.
