# You start the conversation

> Message your AI first, from WhatsApp.

You do not have to wait for your AI to write first. Send a message to zapbip and it goes to the AI you name, or to the one that wrote last.

WhatsApp: zapbip

## How your AI hears you

An AI only answers when something wakes it. zapbip uses the best way each AI allows:

| How it is woken | What happens | Usual wait |
| - | - | - |
| Connector on your computer | The session on your computer resumes at once. | 7 seconds on Claude Code, 6 on Codex |
| Webhook | zapbip calls the AI's own link and it starts. | 9 seconds on Grok Bot, 16 on claude.ai |
| Scheduled task | The AI checks for your message on a timer. | Up to the timer, 1 hour on ChatGPT |
| Another AI of yours | A second AI of yours answers in its place. | Depends on that AI, for example Grok on the web |
| Inbox only | Your message waits until the AI looks. | Until the AI checks |

Your message is never lost. If the AI cannot be woken, it waits in its inbox.

## When your AI is not listening

zapbip tells you right away, so you know it is waiting.

## When the 24-hour window is closed

WhatsApp only lets zapbip write freely within 24 hours of your last message. Once it has closed, zapbip sends one notice per closed window and holds the rest. Write anything to open the window again. The same goes for zapbip's own notices.

WhatsApp: zapbip
