## Prerequisites: The Two-Phone Setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** You need a **separate phone number** for your AI assistant. Here's why and how:
|
||||
|
||||
### Why a Dedicated Number?
|
||||
|
||||
warelay uses WhatsApp Web to receive messages. If you link your personal WhatsApp, *you* become the assistant - every message to you goes to Claude. Instead, give Claude its own identity:
|
||||
|
||||
- 📱 **Get a second SIM** - cheap prepaid SIM, eSIM, or old phone with a number
|
||||
- 💬 **Install WhatsApp** on that phone and verify the number
|
||||
- 🔗 **Link to warelay** - run `warelay login` and scan the QR with that phone's WhatsApp
|
||||
- ✉️ **Message your AI** - now you (and others) can text that number to reach Claude
|
||||
|
||||
### The Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Your Phone (personal) Second Phone (AI)
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Your WhatsApp │ ──────▶ │ AI's WhatsApp │
|
||||
│ +1-555-YOU │ message │ +1-555-CLAWD │
|
||||
└─────────────────┘ └────────┬────────┘
|
||||
│ linked via QR
|
||||
▼
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Your Mac │
|
||||
│ (warelay) │
|
||||
│ Claude Code │
|
||||
└─────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The second phone just needs to stay on and connected to the internet occasionally (WhatsApp Web stays linked for ~14 days without the phone being online).
