One credit equals one AI-generated group summary. The Settings page also shows per-group credit use over the last 30 days.

Cancelling changes the account to Free immediately. It does not delete summaries, memories, or reminders, but smaller caps can block groups above the Free limit.

Pause processing

Pause stops incoming event storage and summarisation. New events are dropped, not queued for later. Existing pending work waits until processing resumes.

Pause creates a real gap

WALAO records the missing coverage so later summaries can show that the window was incomplete.

Set your daily message

Choose a time and IANA timezone for the account's WhatsApp digest. This is separate from each group's summary schedule.

The daily message carries the selected pick and a link to Today. Interval pushes and relevant mention pings can still arrive outside this daily time.

Choose raw message retention

Set 1 to 30 days. WALAO stamps each stored message with its expiry time when the message is accepted.

Changing the value controls newly stamped retention and the purge process for message rows. It does not delete summaries, confirmed memories, or confirmed reminders.

Current beta limitation

Raw provider event payloads are stored in a separate ingestion table and processed rows do not currently follow the message retention timer.

Quality review and outbound consent

Quality review

Off by default. If enabled, WALAO operators may read summaries, but not raw messages, to review output quality. Turning it off ends that permission for future review.

Tier 1 outbound

Off by default. This advanced consent controls supported outbound sends from the paired number. Read the exact wording in Settings before authorising it.

Attestations

Settings lists the versions and times of important terms, gateway-risk, group-responsibility, and outbound permissions you accepted.

Export, log out, or delete

Export

Export downloads a JSON file with retained messages, summaries, memories, outbound recipients, retention, pause state, groups, and schedules.

The export is not complete yet

It omits some account data, including reminders, Today picks, item states, login identity, trials, and several consent or audit records.

Log out

Log out ends the current web session. It does not pause processing or disconnect WhatsApp.

Delete account

Typing DELETE removes the account's primary database records and destroys the wrapped account key. A content-free privacy audit record remains.

After deletion, also revoke the linked device from WhatsApp because account deletion does not prove that the upstream gateway session has ended.

Documentation for the current WALAO private beta. Use pause for a temporary stop and deletion only when you intend to leave.
