WhatsApp + AI Setup in Kuwait — 2026 Guide | KuwaitAI

You need three things — plus a verified business number.

• WhatsApp Business API (via Meta or a BSP like 360Dialog)
• AI model (OpenAI / Anthropic / local)
• Glue layer (n8n, Node.js, Cloudflare Workers)

Steps

• 1) Register Meta Business account — requires a number not used on personal WhatsApp
• 2) Pick a BSP — 360Dialog (recommended), MessageBird, or Twilio
• 3) Verify business name — takes 1-3 days
• 4) Build AI layer — webhook receives message, sends to model, replies
• 5) Setup templates — messages outside the 24-hour window need approved templates
• 6) Test + launch

Cost in Kuwait

• BSP monthly: $30-100 (10-30 KWD)
• Meta per-conversation fee: ~0.08 KWD for Kuwait (24-hour window)
• AI API: 5-25 KWD/mo average
