In a country where over 500 million Indians use WhatsApp daily—from running their businesses to managing school groups and family logistics—it’s no surprise that our lives increasingly revolve around that one little green icon. But while WhatsApp makes communication effortless, scheduling? Not so much.
That’s where Waply comes in—a new AI-powered digital assistant built directly into WhatsApp, making it radically easier and faster to plan your day, manage your calendar, and stay on top of reminders without switching apps.
Whether it’s booking a quick meeting, setting a weekly reminder to call your parents, or inviting a colleague to review slides, Waply makes it 3x faster—and a whole lot simpler.
“Scheduling still means bouncing between your calendar, contacts, and messaging apps—often just to confirm one simple call,” says Karan Adhikari, CEO of Waply. “With the evolution of AI and how naturally people use WhatsApp, it felt like the perfect time to build something intuitive and powerful—right where people already are.”
What Waply Does (And Why It Feels Magical)
Waply uses AI to function like your personal executive assistant—without needing to download any app or learn a new interface. It lives inside WhatsApp and understands English and Hinglish, so you can simply message it like you would a human assistant.
And here’s the powerful part—you can interact with Waply via text, voice notes, or even by sending it screenshots of your chats with others. Got a group chat where a meeting was discussed? Just forward the image to Waply—it figures out what to schedule.
Here are a few things you can say to it:
“Remind me Monday and Thursday at 8 pm to call family.”
“Move tomorrow’s meetings to Friday.”
“Slides review at 4 pm tomorrow, invite Raj and Ram.”
Waply handles scheduling tasks like:
Setting up simple and recurring reminders
Adding or moving meetings in your calendar
Sending invites by just mentioning someone’s name
Sharing your availability through a personal link
Built by Founders Who Faced the Same Frustration
Waply was founded in 2024 by Karan Adhikari, a former founder and senior executive at Alibaba Group, and Shishir Rawat, a seasoned technologist who has built products across sectors during his time at Infosys, HSBC, and other global companies.
The idea came from their own day-to-day struggles as operators: even with AI evolving fast, just setting up a basic call still meant bouncing between your calendar app, email, and WhatsApp. So they asked—why not build an assistant directly into WhatsApp?
Today, Waply has users in 24 countries, including a growing base in India. It’s already helping people simplify the one thing we all struggle with: time.
Designed for the Way India Works
Waply isn’t trying to replace your calendar—it’s designed to fit naturally into how people already plan things in real life: quickly, conversationally, and often over WhatsApp.
It stands out by being:
App-free—nothing new to install
Interface-free—just use chat
Friction-free—no learning curve
“Waply is easy to use, easy to learn. It’s like you talking to your own secretary in WhatsApp,” adds Karan. “For some of our busiest users, it’s made scheduling 3–4 times faster.”
Users include:
Busy professionals managing packed schedules
Young families balancing work, school, and life admin
Micro-SMEs running operations and customer coordination via WhatsApp
Built with Privacy & Security in Mind
With experience in enterprise banking tech, the team behind Waply understands the importance of protecting sensitive data. Your calendar, reminders, and conversations stay private and secure, with encryption and minimal data use by design.
Try It Free
Waply offers a free trial, and is priced at ₹149/month after that—a simple, affordable way to get an assistant without adding to your screen time or app clutter.
What’s Next for Waply?
The team is actively building powerful new capabilities, including:
The ability to set reminders for others—friends, family, or teammates—without them needing to install anything
An AI coach inside WhatsApp to help users stay on track with personal goals, habits, and motivation—making daily productivity feel more human
B2B use cases for micro and small businesses who rely on WhatsApp to manage customers, appointments, and operations
The broader vision? To make Waply feel less like a tool, and more like a person you trust—someone who helps you stay organized, focused, and ahead.
If WhatsApp is the new workplace, living room, and family planner rolled into one—Waply might just be your new team member.
