Export the conversation you intend to use
Use WhatsApp’s own chat export controls and select only the relevant conversation. Keep the original file private, remove unrelated attachments, and never share account credentials, session data, or device backups.
Remove sensitive and third-party details
Review the export for addresses, financial information, health details, intimate content, workplace secrets, and messages about people who are not part of the persona. Less, cleaner source material is usually safer and easier to review.
Separate communication style from memories
ExChat identifies possible tone, vocabulary, humor, and pacing as editable personality guidance. Events and shared facts become separate memories that can be inspected, corrected, or deleted before they influence future replies.
Keep consent and AI disclosure visible
Creating a realistic persona of a living person requires their explicit permission. The finished conversation remains labeled as AI and must not be used for impersonation, harassment, or deceptive contact.
Continue in the mobile-first builder
Choose the person, import the authorized file, review extracted traits and memories, customize the avatar, and test sample replies. Sign-in happens at the end of the creation flow so you can begin without a separate marketing form.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can ExChat read my live WhatsApp messages?
No. You choose and upload a chat export. ExChat does not need your WhatsApp password or access to your live inbox.
Do I need permission to create a persona from a WhatsApp chat?
Yes for a realistic persona of another living person. Use only messages you are authorized to process and remove private information about third parties.
Is the finished chatbot the person from the chat?
No. It is an AI-generated persona that may approximate selected patterns and memories, but it is not the person and can produce inaccurate replies.
