## 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)

||||||

|
||||||

└─────────────────┘ └────────┬────────┘
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
│ 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).
