WhatsApp Knowledge Miner: Transforming Group Chats into a Searchable Knowledge Base

In today's fast-paced digital communication landscape, WhatsApp has become a central hub for group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and knowledge sharing. However, the transient nature of these conversations often leads to valuable insights being lost amidst the chat clutter. Enter the WhatsApp Knowledge Miner, a tool designed to extract, organize, and transform your WhatsApp group chats into a structured, searchable knowledge base.

Project Overview

The WhatsApp Knowledge Miner is an open-source application that bridges the gap between unstructured WhatsApp group chats and structured knowledge management. By leveraging the WhatsApp Business API and advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques, the application captures messages, analyzes their content, and converts them into question-answer pairs that can be easily searched and referenced.

🧩 Core Components
1. WhatsApp Bridge

The WhatsApp Bridge serves as the interface between your WhatsApp account and the application. It connects to your WhatsApp account and securely stores messages in a local SQLite database.

Setup:

cd whatsapp-bridge
go run main.go
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Upon running, scan the QR code displayed to log in (similar to WhatsApp Web). The application will then begin capturing messages from your WhatsApp groups.

  1. Message Capture and Storage**

Captured messages are stored in a local SQLite database, ensuring that all data remains secure and accessible. This local storage approach facilitates easy retrieval and analysis of messages without relying on external servers.

*3. Message Processing Server
*

The message processing server analyzes the captured messages to identify key information, such as questions and answers. Using NLP techniques, it extracts relevant content and organizes it into structured data.

*4. Streamlit Web Interface
*

The Streamlit web interface provides a user-friendly platform to interact with the processed data. Users can search for specific questions and view the corresponding answers, making it easy to access valuable information from past discussions.
