FAQ
Q: Do I need a public server?
No. nexu connects via the WhatsApp Web protocol — no public IP or callback URL required.
Q: Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
No. A personal WhatsApp account works just fine.
Q: Will this affect my normal WhatsApp usage?
No. nexu connects as a linked device, exactly like using WhatsApp Web on a computer. Your phone continues to work normally.
Q: What if my computer is off — can the Agent still reply?
The nexu client needs to be running. As long as nexu is running in the background (and your computer isn't asleep), the Agent will be online 24/7 to reply to WhatsApp messages.
