>be me>live with my dad>got a bunch of nice houseplants that actually make the house look decent>problem: dad is a complete fucking retard when it comes to remembering anything>comes home to see half the plants looking like they went through the Sahara every couple weeksI want to set up a simple WhatsApp chatbot that basically acts as a plant nanny for him:- Keeps track of all the plants + their watering/light schedules- Sends him friendly but firm reminders at the right times ("hey, the monstera needs water")- Asks him to send a quick photo of the soil or the plant- Gives him easy step-by-step instructions when he gets the reminder- Logs when he actually did it so it doesn't bug him too soon- Bonus: light roasting if he ignores it for too long, or positive reinforcement when he does it rightI know nothing about coding or bots. 1) Is this even possible for a brainlet like me?2) What's the easiest way in 2026? Some no-code service, Twilio, whatsapp-web.js, or something else?3) How do I make it not get my number banned?4) Anyone done something similar for family members (reminders for meds, chores, pets, etc.)?Pic related: current state of my poor snake plantHelp me save my plants from boomer negligence, /diy/. I just want the house to not look like a graveyard.

>>2995258i researched it and it looks like you can do this in whatsapp business, but it costs 2 cents per message lolelse you can at max schedule one message for free
>>2995256Why wouldn't you make an automatic watering system instead of nagging your old dad? You can even buy retardcore systems for dekinai people such as yourself, but obviously you can also make much better ones.
