Don't they ban people using custom clients when discovered? I feel like I've read something on that note.

They do - but the utility is so high vs the risk (for a new number) that it’s worth doing anyway for many users and even organizations.

Just yesterday we spoke with a $50-100m ARR org org using baileys for internal messaging!

Couldnt they just use post-it notes internally and still be a $50-100m ARR org?

Yes - the interesting part is the decision that the “risk of losing internal comms to a ban is worth it” - even at that size.

According to one of the founders there’s no better way for them to reach a lot of low-skill part-time employees reliably.

It shows the need to bring AI to where people already are and onto the platforms they already use.
