Summary Silva MD Bot is a comprehensive Node.js-based WhatsApp automation tool designed to enhance user interactions and group management. It targets WhatsApp users and administrators seeking to automate tasks, integrate AI, manage groups effectively, and leverage media download capabilities directly within WhatsApp via chat commands. The bot offers a streamlined, command-driven experience with extensive functionality and robust group protection.

How It Works The bot connects to WhatsApp using the Baileys library, accessible via QR code or session ID, enabling deployment on various platforms without app installations. It features a self-hosted media API powered by yt-dlp for efficient downloads from popular platforms. Interactions are managed through a command-line interface offering over 90 distinct commands.

Quick Start & Requirements Deployment options include one-click integrations on platforms like Heroku, Railway, and Koyeb, or manual setup via git clone, npm install, and node index.js. A Node.js 20.x runtime is required. Users must obtain a WhatsApp session ID from a provided link (https://silva-session-selector.vercel.app/) and configure essential environment variables like SESSION_ID and OWNER_NUMBER.
