SECTION 4: BUILDING MODELS AND CHAT FUNCTIONALITY
In this section, you will start building the core functionality of your WhatsApp application. You will begin by creating Django models to represent your application's data and defining their relationships. With the models in place, you will then start working on integrating the Open AI API prompts into your chat function, enabling your application to produce intelligent responses to incoming messages. Next, you will test the WhatsApp API by setting up a webhook to send and receive messages. You will use this to implement the chat session model and logic, which will enable your application to track conversations with individual users. With the chat session model in place, you will start working on the chat function that manages messages being sent and produces responses by interfacing with the chat session model.
