How to Use Image Recognition on Twilio WhatsApp API

What's this blog post about?

In this project, a WhatsApp chatbot is created using the Twilio WhatsApp API, Flask web framework, and Clarifai's image recognition API. The chatbot receives an image message from a user, sends it to the Clarifai API for analysis, and then returns the tags associated with the image as a response. The project involves setting up a development environment, configuring the Twilio and Clarifai APIs, and writing Python code to integrate these services. The chatbot is tested by sending an image message from a WhatsApp sandbox number, which prints the predicted tags on the console and sends them back to the user as a WhatsApp message. This project demonstrates how to use image recognition to analyze media content sent via WhatsApp and provides a starting point for further image recognition projects.
