Verdict
Vibe-code the flow builder and CRM-lite inbox as a demo. Shipping a real ManyChat replacement depends on Meta more than on your prompts.
What you can rebuild
A flow builder UI (nodes for messages, conditions, delays) and a fake/demo channel that simulates conversations. Maybe one real channel if you get API approval.
What stays hard
Meta/WhatsApp business verification, template message rules, deliverability, and keeping automations compliant. Most 'ManyChat clones' die waiting on platform access.
Starter prompt
Build a ManyChat-inspired automation builder called ChatRoute. Visual flow editor: start trigger, send message, wait, condition on keyword, tag contact. Include a simulated Instagram DM inbox to test flows without Meta APIs. Contacts list with tags. Stack: Next.js, Tailwind, Supabase. Make the canvas usable (zoom, connect nodes).
Follow-up prompt
Add: export/import flows as JSON, analytics (flow started/completed), and a stub WhatsApp Cloud API adapter behind a feature flag with clear setup docs.
