RCS Messaging Chatbot

Rich Communication Services (RCS) is a communication protocol between mobile-telephone carriers and between phone and carrier, aiming at replacing SMS messages with a text-message system that is richer, provides phonebook polling (for service discovery), and can transmit in-call multimedia. It is part of the broader IP Multimedia Subsystem. It is also marketed as Advanced Messaging, Chat, joyn, SMSoIP, Message+, and SMS+. — Wikipedia

In China, the telecom operators call the RCS a 5G Chatbot. (See: Chinese operators make major RCS commitment: Whitepaper, April 9, 2020)

Conclusion

What I’m thinking about is, if we build a Wechaty Puppet RCS, then our chatbot will be able to run both on the WeChat and the RCS without modify any code! Here’s the Wechaty Puppet RCS Wishlist: Enable RCS Support for Wechaty wechaty/wishlist#53
