Zapia

Zapia is a startup based in Uruguay specializing in artificial intelligence solutions. Recently, the company was in the news for successfully challenging Meta's policy that restricted third-party AI companies from using WhatsApp as general-purpose chatbots. Zapia's legal strategy involved presenting their case to Brazil's competition authority, CADE, which initially favored them by allowing continued operations on the platform. However, a subsequent ruling by a Brazilian federal judge reversed this decision, prompting Zapia to collaborate with legal experts to address the new challenges.
