Short answer

How can I change my WeChat account's menu structure using AI?

Your AI uses specific tools to pull your current menu, build a new structure, or delete the old one. You get full control over what users see when they open your account without touching the WeChat backend manually.

Where every change lands.

Menu management outcomes

The AI handles the technical API calls to update your account interface.

READ

Current menu view

The AI uses get_custom_menu to see exactly what your current buttons and links look like.

WRITE

New menu layout

Your AI builds a fresh structure and pushes it live using create_custom_menu.

REMOVE

Clean slate

If you need to start over, the AI uses delete_custom_menu to clear out the existing navigation.

REVIEW

Human approval

You decide if the new menu looks right before you commit to any permanent changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.
