I kept getting annoyed switching between apps just to check email, look at my calendar, or find a file in Drive. So I built something simple: an AI assistant you text.
How it works:
* You get a dedicated number
* Text it like a normal person: “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
* Hooks into your Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive, etc.
* Works on any phone (RCS). No app download.
What makes it different:
* It keeps a persistent session so context carries across messages
* If you want a fresh thread, just start with “new chat”
* Your actual messages are stored privately, but the system keeps a *clean, anonymized parallel thread* for the AI — e.g.,
*“Lisa’s birthday at 1234 Main St on Sept 14 at 7pm”*
becomes
*“Party on Sept 14 at 7pm”*
The assistant then re-fetches the real details from your calendar when you ask.
* Basically you get two threads: your real one in Messages and a stripped-down version the AI uses for logic and memory
* RCS support today (iMessage obviously not possible)
Examples:
* “Any important emails?” → shows your key Gmail messages
* “Send me the Q3 proposal” → pulls it from Drive
* Others can text your number to check when you’re free (you whitelist who can)
*Early access is $5* (locks in $7/mo forever vs $10/mo).
What features would make this something you’d actually use?
