Made an AI assistant that lives in your Messages app

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?
