AI agents you can text now handle tasks, reminders and bookings

Why it matters for readers: If you like convenience, these agents let you get things done by texting instead of learning a new app.

AI agents run inside text messages so you can interact with them like a friend instead of downloading an app.1
They remember context and connect to apps and services you already use to complete tasks such as scheduling, reservations, email and shopping.1
Some agents take a proactive approach, reaching out when they notice something you might forget or can help with.1
Examples include Ask Proxy, which offers anticipatory help and can handle things like adding dates to calendars or suggesting event plans.1
The space is drawing attention from high-value startups, with Instinct noted as a particularly buzzy example after a large funding round.1
