Rather than downloading another app, a growing number of agents can simply be texted like an ordinary person. You text it what you need, and it can remember context, connect to the apps and services you already use, and complete tasks on your behalf. That can mean scheduling an appointment, organizing a calendar, researching a trip, sending an email, making a reservation, shopping online, or reminding you about something days later. While Instinct is one of the buzziest AI agents at present, thanks to its $10 billion valuation after its latest funding round of $1 billion, there are many others also making a play for this space. Below are the most notable options so far, from general-purpose personal assistants to agents designed for families, travel, and work. Ask Proxy’s biggest differentiator is that it “thinks like a woman,” meaning it aims to anticipate your needs before you even ask. It works like a chatbot you can text like a friend, whether you need gift ideas, help planning an event, or recommendations for things to do that weekend. You can ask it to add important dates to your calendar, set reminders, or help with everyday decisions. You can also send it photos, like an empty table, to figure out how to decorate the table for a dinner party. Unlike a typical chatbot, Ask Proxy also takes a proactive approach. It can reach out when it notices something you might forget or when it comes across a new activity, restaurant, or experience you might enjoy. There’s also a work-focused version, which the company explains “gets employees back to work faster, while keeping personal data off company systems.” The personal version costs $1 per day. For businesses, pricing starts at $15 per employee per month for large companies and $23 per employee per month for small teams with fewer than 49 employees. Ask Proxy works over SMS. You can text “start” to 820-732-2625. Caddy is an AI assistant that turns the information scattered across your phone into things you can actually act on. It lives in iMessage for iPhone users and RCS for Android users, so there’s no separate app or inbox to constantly check. For instance, an email contains an appointment that needs to be added to your calendar or a friend sends a list of things to pick up. Instead of worrying about all the details getting buried, Caddy connects to your calendars and conversations, then identifies things that may require action. It can add events to your calendar, set reminders, keep track of follow-ups, and even do research for you. Caddy has been available in public beta since April 2026. Comma is designed to manage tasks across both work and everyday life. Comma carries tasks through to completion, checking its own work and determining when a task is finished. Completed work is surfaced for review when a decision or approval is needed. It also proactively notifies users and recommends the next steps. It can work across a user’s browser, computer, and files, while remaining accessible remotely through messaging apps such as Signal, Telegram, and WeChat. Comma maintains context and memory across devices and conversations, and can deliver daily briefings, flag urgent matters, and summarize recorded calls. Comma is free to start and open source. Fambot is an AI-powered “chief of staff” for families, designed to bring together the many moving parts of family life, including school communications, sports activities, meal planning, calendars, and other day-to-day responsibilities, and turn them into an organized plan. The service is designed to work across both an app and text messages. Fambot is available on iOS devices, Android devices, and the web, and families can also interact with it directly over SMS. Every night, Fambot automatically sends a summary of the following day, including upcoming events, to-dos, and detail.
