Show HN: I built a tool to create AI agents that live in iMessage
Hey everyone, I made this thing: https://tryflux.ai/ Context: I've
tried probably 15 different AI apps over the past year. ChatGPT,
note-taking apps, productivity apps, all of it. But most of them
are just clutter on my iphone. They live in some app I have to
deliberately open. And I just... don't. But you know what I open 50
times a day without thinking? iMessage. So out of mild frustration
with the "AI app graveyard" on my phone, I built Flux. What it
does: - You describe a personality and what you want the agent to
do - In about 2 minutes, you have a live AI agent in iMessage -
Blue bars. Native. No app download for whoever texts it. The
thesis that got us here: AI is already smart enough. The bottleneck
is interaction. Dashboards get forgotten. Texts get answered. This
was also my first time hitting #1 on Product Hunt, which was
surreal. We're very early and probably broke something. If you try
it, feedback is super welcome, weird edge cases, "this doesn't
work," or "why would anyone use this" comments all help. That's
all. Happy to answer questions.
