What is an AI agent, in plain English?
An AI agent is software that takes actions on your behalf — not just answers questions. A chatbot answers; an agent does. TextMyAgent watches your inbox, drafts replies, schedules meetings, and texts you when something matters. You instruct it in plain text and it does the work.
I've never used an AI agent before. Is this a good place to start?
Yes — this is the easiest on-ramp I know of. You don't need to learn a new tool: if you can send a text, you can use it. You point the agent at the two things that already run your day (your email and your calendar) and you start working with it the same way you'd work with a sharp assistant. No prompt engineering. No "system context." No app to install.
What's the difference between this and ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a chatbot — you open the app, type a question, get an answer, and move on. TextMyAgent is an agent that lives on your actual email and calendar. It watches what comes in, drafts replies, books meetings, and texts you proactively. ChatGPT doesn't know who your boss is or what's on your calendar; this does.
What can it actually do today?
Surface only the emails worth your attention. Draft replies in your voice. Negotiate meeting times across multiple people. Forward anything (itinerary, contract, school flyer) and have it captured in your calendar or remembered. Give you a morning brief. Watch for a specific person's email and ping you the moment it lands.
What can't it do (yet)?
No voice calls yet. No iCloud Mail yet. No deep document editing (it can read and summarize attachments, not edit them). No autonomous outbound — every email goes out only with your okay. Most "can't" answers are "not yet" — we ship updates roughly every two weeks.
