A family agent in your iMessage group chat, with a private agent for each person that talks to the others
Coral is an AI agent you reach on iMessage. To start, create an account.
How Coral works
Coral is built for a family rather than a person. It sits in the family's iMessage group chat, where anyone can @Coral to start a group order, assign a chore, set a reminder for everyone or keep score, and each person also gets a private Coral in their own thread. The private agents talk to each other and to the family one: a parent's Coral approves the cleats, a child's moves the pickup, a grandparent's books the eye exam.
What they share is the point. Location, calendars, to-dos, payment cards and logins for services like DoorDash, Instacart and Uber are pooled across the family, with roles deciding who sees what, allowances per person and purchases that need a parent's approval. Payments go through Crossmint, which holds the card details; browser tasks run on Browser Use.
The policy, dated 8 October 2026, says it makes no universal guarantee that what passes through it is kept out of model training, that cancelling does not erase anything, and that adding Coral to a family conversation does not count as parental consent for a child under 13. It names Photon as the company carrying its messages, alongside Apple.
It launched on 11 October 2026 at $20 a month for the whole family, from the team behind Result.
