One agent for a circle of friends: you text it a goal, it texts the people involved
Kachi is an AI agent you reach on iMessage. To start, tap one link. It messages you first rather than waiting to be asked.
How Kachi works
One agent for a whole circle of friends rather than one for you. You tell it what should happen and it texts the others, sorts it out and reports back: cinema this week, who is free Thursday, done, eight o'clock. The people it messages are talking to the same agent you are.
That design puts it in a small group here and gives it the two most awkward rows in the directory to fill, which it fills. Its policy answers the training question with a yes, saying conversations help make the agent better including training its own models, which four listings in this set say and most do not. And it addresses the people who never signed up rather than leaving them out: the conversation is private, the friends never see it, and small relevant things are shared with the circle because that is the product.
Whether a reader thinks that is a fair trade is a judgement, and this page does not make it. What it records is that both answers are published, dated and specific, which puts Kachi in the minority on both counts.
It is free and in beta, operated by Layers Labs Inc.
