Messaging Agents

AI agents that remind you to do things

Reminders sound trivial and are not. It sounds trivial and it is not, because a reminder is the simplest possible version of the agent reaching out to you first, and that turns out to be the thing people are willing to pay for.

Agents that state this

What the claim actually covers

Two products in this directory independently arrived at charging for proactivity rather than capacity. One gates unlimited proactive actions at $49 a month against limited at $35. Another gives the conversation away free and charges for the unprompted check-in. When two teams reach the same unusual pricing axis separately, it is worth taking seriously.

The design question underneath is restraint. An agent that reminds you of everything is noise, and an agent in your Messages thread is competing with your friends for attention. The products that handle this well decide what is worth interrupting you for, which is a judgement problem rather than a scheduling one.

What these connect to

Named by the agents that state this capability. An agent that names none is not necessarily unconnected, it may simply not say.

What people have posted about these

Everything people have got these agents to do · The argument in public

Other jobs people hand over

Most of these agents do several of these, so the same product turns up under more than one.

Building one instead? The infrastructure side is a separate half of this site: every provider that carries these messages, what they charge, and what the headline price leaves out. The guides cover getting an agent into iMessage, WhatsApp and SMS.
