Social & companion you can text on iMessage

Not every agent is a productivity tool. Some are meant to be good company or to handle the social stuff you'd rather not. Tomo is a personal AI that lives in your texts and talks like it belongs there. Sidekicks is an assistant you reach in iMessage or plain SMS with nothing to download. Folk plays the friend in your thread who quietly books the table, tracks the flight, and drafts the reply you're avoiding. Alfi is built for the group chat — an AI you add to the thread that actually does things instead of just talking. Behalf is the odd, honest one: an AI spokesperson that will send the message you can't, right down to delivering a breakup over iMessage. These agents blur assistant and companion, which is rather the point. This list is editor-curated, ordered on fit and substance rather than by who paid for placement.
