ka is an ai personal assistant you text on iMessage. it runs your email, docs and calendar, sends reminders before you ask, and makes plans with your friends' ka's.

does ka work on iMessage?

yes. you save the number ka gives you and text it like you'd text anyone. the replies come back as blue bubbles in the same thread.

you sign up, you get a number, you text it. ka works out what you actually want, does it, and tells you what changed. it remembers your past texts, so you never re-explain yourself.

do i need to download an app?

no. ka is a number in the messages app that's already on your iphone.

does ka work on android?

yes. ka is built for iMessage and that's where most people use it, but if you're on android it falls back to green bubbles and works the same way. you just miss the imessage-only extras like typing indicators and read receipts.

how much does ka cost?

$19 a month, flat. that's the whole price, billed monthly. you can cancel any time from your account and you keep access through the end of the month you've paid for.

how is ka different from chatgpt?

chatgpt is a chat window you open and type into. ka lives in iMessage, next to your actual friends, and it goes and does things: books the thing, moves the meeting, sends the reminder before you ask. it also remembers you between conversations without being asked.

what can ka actually do?

you connect google calendar, gmail, sheets, docs, and drive, and ka works inside them. booking and moving events, reading and sorting your email, keeping trackers up to date, writing up a whole doc, finding a file and texting you the link. it reads photos you send, searches the web, and remembers details about your people and plans. text it what you want and it'll either do it or tell you it can't.

can i send ka a photo?

yes. send a picture and ka reads what's in it, then does the thing. a receipt goes into your expenses sheet with the right total and merchant, a flyer or invite becomes a calendar event, a whiteboard list becomes rows. you can add a caption or send the photo on its own. if part of it is too blurry to read, ka tells you instead of guessing.

what apps does ka connect to?

google calendar, gmail, google sheets, google docs, and google drive today, each connected in one tap from your account page. connect only the ones you want. ka only touches them when you ask it to, and you can disconnect any of them at any time without cancelling.

is my phone number safe?

yes. we never sell, rent, or share your phone number with advertisers or data brokers. we use it to text you and nothing else, and you can delete your account and your data whenever you want. see the privacy policy for the details.

any time, in a couple of clicks, no email or phone call required. there's no cancellation fee and no minimum term. you keep ka until the end of the period you already paid for, then it stops.

what happens when my friends have ka too?

your assistants talk to each other. instead of a twelve-message group chat about when everyone's free, your ka and your friends' ka's work out the time and the place and each of you just gets a confirmation. that's where the product is going.

an ai assistant that lives in your iMessage

an iMessage ai assistant is an ai agent you reach by texting a number in your messages app. you text it in plain english and it does the task in your calendar, inbox or docs. ka is one: $19 a month, blue bubbles in the thread you already use.

how it works

you sign up once on the web and connect the accounts you want it touching, usually gmail and google calendar. after that you never open a website again. you get a number, you save it as a contact, and you text it the way you would text anyone.

when a message arrives, ka reads it in the context of everything you have said before, decides which of its tools apply, and uses them. then it texts you back with what it did. most requests are finished before you have put your phone down.

why iMessage instead of an app

the hard part of a personal assistant is not capability, it is whether you reach for it. a new app asks you to build a habit before it can help, and most people never do. iMessage is the habit you already have, so an assistant that lives there gets used on the days you are too busy to be organised, which are exactly the days it matters.

what that buys you:

nothing to learn. you type what you want, in whatever words you'd use with a person.
nothing to install. it's a contact in your phone, so there's no app to update or break.
it can reach you first. a reminder arrives as a text, in the app you already look at, not as a notification you swipe away.

it messages you first

most assistants wait to be asked. ka watches the accounts you connect and texts you when something needs you: the email that actually matters, the thing you said you'd do on thursday, the conflict that just appeared on your calendar. you found out without opening anything.

what it can actually do

the useful ones are agents, meaning they have real tools wired to real accounts. ka connects to gmail, google calendar, sheets, docs and drive, so a request ends with something changed in an account you own. it also keeps a long-term memory of your people and preferences, so “book the usual place with sam” resolves without explanation.

and when your friends have ka too, the assistants talk to each other. instead of a group chat about who is free thursday, your ka and theirs work it out and you each get a confirmation.

the limits are real. a message thread is a bad place for anything long or visual. ka handles the admin of your life; it doesn't replace a laptop.

common questions

what is an iMessage ai assistant?

an iMessage ai assistant is an ai agent you reach by texting a number in your messages app. you send a normal message, it works out what you meant, and it carries out the task in your connected accounts.

can you text an ai assistant on iMessage?

yes. you save a number as a contact and text it the way you text anyone. with ka the replies come back as blue bubbles in the same thread, so it sits between your actual friends in the app you already check.

do iMessage ai assistants work on android?

it depends on the product. ka is built for iMessage first, but android is supported: the thread falls back to green-bubble sms and works the same way. you only miss the imessage-only extras like typing indicators and read receipts.

is texting an ai assistant private?

treat the thread like any normal message thread and avoid sending passwords or card numbers. ka never sells or shares your number, only touches accounts you explicitly connect through google's own consent screen, and lets you delete your data whenever you want.
