I built an IMessage agent that lets you be lazy and work smarter
It’s called Intern , it’s a time saving agent
Intern has a 4 stage workflow
1. Interviews you and proposes personalized daily workflows for your approval
2. It can Searches LinkedIn,Reddit ,remote ok , YouTube and RSS for job listings or relevant info
3. Every night Intern reviews its actions and improve workflows automatically based on your feedback and reactions
And in the morning you receive a review on what’s changed

“The couch is currently 7-0 against your workout ambitions this week.”
Gravity is free. Get on the floor
I wanted an unyielding, inspiring muse living in my texts
A muse who reminds me of the workout promise I made to myself this year
But going to the gym everyday somewhat became a hassle.
So I built repriot!
An inspiring muse that pushes me and prevents me from slacking off just because I can’t physically hit the gym
Calls out my BS, drafts home workout blueprints and tracks my discipline.
No gym gear. No commute
Just pure accountability inside iMessage

I built CEO Me your personal board of directors inside iMessage.
Most AI assistants wait for you to ask a question, give you an answer, and disappear.
I wanted something different.
Something that could help me make a difficult decision, turn that decision into an actual commitment, remember what I promised to do and come back later to find out whether I actually did it.
So I put a Board of Directors inside iMessage.
💰 CFO looks at the money, cost and trade-offs.
⚙️ Operator looks at execution, capacity and what can realistically be done.
🔭 Future You looks beyond the immediate pressure and asks what this decision means for the person you're trying to become.
You bring CEO Me a real dilemma.
The Board convenes, looks at it from the perspectives that matter, and gives you a verdict.
But CEO Me doesn't stop at advice.
The flow is:
VENT → CONVENE → DECIDE → COMMIT → RETURN → REMEMBER
You bring the messy decision.
The Board reasons through it.
CEO Me gives you a verdict and a concrete first move.
You can challenge the Board, ask why, clarify what you meant, or change the commitment.
Once you agree on what you're going to do, CEO Me turns it into a commitment and attaches a deadline.
Then you can leave.
No need to keep the conversation open.
When that deadline arrives, CEO Me comes back on its own through iMessage and asks whether you actually did what you committed to.
DONE.
BLOCKED.
ABANDONED.
That return is one of my favorite parts of the build.
It isn't a pre-recorded response or a user sending another message to wake the agent up.
CEO Me persists the commitment and deadline, and when it becomes due, its scheduler initiates the follow-up through Photon back into the real iMessage conversation.
And it doesn't pretend something happened when it didn't. If a follow-up can't actually be delivered, CEO Me doesn't record it as successfully sent.
That's the idea:
Don't just give me intelligence. Give that intelligence continuity and accountability.
And somehow, this one product ended up touching all three sides of the Photon Muse challenge:
🤪 Unhinged — I literally put my CFO, my Operator and my future self inside iMessage and gave them permission to come back later and hold me accountable.
⏱️ Time-Saving — instead of spending hours circling a decision, one conversation can move from dilemma → perspectives → verdict → action → commitment → deadline.
✨ Inspiring — Future You isn't there just to give motivational advice. Future You gets a seat at the table when Present You is making decisions that tomorrow's version of you will have to live with.
And underneath all of this is a real working loop:
real iMessage → real Board decision → real commitment → persisted deadline → proactive Photon follow-up → recorded outcome.
No dashboard to remember to open.
No separate productivity app.
The interface is the place where the conversation already happens:
iMessage.
Built with Photon.
Meet CEO Me — your Board is in session. 🎬

As a creative one thing that solves 90% of our problems is Frictionless Intimacy:
Inspiration never hits when you are sitting in front of Figma or Notion. It hits on a walk, in a coffee shop, or at 2:00 AM. You don't open a workspace on a walk. You text an iMessage contact.
Yet creative momentum is fragile. Most nascent ideas die as abandoned shower thoughts, messy Apple Notes, or voice memos you never replay.
When you ask standard AI for inspiration, it acts like a corporate consultant: it spits out 10 numbered bullet points packed with generic buzzwords, completely killing the artistic tension.
Meet Aura: a sensory creative thought partner and living atelier inside iMessage, powered by @PhotonHQ.
Aura exists for the messy 0-to-1 phase of creative work. When you drop an unpolished thought, photo, or aesthetic dilemma into the thread, Aura eliminates the text-scroll paradigm with native tactile primitives:
1. Inline Visual Spec Canvases: Instead of describing an aesthetic across four paragraphs, Aura instantly renders bespoke Brutalist exhibition contact sheets and Braun-inspired industrial schematics with exact hex palettes.
2. Native iOS Voice Waveforms: Instead of abstract descriptions of tone and mood, Aura synthesizes 108Hz and 110Hz binaural audio stems, attached directly as playable Apple voice memo waveforms.
3. One-Tap Interactive Apple Polls: When deciding between materials or finishes (e.g. bead-blasted raw aluminum vs. anodized obsidian), Aura drops a native interactive poll into the thread. When you vote, live status morphing permanently ratifies the decision into your studio ledger without breaking conversation flow.
4. Geo-Synesthesia & Nocturnal Residency: Aura samples your ambient location and civil twilight light to build localized sensory studies, or incubates narrative outlines autonomously overnight.
Aura refuses generic AI cheerleading. It acts as the "Third Mind" in your pocket—giving radical, truthful aesthetic direction and forcing decisive artistic choices inside a blue bubble.
Rather than asking "Which do you prefer?", Aura drops a native interactive poll directly into the thread so you can ratify decisions with one tap.

🤖 Made with AI
Vene is live, and it talks to you in iMessage powered by @PhotonHQ
The referral that never arrives, the bill that makes no sense: that's exactly the kind of follow-up an agent should handle in the blue bubbles.
Congrats @sujaldkl and team!
Today, I'm launching Vene: your AI advocate for healthcare.
I used to spend a dozen hours a week managing care for my dad, a disabled veteran, and my mom, who has a severe autoimmune disease. Healthcare was a full-time job for my family.
Our goal is to end the burden of care for every family:
When you're sick, or caring for someone who is, the hard part is everything after the hospital: the referral that never arrives, the test result nobody calls about, the bill that makes no sense, and everything in between.
For my dad, he spent hours on the phone to book an MRI. When he showed up, they told him to his face that insurance had stopped covering it. Then insurance told him to call a list of other offices and get the paperwork sent over himself, and he ended up giving up.
That’s why we’ve trained Vene to handle the toughest aspects of healthcare:
- Coordinating several specialists at once
- Challenging surprise bills and treatment denials
- Catching missed follow-ups and care gaps
My mom uses Vene to coordinate her primary care and endocrinologist, automatically refill and renew her prescriptions, and manage my little sister’s dental appointments.
They were my first users, and now over 5,000 families use Vene, and we're deploying it to another 50,000 patients across provider networks in the US.
This is what a personal assistant looks like when it isn't trapped in a chat window.
An agent needs two things to be useful: a way to act, and a way to reach you anywhere. Fo now has both.
Congrats @shivanipod and the team!! 🎉
AI can think. AI can talk. AI can get things done.
Today, we're giving Fo a way to feel and control the physical world.
- a head shake and a reminder in a lamp to get you going
- nudge your vacuum cleaner for a deep clean
- make your cli call you for updates

Introducing Photon 2.0 ❤️
A year ago, we started Photon to bring AI agents to iMessage. We never imagined how much we'd learn about messaging along the way.
Today, we've rebuilt Photon from the ground up, with an entirely new engine and one unified API for iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, voice, and more.
Couldn't be prouder of our small team.

Photon 2.0 is what a year of that taught us. @ryanzhuuuu wrote up the full story, including the new iMessage engine and the API model behind it:
read the blog: photon.codes/blog/introducin…
building imessage agent at scale should never be a hard problem!
after working with amazing teams building personal agents at scale, we realized that Go plays a much bigger role in agent development than we expected.
so we're bringing native Go support to @PhotonHQ 2.0!
