AI in iMessage
AI assistant in iMessage
Text Caddy what needs doing. It can turn emails into calendar events, send the replies you approve, and work through tasks on websites. One conversation, fewer loose ends.
Move my dentist appointment to the new time in their email
Moved it to Thursday at 3:30. The office address and appointment notes are still on the event.
The problem
Most assistants add another app to check and wait for you to open it. You still have to notice what matters and start every task yourself.
How Caddy helps
- Find the details in emails or on websites and put the dates in your calendar.
- Write and send email replies after you review them.
- Fill shopping carts and work through online bookings and check-in.
- Text first when something important changes, then help you handle it.
Why Caddy is different
Caddy fits into the conversation you already use. There is no separate assistant app to learn or dashboard to keep checking. It can bring something to you, help with the next step, and leave sensitive actions in your control.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to download another app?
No. On iPhone, Caddy works through a normal iMessage conversation, so there is no separate Caddy app to learn.
Can Caddy read my other iMessage conversations?
No. Caddy sees messages in conversations that include Caddy, not unrelated conversations with other people.
Can Caddy text me first?
Yes. Caddy can send scheduled reminders, a useful morning brief, and relevant updates from the tools you choose to connect.
Which apps can Caddy use?
Caddy can work with connected tools such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Linear, and Todoist when a request needs their context.
When does Caddy ask for approval?
Caddy asks before sending emails or invitations and placing orders. Clear changes to your own calendar can happen from your request.
