其中 Instinct 最新融资 10 亿美元、估值 100 亿美元，并为助手提供专用邮箱； Caddy 自 2026 年 4 月起公开测试； Fambot 融资 350 万美元； Wajo 的 Fo 拥有独立邮箱、电话号码和支付卡。
与其下载另一个应用程序，越来越多的代理可以像普通人一样通过短信进行交流。
你可以通过短信告诉它你的需求，它可以记住上下文，连接你已经使用的应用和服务，并代表你完成任务。这可能包括安排约会、整理日历、研究旅行计划、发送电子邮件、预订、在线购物，或者在几天后提醒你某件事情。
虽然Instinct是目前最热门的AI代理之一，由于其最新融资轮后的100亿美元估值：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/28/viral-ai-agent-instinct-raises-1b-series-c-at-a-10b-valuation/ 对10亿美元的融资，也有许多其他公司也在争夺这一领域。
以下是目前一些最值得注意的选项，从通用个人助理到专为家庭、旅行和工作设计的代理。
Caddy：https://caddy.app/ 是一个AI助手，可以将你手机上分散的信息转化为实际可操作的内容。它运行在iPhone用户的iMessage和Android用户的RCS中，因此无需单独的应用或收件箱来不断检查。
例如，电子邮件中包含需要添加到你的日历的约会，或者朋友发送一份购物清单。Caddy会连接你的日历和对话，识别可能需要处理的事项，而无需担心所有细节被埋没。它可以将事件添加到日历、设置提醒、跟踪后续事项，甚至为你进行研究。
Caddy 自 2026 年 4 月起已提供公开测试版。
Fambot：https://fambot.com 是一个为家庭设计的AI“幕僚长”，旨在整合家庭生活中的众多活动，包括学校通讯、体育活动、餐饮计划、日历以及其他日常责任，并将它们转换为有组织的计划。
该服务旨在同时通过应用程序和短信进行工作。Fambot 可在 iOS 设备、Android 设备和网页上使用，家庭也可以直接通过短信与其互动。每晚，Fambot 会自动发送第二天的摘要，包括即将到来的活动、待办事项以及诸如校服或打包要求等细节。家长可以回复这些消息以提问、查询信息或对日历进行更改。
Fambot 当前连接到 Gmail 和 Google 日历，未来计划支持 Outlook 和 Apple 日历。
公司于 2026 年 9 月初推出了测试版：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/01/fambot-introduces-an-ai-chief-of-staff-for-families/ 并已筹集了 350 万美元的种子前融资。该服务在测试期间目前免费，但 Fambot 预计最终将收取大约相当于 Netflix 订阅的费用。
Folk：https://www.folk.com/ 设计成可通过 iMessage、WhatsApp 和 Telegram 访问的 AI 助手。它可以记住个人背景、管理提醒、研究主题、跟踪航班、处理电子邮件，并执行现实世界的任务，如餐厅预订。
一个区别是 Folk 运行在其自己的私人云计算机上。它还可以运行代码并执行多步骤任务，而不仅仅是进行对话式响应。
Folk 于 2026 年 5 月推出测试版，目前可免费使用，但如果你希望在后台无限制运行任务，也提供每月 8.33 美元的专业订阅服务。
Instinct：https://instinct.com/ 首次登上新闻头条是在以 25 亿美元估值筹集 3.5 亿美元：https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/26/viral-ai-startup-instinct-has-raised-350-million-at-a-2-5-billion-valuation/。 2026 年 9 月，它再筹得 10 亿美元：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/28/viral-ai-agent-instinct-raises-1b-series-c-at-a-10b-valuation/，公司估值达到 100 亿美元。
始终可用的代理可以代表您采取行动，而不仅仅是回答问题。用户可以通过文字或语音与Instinct交流，并将其连接到他们已经使用的应用程序和服务，如电子邮件、日历、Google Workspace等。公司表示，早期用户已经使用Instinct完成从规划旅行、购买杂货到预订票务和取消订阅的各种任务。
该公司仍处于私有测试阶段。
Hermes代理提供支持的Iris：https://iris-agent.co/personal-assistant 旨在让用户通过iMessage直接将任务委派给AI助手。用户可以连接他们使用的应用程序，并通过一条简单的信息交付任务。代理随后完成所需步骤，同时保留之前互动的相关上下文。它还被设计为主动跟进用户，而不是等待新的请求。
Martin：https://www.trymartin.com 是一款通用的个人助理，可通过短信、电话、WhatsApp、电子邮件、Slack以及其自己的iOS应用：https://apps.apple.com/us/app/martin/id6453473083?ajs_aid=29fc544b-f16e-410e-8f0a-b57ab3f4bc9a 联系。
它可以帮助管理日历、电子邮件、提醒、任务、笔记和通信。它还可以代表用户发送消息或拨打电话，同时提供每日需要注意事项的摘要。
价格略高，订阅费用从每月21美元起。
Miso：https://miso.com/ 将个人助理概念专门应用于旅行。
它通过iMessage操作，将AI旅行规划与专门的旅行团队支持结合起来。用户可以通过消息安排航班，同时Miso会考虑他们的旅行偏好、积分和其他优先事项。Miso还为旅行者提供行程详情、航班更新以及个性化推荐。
Ohai：https://www.ohai.ai/ 是另一款家庭助手，专注于帮助家庭管理日常生活中不断涌现的信息和任务。
用户可以发送消息、转发电子邮件或进行语音请求，助手可以将它们转换为日程安排、提醒和计划。它还可以协调家庭多个成员的日历、家务和餐饮。
它包括一个免费的基础选项，但也根据家庭规模提供不同的订阅，起价为每月$9.99。
与其他以家庭为中心的助手类似，Ollie：https://ollie.ai/ 的理念是家庭已经拥有所需的信息，但这些信息散落在学校信息、日历、任务列表和群聊中。Ollie旨在将这些信息整合并保持同步。它可以跟踪日历、电子邮件、提醒、任务和其他家庭事务，然后通过文本向用户提供相关信息。
Ollie于2026年6月推出，提供免费的层级，以及付费计划，起价为每月$25，包含150条消息。每月$100的计划包含最多1,000条消息。
Orbits：https://tryorbits.com/ 也有一个专注于家庭的AI助手。
它可以通过Orbits应用和短信工作，并能整合日历、列表和对话，同时为你执行各种任务。这包括网络搜索、购物、预订餐厅、更改预约以及请求家庭服务报价。
此外，Orbits可以提醒家庭成员完成家务，与服务提供商沟通，并帮助协调超出家庭范围的职责。
Orbits 得到像 Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Speedrun 基金、N49P 和 Garage Capital 这样的投资者支持。
用户可以像对待朋友一样与Pally：https://pally.com/ 互动，同时授予其访问用户已经依赖的应用的权限。该助手可以连接散布在WhatsApp、Gmail、日历和Google Drive等服务中的信息，帮助用户跟踪计划、收据、日期、文件和其他细节。
提供免费的计划，包括每月15分钟的通话，或者有付费计划，包括每月$25可获得30分钟通话，每月$100可获得60分钟通话。
Poke：https：//poke.com/ 于2026年3月推出：https：//techcrunch.com/2026/04/08/poke-makes-ai-agents-as-easy-as-sending-a-text/，作为一款通用助理，用户可以通过短信联系。它能处理日历、规划、健康与健身、智能家居控制、照片及其他日常活动等任务。
Poke在2026年6月尤为引人注目，当时苹果批准了：https：//techcrunch.com/2026/06/04/apple-approves-poke-as-the-first-ai-agent-on-its-messages-for-business-platform/ Poke，成为Apple Messages for Business平台上的首个AI代理。一个月后，母公司加州互动公司被收购：https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/why-cognition-bought-poke-ai-personality-is-becoming-a-competitive-advantage/by AI编程初创公司Cognition，交易金额约为九位数低位。
Rene：https：//rene.co/ 是一款AI个人助理，设计为用户的“最佳联系人”，而非另一个生产力代理。它基于文本，可以将自然语言对话转化为任务、提醒、总结及其他后续操作。Rene还能在对话间保持上下文，使其能够记住细节并揭示可能之后需要关注的内容。
此外，它还配备了浏览器，可以编写代码、为您购物，并能制作幻灯片和图片。
Rene 目前可以通过 iMessage、Telegram 和 WhatsApp 联系。
Skye：https：//skyeapp.ai 不再等待用户打开应用，而是为 iPhone 设计的“代理主屏幕：https：//techcrunch.com/2026/04/27/investors-back-skye-signull-labs-ai-home-screen-app-for-iphone-ahead-of-launch/”，分析连接服务中的信息，并通过上下文卡片、建议和每日简报呈现其认为相关的内容。助手可以生成音频简报，提前准备会议信息，显示提醒，并识别潜在有用信息。
该公司Signull Labs在2025年筹集了约360万美元的种子资金。该软件于2026年4月进入私有测试和测试阶段，尚未公布公开发布日期。
Stanley：https://www.getstanley.ai/welcome 是一款面向内容创作者而非一般个人生产力的 AI 内容助手。它可以通过 iMessage、Telegram 和网页使用，充当一种 AI 内容负责人，帮助用户提出创意，将其转化为帖子，并保持一致的发布计划。
例如，Stanley 可以连接用户的 Instagram 账户，利用该背景根据用户实际动态建议内容。用户还可以发送语音笔记，Stanley 会将其转换为脚本、标题和其他社交资源。它包括内容日历，并且可以安排帖子发布，其更广泛的目标是让内容创作成为一个更连续、自动化的过程，而不是用户必须坐下来从头计划。
Tomo：https://www.tomo.ai/ 的 iMessage 个人助手的最大区别在于，它不是一个仅你与之互动的私人助手，而是可以成为群聊的一部分。
此外，像其他代理一样，它旨在帮助实现目标、责任管理、日程安排和日常组织。它还具有发送提醒、搜索网页、处理日历和电子邮件、观看视频以及编辑照片的能力。
基本套餐每月起价为19.99美元。
Town：https://www.town.com 更侧重于职业生活。它为用户提供一个“Townie”，一个 AI 助手，旨在学习用户的工作方式并处理重复的职业任务。它可以与邮箱、日历、文档、Slack 以及其他平台协作。
2026 年 6 月，该公司完成了 5500 万美元的 A 轮融资：https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/town-raises-55m-series-a16z-134500847.html，由 Andreessen Horowitz 和 Forerunner 领投。
Wajo：https://wajo.ai/join-wajo 的首个面向消费者的代理 Fo，可以打电话给企业、发送电子邮件、加入群聊、进行预订和购买，并与他人协调完成日常任务。
Wajo 方法的关键部分是赋予 Fo 自身的身份。该代理拥有自己的电子邮件地址、电话号码和支付卡，使其能够与企业互动，而无需用户提供自己的凭证。
值得注意的是，当Fo遇到它无法独自处理的事情时，Wajo表示它可以引入人类助手来完成任务。
Fo于2025年9月公开发布，提供免费级别，而更高负载和定制代理可通过付费的Pro版本获得。

Rather than downloading another app, a growing number of agents can simply be texted like an ordinary person.
You text it what you need, and it can remember context, connect to the apps and services you already use, and complete tasks on your behalf. That can mean scheduling an appointment, organizing a calendar, researching a trip, sending an email, making a reservation, shopping online, or reminding you about something days later.
While Instinct is one of the buzziest AI agents at present, thanks to its $10 billion valuation after its latest funding round：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/28/viral-ai-agent-instinct-raises-1b-series-c-at-a-10b-valuation/ of $1 billion, there are many others also making a play for this space.
Below are some of the most notable options so far, from general-purpose personal assistants to agents designed for families, travel, and work.
Caddy：https://caddy.app/ is an AI assistant that turns the information scattered across your phone into things you can actually act on. It lives in iMessage for iPhone users and RCS for Android users, so there’s no separate app or inbox to constantly check.
For instance, an email contains an appointment that needs to be added to your calendar or a friend sends a list of things to pick up. Instead of worrying about all the details getting buried, Caddy connects to your calendars and conversations, then identifies things that may require action. It can add events to your calendar, set reminders, keep track of follow-ups, and even do research for you.
Caddy has been available in public beta since April 2026.
Fambot：https://fambot.com is an AI-powered “chief of staff” for families, designed to bring together the many moving parts of family life, including school communications, sports activities, meal planning, calendars, and other day-to-day responsibilities, and turn them into an organized plan.
The service is designed to work across both an app and text messages. Fambot is available on iOS devices, Android devices, and the web, and families can also interact with it directly over SMS. Every night, Fambot automatically sends a summary of the following day, including upcoming events, to-dos, and details such as school uniform or packing requirements. Parents can reply to those messages to ask questions, check information, or make changes to their calendar.
Fambot currently connects to Gmail and Google Calendar, with support for Outlook and Apple Calendar planned for the future.
The company launched：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/01/fambot-introduces-an-ai-chief-of-staff-for-families/ in beta in early September 2026 and has raised $3.5 million in pre-seed funding. The service is currently free during the beta period, but Fambot expects to eventually charge roughly the equivalent of a Netflix subscription.
Folk：https://www.folk.com/ is designed to be an AI assistant you can reach through iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram. It can remember personal context, manage reminders, research topics, track flights, handle email, and perform real-world tasks such as restaurant reservations.
One distinction is that Folk runs on its own private cloud computer. It can also run code and execute multi-step tasks rather than merely responding conversationally.
Folk launched its beta in May 2026, and it’s available for free but also offers a Pro subscription for $8.33/month if you want unlimited tasks running in the background.
Instinct：https://instinct.com/ first made headlines after raising $350 million：https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/26/viral-ai-startup-instinct-has-raised-350-million-at-a-2-5-billion-valuation/ at a $2.5 billion valuation. In September 2026, it raised $1 billion：https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/28/viral-ai-agent-instinct-raises-1b-series-c-at-a-10b-valuation/, valuing it at $10 billion.
The always-available agent can take actions on your behalf, rather than simply answer questions. Users can communicate with Instinct by text or voice and connect it to the apps and services they already use, such as email, calendar, Google Workspace, and more. The company says early users have used Instinct for tasks ranging from planning trips and buying groceries to booking tickets and cancelling subscriptions.
The company remains in private beta.
Powered by Hermes agent, Iris：https://iris-agent.co/personal-assistant is designed to let users delegate tasks to an AI assistant directly through iMessage. Users can connect the apps they use and hand over a task with a simple message. The agent then works through the required steps, while retaining relevant context from previous interactions. It’s also designed to follow up with users proactively rather than waiting for another request.
Martin：https://www.trymartin.com is a general-purpose personal assistant reachable through SMS as well as phone, WhatsApp, email, Slack, and its own iOS：https://apps.apple.com/us/app/martin/id6453473083?ajs_aid=29fc544b-f16e-410e-8f0a-b57ab3f4bc9a app.
It can help manage calendars, email, reminders, tasks, notes, and communications. It can also act on behalf of users by sending messages or making phone calls, while providing daily summaries of what needs attention.
It’s a bit on the pricier side, with subscriptions starting at $21 per month.
Miso：https://miso.com/ takes the personal-assistant concept and applies it specifically to travel.
It operates through iMessage and combines AI trip planning with support from a dedicated travel team. Users can arrange flights through messaging while Miso takes into account their travel preferences, loyalty points, and other priorities. Miso also gives travelers access to trip details, flight updates, along with personalized recommendations.
Ohai：https://www.ohai.ai/ is another family assistant focused on helping households manage the constant stream of information and tasks involved in everyday family life.
Users can send messages, forward emails, or make voice requests, and the assistant can transform them into schedules, reminders, and plans. It can also coordinate calendars, household chores, and meals across multiple members of a family.
It includes a free basic option, but also offers different subscriptions based on family size, starting at $9.99 per month.
Similar to the other family-focused agents, the idea behind Ollie：https://ollie.ai/ is that families already have the information they need, but it lives across school messages, calendars, task lists, and group chats. Ollie aims to bring those pieces together and keep them in sync. It can keep track of calendars, emails, reminders, tasks, and other household details, then deliver relevant information to users through text.
Launched in June 2026, Ollie offers a free tier, as well as paid plans starting at $25 per month for 150 messages. A $100-per-month plan includes up to 1,000 messages.
Orbits：https://tryorbits.com/ also has an AI assistant that is focused on the household.
It works through both the Orbits app and text messaging, and can bring together calendars, lists, and conversations while also carrying out tasks for you. That can include searching the web, making purchases, booking restaurants, changing appointments, and requesting quotes for household services.
Additionally, Orbits can remind family members about chores, communicate with service providers, and help coordinate responsibilities beyond the immediate household.
Orbits is backed by investors like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Speedrun fund, N49P, and Garage Capital.
Users can interact with Pally：https://pally.com as they would with a friend while giving it access to the apps they already rely on. The assistant can connect information spread across services such as WhatsApp, Gmail, calendars, and Google Drive, helping users keep track of plans, receipts, dates, files, and other details.
There’s a free plan available, which offers features like 15 minutes of calls per month, or there are paid plans, including $25 per month for 30 minutes of calls and $100 per month for 60 minutes.
Poke：https://poke.com/ launched：https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/08/poke-makes-ai-agents-as-easy-as-sending-a-text/ in March 2026 as a general-purpose assistant that you can reach through text messaging. It can handle tasks involving calendars, planning, health and fitness, smart-home controls, photos, and other everyday activities.
Poke became particularly notable in June 2026 when Apple approved：https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/04/apple-approves-poke-as-the-first-ai-agent-on-its-messages-for-business-platform/ Poke as the first AI agent on the Apple Messages for Business platform. A month later, parent company The Interaction Company of California was acquired ：https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/why-cognition-bought-poke-ai-personality-is-becoming-a-competitive-advantage/by AI coding startup Cognition in a deal valued in the low nine figures.
Rene：https://rene.co/ is an AI personal assistant designed to be a user’s “best contact” rather than another productivity agent. It’s text-based and can turn natural-language conversations into tasks, reminders, summaries, and other follow-up actions. Rene also maintains context across conversations, allowing it to remember details and surface things that may need attention later.
Additionally, it has a browser, can write code, shop for you, as well as create slides and images.
Rene is currently available on iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
Instead of waiting for users to open an app, Skye：https://skyeapp.ai is an “agentic homescreen：https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/27/investors-back-skye-signull-labs-ai-home-screen-app-for-iphone-ahead-of-launch/” for the iPhone that analyzes information from connected services and surfaces what it thinks is relevant through contextual cards, suggestions, and daily briefings. The assistant can generate audio briefings, prepare information ahead of meetings, surface reminders, and identify potentially useful information.
The company, Signull Labs, raised about $3.6 million in seed funding in 2025. It entered private testing and beta in April 2026, and hasn’t yet announced a public release date.
Stanley：https://www.getstanley.ai/welcome is an AI content assistant aimed at content creators rather than general personal productivity. Available through iMessage, Telegram, and the web, it acts as a kind of AI head of content, helping users come up with ideas, turn them into posts, and maintain a consistent publishing schedule.
For instance, Stanley can connect to a user’s Instagram account, using that context to suggest content based on what the user has actually been doing. Users can also send voice notes, which Stanley turns into scripts, captions, and other social assets. It includes a content calendar and can schedule posts, with the broader goal of making content creation a more continuous, automated process rather than something users have to sit down and plan from scratch.
The biggest differentiator with Tomo：https://www.tomo.ai/’s personal assistant for iMessage is that, instead of being a private assistant that only you interact with, Tomo can become part of group conversations.
Also, like other agents, it’s designed to help with goals, accountability, scheduling, and everyday organization. It also has the ability to send reminders, search the web, work with calendars and email, watch videos, and edit photos.
The basic plan starts at $19.99 per month.
Town：https://www.town.com is aimed more at professional life. It gives users a “Townie,” an AI assistant designed to learn how they work and handle recurring professional tasks. It can work with email, calendars, documents, Slack, and other platforms.
In June 2026, the company raised a $55 million Series A ：https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/town-raises-55m-series-a16z-134500847.htmlled by Andreessen Horowitz and Forerunner.
Wajo：https://wajo.ai/join-wajo’s first consumer agent, Fo, can call businesses, send emails, join group chats, make bookings and purchases, and coordinate with people to complete everyday tasks.
A key part of Wajo’s approach is giving Fo its own identity. The agent has its own email address, phone number, and payment card, allowing it to interact with businesses without requiring users to hand over their own credentials.
Notably, when Fo encounters something it cannot handle on its own, Wajo says it can bring in a human assistant to finish the task.
Fo launched publicly in September 2025 with a free tier, while heavier workloads and custom agents are available through a paid Pro offering.
