Macy

Overview

Macy is a personal artificial intelligence that operates entirely within iMessage, functioning as a proactive assistant that connects to over 500 apps and services. Unlike traditional AI chatbots that wait for commands, Macy monitors Gmail, Calendar, WhatsApp, Slack, Robinhood, and other tools around the clock, sending users a text when something requires attention. Designed for individuals who want to reduce app-switching and stay informed without constant checking, Macy replaces a home screen of notifications with a single threaded conversation.

Key Features

• Proactive Texting: Macy does not require users to open an app or initiate a query. She watches for flight changes, price drops, important emails, calendar conflicts, and other events, then sends an iMessage alert before the user thinks to check.
• 500+ App Integrations: Through the web dashboard, users connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, WhatsApp, Notion, Robinhood, and hundreds of other services. Once linked, all data flows into one iMessage thread for unified management.
• Approval Gate: Sensitive actions such as stock trades, email replies, or WhatsApp messages require explicit confirmation. Macy drafts the action and sends a proposal; the user replies “yes” to execute. Nothing happens without approval.
• Standing Orders and Background Jobs: Users can set persistent rules like “Watch NVDA and my flight on Thursday.” Macy runs background jobs 24/7, monitoring markets, inboxes, and calendars, and proposes actions when conditions trigger.
• Cross-App Workflows: Macy can chain actions across multiple apps from a single confirmation. For example, she can catch an email, save an attachment to Drive, and draft a reply in WhatsApp—all after one “yes.”
• Content Generation: Beyond automation, Macy generates stickers, images, and even Spanish lessons directly in the chat. She can create custom images, correct voice note replies, and quiz users daily without leaving the messaging app.

How It Works

Getting started requires no download or signup. The user texts Macy’s phone number, which opens an iMessage thread. From the web dashboard, she connects the desired apps. Once linked, Macy begins monitoring all connected services for predefined triggers or user-defined standing orders. When something important occurs, she sends a text summarizing the event and offers options. The user replies with a simple command or “yes” to confirm an action. All history, files, and preferences are remembered across the conversation.

Who It’s For

Macy is built for busy individuals who rely on multiple digital services and want a unified command center without installing another app. It suits freelancers, remote workers, small business owners, and anyone who needs to stay on top of calendars, communications, and finances. The platform’s approval gate makes it appropriate for professionals who want automation but retain control over sensitive actions. Early adopters are currently using Macy for flight tracking, trade monitoring, group chat summaries, document retrieval, and language learning—all from a single text thread.
