Show HN: I built a tool to create AI agents that live in iMessage

Hey everyone, I made this thing: https://tryflux.ai/

Context: I've tried probably 15 different AI apps over the past year. ChatGPT, note-taking apps, productivity apps, all of it. But most of them are just clutter on my iphone.

They live in some app I have to deliberately open. And I just... don't. But you know what I open 50 times a day without thinking? iMessage. So out of mild frustration with the "AI app graveyard" on my phone, I built Flux.

What it does: - You describe a personality and what you want the agent to do - In about 2 minutes, you have a live AI agent in iMessage - Blue bars. Native. No app download for whoever texts it.

The thesis that got us here: AI is already smart enough. The bottleneck is interaction. Dashboards get forgotten. Texts get answered.

This was also my first time hitting #1 on Product Hunt, which was surreal.

We're very early and probably broke something. If you try it, feedback is super welcome, weird edge cases, "this doesn't work," or "why would anyone use this" comments all help.

That's all. Happy to answer questions.
