Full-time SWE here. I’ve been working on a side project with a small team and wanted to share it here because I think people in this community might actually find it useful.
It’s an AI assistant that you text directly through iMessage/SMS, basically like texting a friend. The difference is that behind the scenes, it can activate a private AWS server for each user, giving the agent access to its own computer.
So it’s not just answering questions. It can actually work through tasks for you. It can help build apps, create websites, make presentations, research things, organize plans, compare options, set reminders, and handle more involved projects on the go.
One of my friends used it to plan an entire vacation and get update notifications on places he was interested in staying. That was the moment where it really clicked for me. The value isn’t just “AI in a chat.” It’s being able to text something casually and have it actually start doing the work.
It’s free right now while we’re testing, so I made a link for anyone here who wants to try it: textlux.com/awake
Would genuinely love feedback from people who test it. Before dismissing it, try giving it a real task.
