What TextAgent actually does
Your calendar and inbox, run by text. No app, no login, no dashboard. You text your agent like a person, and it handles the details inside the tools you already use.
It lives inside Outlook, Google and Apple calendar and email rather than replacing them. Built by Keith Eddleman, and catalogued here because a list of what something genuinely does is more useful than a pitch.

- Calendar
- Outlook, Google and Apple iCloud are all live.
- Outlook is live today. Gmail is not yet — it is waiting on Google’s security review, and there is a waitlist until it clears.
- Phone calls
- It doesn’t make them. Text and email only.
- Anything it sends
- Drafted and shown to you first. Nothing goes out without your say-so.
Calendar
It books to your real calendar
Book by text
“Put dinner with Jill Friday at 7.”
Book from a photo
Forward a reservation screenshot or an invite and it lands as a real event.
Reschedule, move, cancel
“Move my 3pm to 3:30.”
Meeting reminders
A heads-up 15 minutes before, plus when to leave based on live traffic.
Instant invite alerts
Seconds after someone invites you: “Scott invited you to X, Thursday 2pm. You’re free. Accept, decline, tentative?” Reply with one word.
RSVP by text
Accept, decline or tentative, and it confirms the response actually went through.
Cancellation alerts
The organizer cancels, you’re told, and the reminder is stood down.
Double-booking detection
“Am I double booked Thursday?” It warns you before it stacks two things.
Real attendee invites
It emails meeting requests to the people you name.
Teams and Google Meet
Meetings created with the join link attached.
Timed reminders
“Let me know when boarding.” “Remind me to call the vet at 4.”
Multi-calendar
Personal, work and shared, all at once.
It reads, watches, and replies as you
Reads and triages your inbox
Tells you what matters and skips the noise.
Watches for the mail you care about
“Text me immediately if a client emails looking to buy.” It texts you the second it lands.
Drafts and sends replies as you
From your own mailbox, in your voice, and never without your confirmation.
Reply-all done right
Shows you exactly who it is going to before anything sends.
Compose, forward, save to drafts
Full email actions by text.
Multi-person meeting coordination
“Set up 30 minutes with Bill, Dana and Steve next week.” It finds a time, emails everyone, books it, and reminds you.
Forward anything to your agent
It has its own email address, so you can hand it something to capture or act on.
Multiple mailboxes
More than one account is supported.
Photos and vision
Send a picture, it does the thing
Reservation screenshot
Becomes a calendar event.
Receipt photo
Filed and recallable. “What did I spend at Tony’s?” weeks later.
Business card
Saved to contacts.
Whiteboard or to-do list
Becomes reminders and tasks.
Event flyer or sports schedule
Every date on your calendar at once.
Second brain
It remembers
Remembers what you tell it
People, preferences, dates, the small specifics.
Recall anytime by text
“What’s the wine I liked at Uchi?”
Learns who’s who
The people in your life and work, over time.
Captures durable facts from photos
Receipts and cards stay useful long after the moment.
Proactive
It reaches out first
Morning brief
Weather, today’s calendar, what needs attention, and a quote to start the day.
Pre-meeting heads-ups
Including when to leave, given the traffic.
Connection-drop alerts
If a calendar or inbox disconnects, it tells you to reconnect.
You control the cadence
Normal, light or minimal, plus quiet hours and a vacation mode that pauses reminders.
Local intelligence
It knows the world around your day
Weather
Now, and at your event’s time and place.
Traffic-aware drive times
With a leave-by time.
Nearby places
Restaurants and spots near an event or near home.
Airport drive-time
So you know when to go.
Knows when you’re traveling
And adjusts to where you actually are.
The feel
The trust layer
No app, no dashboard, no login
Just text.
SMS and iMessage
Your agent has its own phone number and its own email address.
You name your agent
It’s yours.
It never claims it did something it didn’t
Honest confirmations, and honest failures.
Confirm-first
On anything it sends on your behalf.
STOP works instantly
And permanently.
In practice
What it looks like in a thread
The whole product happens in a text message. No screen to open, nothing to learn.
…three weeks later — “What did I order at Uchi?”
An assistant that lives where you already look.
Everything above runs through a text thread, which is the one thing everybody already checks. The agent works inside the calendar and mailbox you already have, and it shows you anything it is about to send before it sends it.
You made it this far. You're clearly my kind of reader.
