Ted is your iMessage agent that cares.

I wanted an agent with a permanent UI.

So I built Pulse Core. A simple app that lets any agent create and update custom widgets and mini apps on your home screen. Native features like Apple Health, haptics, the camera.

I realized you could make an agent have a real impact on your everyday life through apps and permanent UI. Tracking my calories in a widget I'd actually glance at. Having important stuff from the day show up on the home screen instead of buried in a chat. The less people had to talk to the AI, the less time they spent on their phone, the more it just felt like a better experience.

Building on top of other agents wasn't ideal.

I realized it while building Pulse Core. I wanted more control, and I wanted more capabilities.

As I started building my own, I realized there were a lot of ways to make an agent more conversational and better to use just by focusing on the details. Through a better orchestration system, a whole different way to think about skills, and a bunch of smaller ML model adjustments, I could build one of the most conversational agents in the world.

An agent that's better than anyone else not only because of what it can do, but because of how it speaks.

Ted was just an experiment.

I made him to test what an iMessage agent could be, without a launch plan or a roadmap. I dropped a tweet with what he could do at that point.

Then, as a joke, I made a professional-ish trailer for one of the features and posted that too.

Everyone was loving it. Companies in the space were commenting. People kept asking for access. So I decided I need to show this off and give people what they want.

That's why this waitlist exists.
