Here are the top AI agents that can live in your text messages

TechCrunch has put together a list of notable AI agents you can use directly in regular text messages, for everyday tasks, families, travel, and work.

✨ What these agents are

AI agents are assistants based on artificial intelligence that you can talk to the same way you chat with friends in a messenger. You don't need to install a separate app or learn a complicated interface: writing a message is enough.

The TechCrunch editors compiled a list of the most notable such agents. It includes general-purpose assistants as well as specialized ones for particular life situations.

📌 Who they are for

General-purpose assistants can answer questions and help with texts or plans. Family-oriented agents focus on shared tasks and reminders. There are also options for travel and work that help with trip planning or work tasks.

Before using them, it is worth carefully checking important information and not sharing personal data, passwords, or bank card numbers with the agents.
