Read the full description
Rook is an AI chief of staff that lives in iMessage. No app, no dashboard. You just text it. It reads your email and calendar, sends a morning brief, preps you before meetings and tracks your packages. Text a screenshot of anything and it finds the best price and buys it on your yes. It finds and kills forgotten subscriptions. For founders: it texts you when Stripe or prod breaks, turns a texted bug into a GitHub PR and watches your launch mentions. First 10 people get Pro free for a week.

Partial The LLM assistant, calendar and email integrations, and morning briefs are vibe-codeable. Reliable iMessage access and autonomous purchasing on a user's yes are much harder.
What it would actually take: Building it means an LLM agent with Google/Microsoft OAuth for email and calendar, plus a package-tracking and price-search layer. The hard parts are iMessage ingestion (no official API, so it needs a Mac-based bridge or a licensed relay), and secure checkout with payment and fraud handling. That requires macOS/iMessage engineering and payments/security expertise.
