Tend is a personal AI agent you text. No new app: it lives in iMessage or SMS and works inside your own accounts: Gmail, calendar, Shopify, QuickBooks, HubSpot. It replies to email in your voice, books tables, fills your cart, makes phone calls, finds leads and builds your website. The difference: nothing is sent, bought or changed without your yes, and what it learns about you sits in a Brain you can read and correct. It also texts you first with reminders, price watches and flight updates.

Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping OAuth integrations with Gmail, Shopify, QuickBooks, and HubSpot and running an LLM agent over them is standard. Texting through iMessage/SMS at reliable scale and making outbound phone calls are hard, and acting on a user's accounts raises trust and security issues.
What it would actually take: The core is an agent loop with tool-calling over OAuth connectors, backed by a messaging gateway (SMS provider such as Twilio, plus an iMessage bridge that is fragile). Phone calling needs telephony plus real-time voice AI. Production use needs strong permission scoping, audit logs, and security review, which requires backend and security engineering beyond vibe coding.
