Macy
Macy is a personal AI assistant that lives inside Apple's iMessage. Instead of a separate app, users add Macy as a contact and communicate via text. It can connect to Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, WhatsApp, and more than 500 other apps, bringing alerts, documents, and tasks into a single iMessage thread. The assistant proactively sends messages when something important happens—flight changes, price alerts, significant emails, or market movements. It can monitor accounts in the background around the clock, propose actions, and execute multi-step workflows after a user replies "yes." For example, it can catch an email, save a file to a private drive, and draft a reply in another app in one confirmation. Macy also supports voice, image, and video generation directly in chat, including custom stickers, and can help with language learning through daily quizzes and corrections. It can draft and send replies in WhatsApp or email on behalf of the user, always after confirmation. Trades are proposed through Robinhood's agent API and only execute after explicit approval.

Problem solved
Macy solves the fragmentation of personal and professional data across many apps by consolidating them into a single iMessage conversation. Rather than checking multiple inboxes, calendars, chats, and brokerage apps, users receive proactive notifications and can approve multi-step actions with a simple yes, reducing manual switching and missed items.
