My agent sits in our family iMessage chat and told my wife dinner moved

He connected the AI to iMessage on his Mac with a BlueBubbles server, polling about every 5 seconds and waking only for allowlisted senders and chats. When he moved dinner with his wife by 30 minutes in his calendar, the AI messaged the family chat on its own and told his wife about the change.

How it works

  1. Run a BlueBubbles server on his Mac
  2. Poll for new messages about every 5 seconds
  3. Filter to an allowlist of senders, 1:1 chats and group chats
  4. Wake the AI with the new message as context
  5. Send replies back out as normal iMessages

Why it’s worth knowing

There is no iMessage connector, so he wired the AI into the family chat himself and it now passes on plan changes like a family member would.
