Tom
A personal assistant you reach by text message. Set reminders, keep a task list, save things you want to remember, and get answers — from any phone, including one with no apps and no browser.
Most assistants assume a smartphone. Tom does not. It works entirely over SMS, so it runs on a basic handset, an old phone, or whatever you happen to be carrying. If you prefer a screen, it works over Telegram too, and both stay in sync.
What it does
| Reminders | "Remind me in twenty minutes to move the car." "Every Sunday at 8, pay the bills." One-off or repeating, in plain language. |
|---|---|
| Task list | Things to do with no time attached. Add them, ask what is on the list, mark them done. |
| Notes | A parking space, a size, a confirmation code. Tell it once, ask for it later. |
| Questions | Weather, times, prices, a fact you cannot recall. It searches and answers in a sentence or two. |
Tom is in limited release. Access is by invitation while the service is small. If you would like access, request it here — and signing up for text messages is entirely optional and separate from everything else on this site.
