Text.ai (YC X25)

TL;DR: Weve built AI search into personal and group chats applications that over 5.5B people use daily, no new apps or sign ups needed. 🤔 Why did we build this? Ever tried explaining to your mom how to download and use a new AI app? Yeah... thats why we built text.ai. We started with a simple idea: AI should meet people where they already are. No downloads. No learning curves. Just text and go. Incredibly simple. Our mantra is think from first principles, keep things ridiculously simple and build products for users where they already are. What began as a personal travel companion (helping Rushi find hidden veggie restaurants in Spain with no internet!) quickly became something bigger. Friends kept asking for access, especially for their group chats. They started using it for their Vegas trips, teaching their parents AI, debating fake news, talking sports, and even finding new date-night restaurants! The magic? All this happens without leaving the conversation. Now were on a mission to make AI accessible to everyone. ✅ How it works Step 1: Save Contact Card Step 2: Text it directly or add it to your group chats to make them lively Step 3: Have fun on SMS, Telegram, or WhatsApp!
