Get a text from your bot before something needs doing

Instead of waiting for you to ask, the assistant watches your calendar and email and texts you first: your flight is late, want a car? Saturday is free, want a plan with the kids? Reply yes and it does it.

What the bot does

  1. It reads the calendar and email you connect, so it knows your trips, plans, deliveries and who's involved.
  2. When something needs doing, it sends you one text in iMessage or WhatsApp at the right moment, with an offer.
  3. You reply with a word or two. It books, orders, moves or replies on the app or website for you.
  4. Anything that costs money shows the price first, and it only says something is booked once the company confirms it.
  5. Each morning it can send a short brief of what's coming up, and it stays quiet when nothing needs you.

What you end up with

Fewer surprises: a heads-up text with the fix already lined up, so a yes is all it takes.

Copy-paste prompt

Fill in the [brackets]. Then paste it into any tool below.

Copy this prompt
Every morning at [7:30], look at my calendar and email for today and tomorrow. Text me only if something needs a decision: a delay, a clash, a reply someone is waiting for, or a free block I said I wanted to fill with [family time]. Offer one fix with the price. Don't book, buy or reply until I say yes, and never text me between [9 pm] and [7 am].

Setup

  1. Sign up at heykiwi.co and pick iMessage or WhatsApp. It opens a chat with “Hi Kiwi” already written; press send.
  2. Answer its setup questions in the chat, then connect only your calendar and email to start.
  3. Ask it to watch one thing for you, like “tell me when Marta replies about the deposit”, to see how it works.
  4. When it offers to book something, check the price and details before you say yes.
  5. If a type of suggestion annoys you, tell it to stop suggesting that kind of thing.

Watch out

  • It reads your calendar and email, so connect only the accounts you're comfortable sharing.
  • Some websites ask you to prove you're human, and the maker says Kiwi can get stuck there. Have a plan B for anything time-critical.
  • A yes can spend money. Read the price in the message every time.
  • Product Hunt users asked for quiet hours, so set clear do-not-disturb times in your instructions.

What this costs to run

In a chat app it runs inside your plan. If you run it as a bot on an AI API, the bill depends on how often it runs and how much it reads.
