Hi! I'm sure this is very cool, but want to know what this does before I try it. I typed in the chat: what does this do? Will you build me an agent behind a phone number I can chat with? And it tried to open up iMessage which I denied because IDK in the first place what this is.
This seems to be a wrapper around LangAgents that can be linked to iMessage. I would not say the agents "live in iMessage," rather that they interface through iMesssage.
I tried this and the flow is sketchy UX even if it’s probably not malicious. It opens Messages, has you send a code to a number they control, and that “verifies” you. Probably to multiplex many chats on one phone number. That’s not a takeover by itself (you’re not forwarding a bank/Apple 2FA), but it’s sketchy. It also doesn’t work. It said hello and stopped replying.
united has free messaging on their flights and i found myself using meta's ai chatbot via whatsapp a few times. it's system prompt forces it to ask me inane questions at the end of every action so i would be happy to switch to something else.
just tried making one using this and it initially was way too casual for me and i didn't like how it split responses into many messages but it's very responsive to my prompts to change its style.

You can find a bit more on what's (likely) behind this in the github repo: https://github.com/photon-hq/flux
(NB: the deployed version may not be exactly the same as the code in the repo)

I want to know what this is and what it does before I give it permissions.
