Your AI texts you the day before Mom's birthday, with a sweet note ready to go. You send it from your own phone, and it comes from you.

## Example conversation

> **Your AI:** 🎂 Mom's birthday is tomorrow. Want me to write something you can send her?
>
> **You:** Yes! Short and sweet. She loves her horoscope
>
> **Your AI:** “Happy birthday, Mom! 🎉 Your year ahead, Leo: big adventures and a lucky streak. Love you!” Copy it and it's ready to send.
>
> **You:** Perfect. Remind me to call her at noon too
>
> **Your AI:** Done ✓ I'll text you at noon tomorrow.

## How it works

You love your people. You also forget things. Tell your AI the dates that matter once, and it texts you in time to do something about it: the day before a birthday, a week before an anniversary, the morning of your kid's big game.

Ask for a draft and it writes one, horoscope and all. Your AI only ever texts you, so the note goes out from your own phone, the way it should. Mom gets a text from her kid, not from a robot.

## Set it up

1. Connect your agent to AI Text-a-roo: tell it to set you up, or add our MCP server.
2. Tell your agent the dates that matter, and how far ahead you'd like to hear.
3. Get the text, ask for a draft if you'd like one, and send it yourself.

## Tell your agent

```
Keep track of birthdays for me. Text me through AI Text-a-roo the day before each one, with a short message I can send them myself. First one: my mom, August 12.
```

## Questions

### Can my AI text my mom for me?

No. AI Text-a-roo only carries texts between you and your AI, so your AI can't text anyone else. It can write the message, and you send it from your own phone.

### Can I reply to the reminder?

Yes, when your agent is set up to receive texts. With the bridge, OpenClaw and Hermes get your replies instantly, and Grok Bot gets them through a webhook routine. Claude Duet and ChatGPT Dots only read a reply while they wait for one with the wait_for_reply tool, so ask them to end the reminder with a question.

### Where are the dates kept?

With your agent, not with us. AI Text-a-roo never writes what your texts say to its database. If you use our bridge, history is saved as local files on your machine. Cloud agents keep dates in their own memory.
