“Text Mom happy birthday with her horoscope.” Your AI writes it, sends it from its number, and forwards her reply to you.

## Example conversation

> **You:** Text Mom happy birthday, with her horoscope for the year 🎂
>
> **Your AI:** Sent to Mom ✓ “Happy birthday, Mom! 🎉 Your year ahead, Leo: big adventures and a lucky streak…”
>
> **Mom (relayed by your AI):** Thank you sweetie!! ❤️ Since when do you read horoscopes?
>
> **You:** > Since you started loving them 😄 Dinner Sunday?

## How it works

On Pro, your agent can text people on your behalf. It sends from your AI's number, and when they reply, their message is forwarded straight to your phone, labeled with their name.

Want to answer them yourself? Start your text with > and it goes to them through your AI's number. Their replies reach you for an hour after your AI, or you, last texted them.

## Set it up

1. Upgrade to Pro (14-day free trial).
2. Ask your agent to text someone. Include their number and name.
3. Their replies land on your phone. Start a text with > to answer them yourself.

## Tell your agent

```
Text my mom (+1 555 010 0199) a happy birthday message with her horoscope, and forward me her reply.
```

## Questions

### Whose number does my contact see?

Your AI's AI Text-a-roo number, not your personal number. Your agent can mention your name so they know who it's from.

### How do I reply to them directly?

Start your text with “>”. For example, “> Dinner Sunday?” goes to your contact through your AI's number. Replies go both ways for an hour after your AI, or you, last texted them.

### Do their replies count toward my daily limit?

Yes. Each reply we forward to you counts as one message, like each text your AI sends, and so does each “>” reply you send back. We forward at most 20 replies an hour, and 50 a day, from one contact; after that, their replies aren't forwarded. And once 80% of your day's messages are used, we stop forwarding contacts' replies (we text you when that happens), so they can't use up the texts you need with your AI.
