Text ideas, parking spots and to-dos the moment they happen, then ask for them back whenever you need them.

## Example conversation

> **You:** Note: parked on level 3, row B12
>
> **Your AI:** Saved 📍 Level 3, row B12.
>
> _Today 6:48 PM_
>
> **You:** Where did I park?
>
> **Your AI:** Level 3, row B12. You saved it at 2:14 PM.

## How it works

Good ideas show up at bad times. Fire off a text to your AI, which is faster than opening a notes app, and let your agent keep track of it.

Later, just ask: “Where did I park?”, “What was that book Sam recommended?”, “Send me my packing list.” If your agent is connected to your notes or task manager, it can file things there too.

## Set it up

1. Connect your agent to AI Text-a-roo: tell it to set you up, or add our MCP server.
2. Text anything that starts with “Note:” (or just describe it).
3. Ask for it back by text, any time.

## Tell your agent

```
When I text you something that starts with “Note:”, save it and give it back when I ask.
```

## Questions

### Where are my notes stored?

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